MPC Sample

Akai Professional MPC Sample

Seit fast 40 Jahren prägen MPCs den Klang und die Kultur der modernen Musikproduktion. MPC Sample führt dieses Erbe fort, indem es die Kunst des Samplings zugänglicher und einfacher als je zuvor macht. Inspiriert vom legendären MPC60-Design vereint dieser portable Sampler, Sequenzer und Effektprozessor den ikonischen Workflow klassischer MPCs in einem kompakten, modernen Format mit Funktionen für grenzenlose Kreativität.

Legendäre MPC-Pads, ein Vollfarbdisplay und einfache kreative Bedienelemente fördern intuitives Sampling, Looping und Beatmaking direkt nach dem Auspacken.

MPC Sample ist mit allen Speicher- und Anschlussmöglichkeiten ausgestattet, die Kreative benötigen. Ein wiederaufladbarer Lithium-Ionen-Akku, microSD-Kartenspeicher, integrierter Sequenzer, internes Mikrofon, eingebauter Lautsprecher und USB-C-Anschluss ermöglichen das einfache Aufnehmen, Bearbeiten und Abspielen von Audio unterwegs – ganz ohne Computer oder DAW.
