Standalone Music Production Center with Sampler and Sequencer
The MPC X is a powerful standalone music production workstation, complete with an integrated sampler, sequencer, 10" touch screen, 16 velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit pads and 16 endless encoder "Q-Link" controls, each with an OLED display.

IN THE MOOD FOR MODULAR
Control external analogue synth gear using the 8 built-in CV ports. These ports can be configured to send pitch, velocity, and gate CV to analogue synths, drum machines, etc. Automate knob movements, notes, gates and play it all back in time with the MPC. This makes the X one of the best modular sequencers available.

TOUCH IT, PLAY IT
Control every parameter using the 16 fully assignable, touch-capactive Q-Link knobs. With a dedicated OLED display above each 360° knob, you can easily see what parameter you’re tweaking and the current assigned value. The Q-Links are great for adding expressiveness to your tracks thru recording automation.

SOUNDS FOR DAYS
The MPC has a well-earned reputation for sounds that hit hard and sound great, right out of the box. The MPC X comes pre-installed with The Vault 2.0, 10GB of radio-ready sounds from the world’s top sound design companies as well as our own signature samples.
