Description: (SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR IMPORTANT SELLER NOTES) This AKAI Professional MPC X is a powerful sampler and sequencer that comes in a sleek black color. It is a digital unit that allows for precise and creative control over your music. With its standalone design, it can be easily incorporated into any studio setup. This sampler and sequencer is perfect for musicians and producers looking to take their music to the next level. Its features include a variety of sounds and effects, as well as the ability to create your own unique sounds. DESCRIPTION: Alpha and Omega The history of modern music is intrinsically linked to the Akai Professional MPC line. We’ve created machines that have spawned new genres and advanced existing ones. Countless instruments have attempted to replicate the design, workflow and celebrated swing of the Music Production Center. In short, the MPC is a legend maker. In creating the new MPC X, we’ve learned lessons from every MPC that preceded it to engineer a production centerpiece truly fit to be the Music Production Center of the future. The Beast, Unleashed The X is a standalone MPC featuring a beautiful, full color, adjustable 10.1” multi-touch screen, 16 amazingly responsive, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads and 16 gigs of internal storage. To make it a truly untethered, computer-free experience, the X also features two USB slots that can be used for MIDI controller connectivity. Powering the X is our stellar MPC 2.0 Software, which runs natively in standalone mode. For more expressive performances, there are 16 touch-sensitive 360-degree assignable pots—perfect for precisely automating individual QLink parameters. Above each of those QLink pots is a high-resolution OLED display, detailing info for the individual parameter. To Plug or Not to Plug Whether you prefer to go computer-free or not, it can’t be denied that there are some fantastic sounding VST instruments and effects out there. For those times when you need your favorite plug-ins, the MPC X effortlessly goes from formidable standalone to high-powered MIDI controller, explicitly designed to run the feature-rich MPC Software 2.0 in your favorite DAW. A number of new features added to 2.0 include: Audio track recording, improved time warp, enhanced Q-Link control, audio and MIDI drag and drop—all appearing on a new graphical interface. Infinite Sounds, Unlimited Inspiration The MPC has a well-earned reputation for sounds that hit hard and sound great, right out of the box. The X builds on that reputation. Pre-installed with 10 gigs of world-class sounds, The Vault 2.0 features samples and kits from top-notch sound design companies including CAPSUN ProAudio, MVP Loops, CR2 Records, as well as our own. Want to incorporate your own samples without tethering to a computer? The X features a 2.5” SATA drive connector providing additional storage via installation of a fixed hard drive – SSD or HDD (sold separately). Additionally, sounds can be accessed and added to the library using the built-in SD Card slot or the USB thumb drive. You can also record directly to all the aforementioned storage locations. Above and Beyond The MPC X has a number of additional features that make it the most powerful standalone music production tool to date. The X has a high quality audio interface engineered for recording, sampling and transmitting pristine sound. The back panel is equipped with 2 XLR + 1/4” TRS inputs for recording microphones - including those needing 48V phantom power. There are two additional 1/4” TRS line inputs on the back panel and the front panel also features two more 1/4” line inputs. Onboard CV/Gate outputs enable the analog control of modular gear such as classic synths and drum machines. For vinyl junkies, we include two RCA phono inputs with RIAA preamp to ensure the right levels are coming into the X from your turntable. The joy of sampling vinyl is at the core of what made the classic MPC workflow legendary. We’re staying true to our roots while simultaneously improving the sound and stability of the sampling process. The MPC X is the pinnacle of lengthy research and development, detailed feedback from our passionate user base and the merging of the best technologies from across our product line. We proudly present the Music Production Center that embodies the best of past, present and future beat-oriented production machines. The MPC X will be the centerpiece of studios worldwide—and yours — for years to come.

The screen still has the protective plastic film on it and the screen cover is included. The small red NOTW vinyl sticker on the front panel of the unit and the crosses sticker on the unit screen cover are easily removable. The only minor cosmetic flaw with this unit is that on the left side of the unit, there are 3 very light abrasions on the paint that are barely noticable. While working from home my pen touched the unit on that side 3 times and left 3 lil pen dots, so I used some alcohol pads to try to remove the ink dots and it worked but took a lil bit of the shine of the paint off and made the red color a lil dull in the 3 small places I rubbed the alcohol pads. Seriously so minor and like barely noticeable. You can barely even see them in the picture I took of it, it’s so minor. See picture #11 of the left side of the unit to see what I mean. Where the shinyness is a little less, that’s where the alcohol pads were wiped. Had no idea it would take the shine off a little, but like I said it’s really nothing and barely noticeable at all. Bought this last year and really don’t use it as much as I thought I would, as I realize now I prefer to make beats with software programs, so this beauty didn’t get used much at all. Unit is in “Like New” working condition and also in absolute GREAT cosmetic condition. No scratches on anything. All of the pads and buttons are in mint, brand new condition. Non-smoker studio- this piece has been well taken care of. Having a hard time financially so really need some cash, so selling it at a great price. Paid the Retail $2,499 price for this unit and literally it’s in like new condition and has been updated and offered with extras- You are seriously getting an amazing deal. I will literally put all the extras for this on DVD discs for you, which alone is worth alot. THIS UNIT IS GUARANTEED TO BE IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION. Comes with the original box and manuals, Quick Start Guide, originally bundled MPC Expansion Packs and Firmware/Drivers (these have already been installed)- basically everything that originally came with this unit will be included. Total eXtra MPC Expansion packs total 86 GB’s! You are getting hooked up! Will ship professionally in the original product box and also the same outer shipping box that I got it in. This will arrive undamaged. Will ship USPS Priority with insurance included. The software that came with the unit was registered on Akai.com, but I am willing to de-register the unit and any of the software that came with the unit so Buyer can re-register the unit to their own Akai InMusic Brands account. This is important because you will want any future updates. The unit is updated to the latest firmware already though I believe. Listen, I’ve checked and compared pricing on eBay and there’s a ton of these out there for a lower price but you will probably not find many Sellers willing to take the time to actually transfer ownership to you and you will not get a unit in this great of condition with everything that came with it including the software and original box and also the extras that I’m offering for anything near this price point- The unit has already been installed with alot of Extras (Partner and 3rd Party Plugins etc.) that Akai offers to MPC X buyers when you register the unit. This will save you ALOT of time! It took me hours to install all the additional content that’s on this thing, plus I’m including extra Expansion Packs that I kept stored on an external hard drive. So this thing will come extra loaded from the jump! Like I said, I bought a few fire MPC Expansion packs I’m willing to put on a couple DVD discs as an extra bonus to the Buyer as well! I have a crazy sound library and for anybody that buys this for the Buy It Now Price, I’m going to throw in a couple of Big Fish Audio Sample Libraries of at least 3-4 Gb’s each as an extra, extra bonus! Buyer, hit me up after you buy to arrange the transfer of ownership. Any questions, feel free to ask!
