A compact, battery-powered sampler delivers the legendary MPC workflow anywhere inspiration strikes.
Akai Professional is pushing its legacy forward with the introduction of the MPC Sample, a streamlined, standalone device designed to make beatmaking more accessible than ever before. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Akai MPC60, the new unit captures the essence of classic MPC workflow in a compact, modern format built for creators at any level. Whether you’re a seasoned producer or just getting started, MPC Sample removes the barriers: No computer, no complicated setup, just pure creativity.
