Akai Professional MPC Sample Portable Standalone Sampler

Turn a sound into a sample, a sample into a groove, and a groove into your next track. The Akai Professional MPC Sample brings hands-on sampling, sequencing and creative effects together in a compact instrument you can use without a computer. Whether you’re starting your first beat or looking for a portable companion to your studio setup, it puts the focus on playing and experimenting.

Capture inspiration wherever it happens

Record sounds through the built-in microphone, connect an external audio source or sample directly from a compatible phone or computer over USB-C. With a rechargeable battery and onboard speaker, you can sketch ideas away from your usual recording setup. Included factory content provides a starting point when you want to get straight into making music.

Chop, play and reshape your samples

Instant Sample Chop Mode helps you break recordings into playable sections, while real-time Time-Stretch and RePitch let you explore different rhythms and tunings. Tap out grooves on the responsive MPC pads, then use the three control knobs and parameter fader to shape your sounds as you play.

Add movement, texture and character

Four onboard effects engines offer 60 effect types for creative processing. Experiment with Pad FX, Knob FX and Flex Beat, or use internal resampling to capture processed sounds for further manipulation. From subtle changes to dramatic sample transformations, there’s plenty of room to develop your own sound.

Build ideas into arrangements

Use the onboard sequencer to develop patterns and combine them into songs. When you’re ready to continue in a larger setup, MPC Sample projects can open in compatible MPC hardware and desktop software running version 3.8 or later. It’s a practical way to carry an idea from a portable session into your main production workflow.

Delivery Exclusions

PLEASE NOTE:

Some products are exceptionally large, heavy or bulky and require specialist freight services. This typically includes items such as large PA speakers, dual 15″ speaker cabinets, dual 18″ subwoofers, flight cases and other oversized or very heavy equipment.

We work hard to keep our prices as competitive as possible and, in most cases, delivery is completely covered by our standard shipping rates. However, for certain oversized items being delivered to regional or outlying areas, the actual courier cost can be significantly higher than standard deliveries. This is also owing to factors completely outside of our control (petrol costs and rising costs of delivery by courier partners)

If this applies to your order, we will always contact you before dispatch to discuss the available options. These may include:

Proceeding with a small additional freight contribution.
Collecting the order from one of our suppliers or a nearby courier depot where available.
Cancelling the order for a full refund if a suitable solution cannot be reached.

Please be assured that we only request an additional freight contribution in exceptional circumstances where the courier cost is substantially higher than normal. Our goal is always to deliver your order at the advertised price whenever possible.

If you’re unsure whether an item may be affected, you’re welcome to contact us before placing your order and we’ll gladly provide a delivery estimate.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support!
