This music-production monster delivers more music-production horsepower than any MPC before, but with a hands-on user interface that is so intuitive you can probably pick one up and put it to work without so much as touching the manual. From the moment we met the MPC X, the producers here at Sweetwater realized that this argument was over. One of the biggest 'love it or hate it' factors between MPC models is the balance of user-friendliness versus feature depth. 10GB Vault 2.0 sample library includes production-ready content.Improved Q-Link control and drag-and-drop MIDI/audio also included.MPC 2.0 adds audio track recording and upgraded time warp.Control your entire rig with extensive MIDI, CV/Gate, and USB I/O.Pro-quality, all-bases-covered analog I/O connects to everything.Preloaded with an epic collection of sounds you'll actually use.16GB of internal storage and external hard drive support.16 of the best velocity-/pressure-sensitive pads you'll ever feel.10.1' multi-touch screen and all the hands-on controls you need.Delivers a perfect blend of classic loop and modern track production.Everything you loved about sampling and beat-making onboard.A complete stand-alone DAW that lets you untether from your PC.

With one foot in the future and one in the past, this sweet, standalone sampling powerhouse combines everything you miss about traditional beat production with flexibility that goes beyond the most cutting-edge modern music workstation. The fact is, each classic MPC is the 'best' one in the eyes of one producer or another, but one thing's for sure, Akai's MPC X is the modern MPC all the diehards have been waiting for. There's the sheer warmth that makes the original '60 a classic collector's piece that's still pumping out the grooves today, but there's also the amazing flexibility of the '2000/XL and the insane all-in-one features of the '5000. There's no way to even know which one was the most popular. Want to start a fight? Just ask a room full of old-school beat makers what the all-time best MPC is.
