The MPC has a reputation for sounds that hit hard and sound great right out of the box. A number of new features added to 2.0 include: audio track recording, an improved time warp algorithm, enhanced Q-Link control, audio and MIDI drag and drop. Capable of running natively on the MPC X in standalone mode, MPC 2.0 can also be run from a Mac or PC with the X tethered to a computer. Powering the X is MPC 2.0, Akai Professional’s new update to the MPC software.

Rounding out the controls are dedicated menu buttons, a large master encoder knob and 16 touch-sensitive 360º assignable pots (Q-Links) with OLED displays, perfect for precisely automating individual parameters and delivering expressively nuanced recordings. To make it a truly untethered, computer-free experience, the X also features two USB slots that can be used for MIDI controller connectivity. The X is a standalone MPC featuring a beautiful, full color 10.1' multi-touch screen that flips up for easy viewing or lays back into the chassis for transport and times when you don’t need a front view of the screen (like when you’re playing pads live). It has 16 amazingly responsive, velocity and pressure-sensitive RGB pads and 16 gigs of internal storage. It is free of any performance issues, and has no scratches, blemishes, or other cosmetic flaws. This item was returned in mint condition.
