Used Akai MPC X Music Production Center

Used Akai MPC X Music Production Center

One of the biggest “love it or hate it” factors between MPC models is the balance between user-friendliness and feature depth. From the moment we met the MPC X, the producers here at Sight & Sound realized that this argument was over. This music production monster delivers more music production horsepower than any MPC before. Still, 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.This ease of operation is entirely based on the integration of its onboard software and complete set of hands-on controls. The sheer surface-level access the MPC X delivers means you don’t have to go deep to find the features you want. Just take a look at the control layout, and you’ll get the idea.
