Portable Sampling Made Simple
The MPX8 lets you load samples using a standard SD or SDHC card and trigger them directly from eight responsive pads. Whether you are playing one-shot drums, vocal drops, sound effects, loops, or custom samples, it provides a hands-on workflow that is easy to prepare and quick to perform with.
Eight Velocity-Sensitive Pads
Eight backlit velocity-sensitive pads provide direct access to your sounds, giving performers an expressive and practical way to trigger samples. With 8-voice polyphony and eight sounds accessible via pads, the MPX8 is well suited to live sample playback, drum triggering, and compact performance rigs.
USB MIDI and Standard MIDI Control
The MPX8 supports MIDI over USB and 5-pin DIN MIDI via 3.5 mm MIDI in and out connections, making it useful for controlling software, DAWs, MIDI instruments, and external hardware. This flexibility makes it suitable for both computer-based studios and hardware-focused live setups.
