A collector's model to mark 35 years of the most famous rhythm sampler
Just 35 years ago, the MPC was in its infancy and was already revolutionising modern music production, paving the way for a new era of groove-based production. To celebrate 35 years of success, the MPC X Special Edition is adorned with the original Akai colour and typography, recalling all the style and nostalgia of the original MPC60 for your modern productions. This new MPC X has a larger memory and more internal storage and comes with the MPC Instrument Collection, making the MPC X Special Edition the most powerful MPC.
Modern performance for an inimitable retro style
Equipped with a quad-core processor, the MPC X SE has 4 GB of RAM for faster loading times and extended sampling capabilities for a super-powerful workflow. Record the largest projects and access your sound libraries whenever you need to thanks to its 48 GB internal storage capacity. With WiFi and Bluetooth, you will no longer be hindered by cables and connections for high-speed data transfers.
A true nerve centre of any production studio, the MPC has been and continues to be one of the mainstays of recording studios to facilitate music creation. This collectible MPC X SE draws on this heritage with its iconic colour scheme stamped with the logo and retro typography, while giving producers back their rightful place.
The new heart of your studio
The MPC X SE is designed to bring together and unify all your tools and creative spaces in a single, modern music production centre. Control all your MIDI-compatible synthesizers and keyboards with the two MIDI inputs and four outputs, or control your modular and Euro Rack systems via the 8 TS 3.5 mm outputs. The two USB-A ports provide a super-fast connection to your studio's various storage devices, USB controllers, MIDI expanders or Class Compliant audio devices.
Capture audio directly from your turntables to create samples and loops and save them on the MPC X SE. With 4 GB of RAM, it is now possible to capture longer audio tracks, offering extensive creative possibilities. The two XLR/jack combo inputs faithfully reproduce the sound of your instruments and line-level devices such as microphones. Phantom power ensures that even your large-diaphragm condenser microphones can be plugged in and used directly on all your MPC sessions.

The MPC X SE puts you firmly in control of a fully integrated workflow. Combine the proven MPC workflow with multiple connections for all your wired devices, numerous audio outputs for independent sound routing, and wireless Ableton Link 3 functionality via Wi-Fi, so that any creative task is literally at your fingertips from the MPC X SE.
