Here are the details:
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
1) Improved Akai MPC design
• Large graphic LCD display based on the friendly user interface of
the MPC series
• MPC's iconic "feel" and "groove"
• Velocity and pressure sensitive pads allow for expressive
programming, with more pad banks
• New Features such as Chopshop, Patched Phrase, Grid Edit, Effect and
LFO sync, Mixer Automation,
and Input Thru
• Expanded Pattern-based 100,000 notes, 64-track sequencer and 64
external MIDI channels
• 32-voice full-featured 16bit sampler equipped with 16MB of RAM with
ability to hold 128 RAM
2) Extensive connectivity
• Two MIDI inputs and four MIDI outputs
• Built-in USB Slave port for connection to a Windows or Mac OS computer
• Built-in 10 analog outputs
• 2 1/4" stereo analog inputs and outputs with 16bit/44.1kHz sampling
• Master/Slave synchronization capabilities: MIDI clock
• 2 Assignable Footswitch inputs
3) Sample Library Compatibility- Compatible with Akai MPC1000
Sequence, .wav, Program,
MPC2000/2000XL Sequence, .wav, SND, Program, MPC2500 Sequences, .wav,
Programs,
MPC3000, Z4/Z8.wav and S5000/6000.wav
4) Extensive sound control
• Extensive sample editing that includes cut and paste, timestretch,
slice, resampling etc, with waveform
display
• Dynamic resonant multi-mode filters, 2 envelope generators and 1 LFO
for each of the 32 voices
• 2 Q-Link sliders and 2 knobs for real-time control over a wide
variety of dynamic changes
5) Self-contained
• Optional user installable Internal hard drive to store custom sound
libraries and sequences
• Optional user installable CD-RW drive to load CD-ROM libraries,
sample Audio CDs, and backup
personal data
