Hi, from Black BT Pedals, the makers of the Black BT SusEx pedal, the world's first SMART pedal that is BLE MIDI enabled and works best with the Akai MPC X, One, Live & Keys series of instruments. It is the only way to have Sustain & Expression pedal controls on the MPC X, One & Live series of products and also the most streamlined way to do the same with Keys.

You can watch a quick demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIS25LWMjfM

You can check out the features at http://www.ilio.com/bbt

Feel free to get in touch at [email protected] for a live demo with your model of the MPC.

Cheers,
Satish/..

Looks great, I remember this from NAMM 2023, although it was $149 back in those days! Is this $280 pricing just temporary due to Trump-tariffs or just the way it is moving forward?

Do you have a UK distributor for this, and if so, what kind of UK pricing should we expect (inc VAT)?

Hi ... so great to hear that you have seen it at NAMM. Mainly the price increase is due to supply chain issues, so it's just the way it is for now. We are trying to absorb most of the tariff price increase. Worst case scenario might end up at 299. Will update you soon on the UK pricing shortly.
