Once an audio part has been created, the process of syncing (or ‘warping’) it to your chosen BPM is very simple using the in-built time-stretch function which I found worked really well on an acapella I imported from a USB flash drive.īoth units ship with 10Gb of pre-installed sound content, meaning you will be making music straight out of the box in minutes. The larger of the two, the ‘X’, has CV/Gate outputs meaning if you like to use outboard effects units or modular gear, it acts as a hub in the studio & everything can be controlled via its 10.1” full colour, multi touch screen.īoth have the usual ins/outs you would expect (MIDI, XLR, Jack) but what makes these units really exciting is the RCA inputs that allow you to hook up a turntable directly to either unit and rip a vinyl sample in seconds. They both have approx 6 hours battery life with continuous use. That means they do not need to be hooked up to a computer, the benefits of which make them portable, easy to use on the go (especially the more compact ‘Live’ version) & great in a live gig situation. they are AMAZING!Īs you may already know, these are standalone. You may have heard a bit about these units already, but having had a few hours with them I can tell you straight…. Last month I had the privilege of getting a hands-on exclusive look at the new MPC-X & MPC-Live from Akai.
