    • Great machine at good price
Great little machine. Has me producing again. Easy to learn and has a good price tag. Sound quality is great and very portable. Definitely need to get a sd card for more space but still worth getting.

    • Fantastic lil’ beat machine
Review Image by Spaceman Fresh
Amazon is terrible with preorders, they lie about delivery dates all the time. You’re better off buying things like household necessities and random gadgets here, rather than games, consoles, or cool tech like this MPC Sample. Anyway, I come from making beats in Acid Pro over a decade and some change ago. The MPC was always intimidating to me but the Sample’s price point and portability made me pick it up…and folks like DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dibia$e, Datsun, and more having fun with it. I’m not a pro in the least but my 10-year-old son took to this with ease. Crazy. Anyhoo, 10/10, would buy again, just not from Amazon until the hype dies down. I designed this custom skin and ordered it from Lofi Andy, you can find him on Etsy, Instagram, and Threads. The knobs, I purchased from MPCstuff. ... show more

    • Great sampler drum machine
Great sampler. If you are familiar with the older mpc’s then it is a breeze to use. It’s simple and to the point. It’s also a lot of fun to make music with.

    • The C port is best part about it even charge it on the go
Only Con was the in built speaker is to lame should been a way to plug a blue tooth nose speaker into it: it’s good mid range grade place start making music. I recommend for beginners and pros it’s grate toy find some interesting ideas from just fun to use not for serious productions grate for music lovers who don’t mind the noise it makes. Grate price it pairs well with anything else now if your iPhone isn’t C port then won’t let use it with your mpc sample is 8.9 almost a 9.1 it’s fun depending one if just what be lazy it works well then being on the DAW all day long. Durability is grate still don’t drop it don’t forget leave it anywhere : and it’s not waterproof. ... show more

    • No reason to hesitate!!!
Dont be fooled by the size. This thing packs a punch! And for the price, you can't beat it. It's capability is quite good. Of course its not gonna be as powerful as the Live or other models but I think its well worth what they're charging. The sample is super cool. I'm in my bed making beats on my lap with this thing, something I can't do with my Live or my 2000XL. Chopping samples is so easy. And you get options how to do it. The workflow is really streamlined with most of the buttons having dual purposes. They zoomed in on what many beat makers really want. Buts its the compact size, robust capabilities and affordable price that makes it a hit for me. I think Akai has another classic on it's hands here. ... show more

    • Best sample machine hands down
Best sample machine I've used. Straight forward. Easy to use. Learning curve isn't too high. Well built. Good size. Battery lasts a while. Pads feel good. The only limiting things: No automatic note/key detection No easy way to go up or down an octave when in 16 key mode Naming projects can be a bit of a hassle ... show more

I love my new travel buddy! Make sure you download new firmware day one. Simple workflow that accommodates your creativity. Pads are nice and slider gives old school MPC vibes. USB-C takes this machine sampling to another level. AKAI will update this bad boy adding new features. 1.3 already gives us Normalize. If you don't own a sampler then MPC Sample is the perfect gateway. Great value for money and compact to fit in a bag. Pair this with an IPAD or Samsung Tablet 😁 ... show more
