Introduction

Load virtually any sample via standard SD card* and assign it to any of the MPX8’s eight backlit

velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads. It’s that simple. Use it in the studio. Use it live on stage

or on air. MPX8 packs proven Akai Pro technology into a compact, durable design that’s built to

perform.

* SD card sold separately.

1. USB Port: Use the included USB cable to connect this USB port to (A) your computer or (B) the

included USB power adapter, and then connect the power adapter to a power outlet.

2. Power Switch: Turns MPX8 on and off. Remember to use the included USB cable to connect

MPX8 to a power source first.

3. SD Card Slot: Insert a standard SD card containing samples into this slot. Use the MPX8 Editor

(downloadable for free from www.akaipro.com/mpx8) to load samples onto an SD card. If you

choose to load samples to an SD card without using the MPX8 Editor, please see the Using Your

Own Samples section of this manual to make sure they are formatted properly.

4. Main Out: Use audio cables with standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) TS connectors to connect these

outputs to a speaker or amplifier system. For mono sound, connect a cable only to the left (L)

output. Adjust the volume of these outputs with the Volume +/– buttons.

5. Headphone Out: Connect stereo headphones with a standard 1/8" (3.5 mm) plug to this output.

Adjust the volume of this output with the Volume +/– buttons.

6. Display: Shows MPX8's current parameters and other operations. See the Display Overview

section of this manual for more information.

7. Data Dial: Decreases or increases the value of the currently selected parameter.

8. Select +/–: Moves up or down through the available parameters shown in the Display.

9. Volume +/–: Adjusts the volume level sent to the Main Out and Headphone Out. Press both

buttons at the same time to stop all samples that are currently playing.

10. Pads: Use these pads to trigger the samples on an inserted SD card (sold separately). The pads

are velocity-sensitive and pressure-sensitive, which makes them very responsive and intuitive to

play.

The pads light up different colors to indicate their current states:

• Off (no color): The pad has no sample assigned to it.

• Orange: The pad has a sample assigned to it.

• Green: The pad's assigned sample is currently playing.

• Red: The pad is currently being edited (whether or not a sample is assigned to it).

Note: The pads' pressure sensitivity does not affect sample playback. "Pressure information" is

only sent out the MIDI Out as polyphonic aftertouch messages when MPX8 is used as a MIDI

controller.

11. MIDI In: Use the included 1/8"-to-MIDI cable to connect this output to the MIDI Out of an external

MIDI device. This is useful if you want to use an external MIDI device to trigger samples assigned

to MPX8's pads (set each pad's MID parameter to the desired MIDI Note number). MPX8

recognizes MIDI Note On messages over Channel 10 only.

12. MIDI Out: Use the included 1/8"-to-MIDI cable to connect this output to the MIDI In of an external

MIDI device. MPX8 can then send MIDI Note On and polyphonic aftertouch messages to that

device (set each pad's MID parameter to the desired MIDI Note number).

13. Kensington® Lock Slot: This connector is compatible with standard laptop-style Kensington

security cables for theft protection.
