Works as it should!

Per Sweetwater:

After years of genre-defying innovation, the technology behind the acclaimed music production center is now available in a potent, portable package — this is the Akai Professional MPC Sample. Marrying historic workflow with modern malleability, this groovebox is a force of multimode beat-making, armed with an array of auditory exploration tools that Sweetwater’s production pros are excited to take on the go. More than 100 onboard drum kits complement a suite of studio-to-stage sound-shaping capabilities, supporting both on-the-fly jams and rigorous, late-night creations in equal measure, while the classic four-by-four set of performance pads is backlit with vivid yet unobtrusive RGB lighting. And thanks to the built-in 3-watt speaker and integrated microphone, limitless sampling opportunities are yours to wield. Across sequencing, sampling, 60-plus flexible effects, and diverse connectivity configurations, the MPC Sample is engineered to amplify inspiration whenever and wherever it strikes.
