Expression is key to any performance, and Korg’s MPS-10 unlocks endless shades of sonic versatility to elevate your rhythmic and melodic possibilities. This multifaceted 10-pad sampler and drum controller boasts an impressive arsenal of sounds, from its 48-voice polyphony and 200 curated kits to nearly 100 onboard effects and a staggering 3,000 audio samples spread across more than 2,300 instruments. Suffice it to say, experts and percussion aficionados alike are impressed by the scope of styles encompassed within the MPS-10’s comprehensive library of ultra-high-fidelity samples. Instruments ranging from classical and world percussion instruments to high-octane electric styles and one-shot SFX make Korg’s MPS-10 a bona fide powerhouse of percussive potential. The only thing missing from its expressive pads, 4-track looper, and extensive connectivity suite is the most important piece of the performance puzzle: you.
Reactive, responsive appointments and a world of possibilities
Korg designed the MPS-10 with a sleek, intuitive interface engineered to inspire straight out of the box. Its diverse suite of kits, percussion, hits, and FX one-shots aren’t just a matter of quantity. The superlative quality of the samples works in concert with its 10 expressive, reactive pads, including four CC-capable pads for managing playback, triggering samples, cueing loops, and more. Because the pads are fully assignable, personalization is an endless sonic odyssey bolstered by a robust 32GB onboard storage and 100 user preset slots to painlessly save, edit, and recall your favorite kits and sounds.
Comprehensive connectivity, sampling, and sound design
Thanks to the MPS-10’s robust library, players of any style will find solid sonic foundations, from live bands and studio sessions to commercial and film work. A staggering 77 built-in effects are always on tap, endlessly shapable and seamlessly saved alongside your custom kits. Robust sampling and looping capabilities let you quickly expand your aural arsenal, and a built-in 1/4-inch microphone input ensures you can capture with clarity, striking while the inspirational iron is hot. What’s more, the MPS-10’s I/O suite leaves no stone unturned: a 1/4-inch stereo output pair, two 1/4-inch sub outputs, a stereo line-level 1/4-inch input, two trigger inputs, two footswitch ports, and an expression jack. You can even control other devices without any additional hardware, thanks to the 5-pin DIN MIDI output, while dual USB ports make memory expansion and PC connectivity a breeze.
