Akai

Akai, a Japanese company, made their biggest impact with the MPC series of samplers. The MPC revolutionised hip hop, R&B, and beat-driven music. Modern Akai still make powerful MPC units that combine standalone hardware with DAW integration. They also produce popular controllers like the MPK series. If sampling and beatmaking is your world, Akai’s legacy and present-day gear are second to none.

Discover hardware sequencers for programming notes, chords, rhythms and control data across electronic instruments. Dedicated sequencers often control several devices while keeping hands-on timing and arrangement separate from a computer. Compare track count, pattern length, real-time and step recording, probability or generative tools, song modes, and MIDI, USB, CV or gate connections before choosing one.
