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.

Case

A case is a protective enclosure designed to store and transport synthesisers, keyboards, drum machines, and related equipment. Cases are built to shield instruments from impact, dust, and moisture, and may be soft gig bags for lighter protection or rigid hard cases for touring and frequent travel. They are essential for keeping equipment safe while moving between studios, rehearsal spaces, and live venues.

MPC

MPC is a standalone music production instrument that combines sampling, sequencing, and performance control in a single unit, originally developed by Akai. It is used to record and manipulate samples, program beats, and build full arrangements using pads, a sequencer, and onboard processing. For example, an MPC might be used to sample drum hits and musical phrases, sequence them into a rhythm, and layer additional parts to create a complete track without needing a computer.
