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.
Kensington and the K & Lock logo are registered trademarks of ACCO Brands.
