Editing Kits
You can edit the parameters of each Kit, including the samples assigned to the pads and the
tuning, trigger type, panning, etc. for each pad.
To assign a sample to a pad:
1. Select a Kit (as described in the previous Selecting Kits section).
2. Press the pad you want to assign a sample to. It will light up red, and the name of the
sample currently assigned to it (if any) will appear in the display.
3. Select the Location field (LOC) by using the Select +/
buttons.
4. Use the Data Dial to select where your desired sample is located: MPX8's internal memory
(INT) or an inserted SD card (CARD). If you are using your own samples on an SD card,
please see the important Using Your Own Samples section below.
5. Select the sample name field by using the Select +/
buttons.
6. Use the Data Dial to select the desired sample. When the desired sample name is shown,
wait a few seconds—the sample will load automatically.
IMPORTANT! Your Kit (including its pad assignments, parameters, etc.) will not be saved
automatically! To save it, please see the Saving Kits section of this manual.
Using Your Own Samples
You can use MPX8 to trigger your own samples instead of the ones in MPX8's internal
sample library.
To do this, load the sample files onto an SD card (not included) using one of the following:
A standard SD card reader.
The MPX8 Editor, downloadable for free at www.akaipro.com/mpx8. Instructions
for using the editor are included with the download.
Please note the following:
The samples files must be 16-bit, mono WAVs. They can have a sample rate of 48,
44.1, 32, 22.05, or 11.205 KHz.
The sample files must be located in the root (main) directory of the card and not in
any subdirectories.
You can use an SD card or SDHC card with a capacity up to 32 GB.
We recommend formatting your SD card to a FAT32 file system (if it is not already)
and naming your sample files according to this format. This means:
o Do not use any of these characters: " * / \ : < > ? |
o Do not use spaces.
o Limit your file name to 8 characters, if possible.
o Up to 512 files can be stored in the root directory of the card.
You can assign up to 30 MB's worth of samples onto MPX8's pads at a time (the
sample library on your SD card can be larger, of course). Also, please note that a
sample's size will be rounded up when loaded (e.g., a 2.1 MB sample on the SD
card will be treated as a 3 MB sample when it is assigned to a pad).
