OVERALL OPINION

-1 Months
-Any A bunch of samplers of all sizes (racks and table top).
-I Chose to buy it for a very simple reason: the MPX16 has no equivalent at this price. Indeed the MPX8 seemed very limited, and no manufacturer has thought of making a sampler / SD reader as simple and complete at this price.
Since the S20, for me there was a lack in this area.

- The pros: the pads, the strength of the bike, sound fidelity, full connectivity (you can sample directly, unlike MPX8!), And price.
-The -: Somewhat successful firmware that sometimes causes bugs (especially using the editor Akai, unnecessary and not so good) but Akai is trying to correct the situation (he did for MPX8 ..).

-Even though I complained a bit on the Akai site for firmware problems (which are far from making the machine unusable), I'm pretty happy with the MPX16: it is a fairly easy to use stand-alone machine, and which fulfills its purpose.

-Report Quality unbeatable price for me.

-I do not necessarily go that choice because I think my config will evolve into modular (!), but it has nothing to do with the quality of this machine).
