The Glorious 8-easeįew items of music technology, new or old, can rival the MPX8's ease of use. I'm sure you've seen them before this one will accommodate SD or SDHC cards of up to 32GB formatted to FAT32, which should be enough for most occasions. In terms of connectivity, there's only the SD slot left to mention. Incidentally, the USB port isn't one of those tight connections found on the latest MPCs and it should therefore be treated with a little respect (or a blob of Blu-Tac).

Power can be drawn from USB, providing it's a regular PC or Mac USB port, but in a computer-free environment,the same cable plugs into a conventional mains adapter and therefore covers pretty much all the bases except battery power. Computer-based users need simply connect the USB cable for bi-directional MIDI, positioning the MPX8 perfectly for on-the-move laptop work. The MIDI In and Out ports are slightly unconventional they're accessed via short 3.5mm adapter cables, as seen previously on Akai's MPC Studio. Lack of individual outputs is hardly unexpected at this 'cheap as chips' price. The MPX8 is constructed of light-but-rigid black plastic, with audio available from two balanced outputs at the side, plus there's a (minijack) headphone socket conveniently at the front. The 'selected' pad is simply the last one to be hit but, more importantly, it's the one whose parameters fill the display. When a sample is playing, the pad glows green and when 'selected', a brooding red. These are tastefully lit to reflect their status, so when a sample is loaded and ready to play, the colour is orange. Instead, it's a slim, dark and compact sample player delivering eight simultaneous samples from rubber pads that are both velocity and aftertouch sensitive. The concept is simple, the price lower than you'd expect and, in a short time, my biggest question changed from: 'could I use it for anything?' to 'why did nobody do this before?' Slim ShadyĪt a casual glance, the MPX8 could be the removable front panel from an unreleased Akai sampler. You can examine and remove what items aren’t compatible by clicking Expand to show the list in the Scene Converter (image attached), then making sure all elements are checked on, then clicking “Remove selected elements from scene.” You should see the resulting scene status change to “No invalid elements detected.Could Akai be on to a winner with their cheap and compact sample player?Īkai's MPX8 is a stylish sliver of hardware that combines drum pads with a potentially huge collection of samples stored on an SD card. These can be easily removed with the Scene Converter dialog that comes up when opening a given scene. Some older, no longer supported mental ray components may still be persistent in the scene upon opening Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2018 or Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2019. It shouldn’t affect the general working of the scene file. This is expected and a general dialog to give you an opportunity to save it as a new version.
You will encounter the “Obsolete Format” dialog upon opening.
Opening them in Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2018, 2019, and 2020 is perfectly safe. These files were created with Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2018.
