Korg MPS-10

The Korg MPS-10 is an advanced drum, percussion and sampler pad combining 10 responsive pads, an extensive sound library, sampling capabilities and a powerful 4-track looper in one compact and rugged unit. It is designed for drummers and percussionists looking to expand their creative possibilities both live and in the studio.

Featuring over 2,350 assignable instrument sounds, more than 3,000 high-quality samples and 77 effects, the MPS-10 offers an extensive sound library ranging from acoustic and electronic drums to classical percussion instruments, steelpan, loops and special effects. The top four pads can function as CC pads, detecting strike position to provide intuitive control over effect parameters.

The built-in sampler allows users to import their own WAV and AIFF files via USB flash drive and assign them to any pad. The 4-track looper features synchronised playback and allows each track to be exported individually as a WAV file.

The unit includes 100 preset kits and an additional 100 user kit slots for creating customised sound setups. Its effects section features master reverb, filter, two insert systems and a master system. The MPS-10 can also be connected to a computer via USB and edited using the web-based MPS-10 Editor.

The rugged construction features specially developed rubber pads with carefully balanced hardness, sensitivity and dynamics. A backlit colour display and three-colour LED pad indicators ensure convenient operation even in demanding stage environments.
