Immediate results with native kits

Your musical journey begins the moment you start playing the 10 pads through the 100 meticulously curated preset kits . You also gain access to a realm of infinite customization with the 100 available user kits , allowing you to create and customize your own original kits.

Sculpt your sound with built-in effects

Further enhance your sonic palette with preset reverb and filters, managed by two systems in insert and on the master, all under your command. Easily activate effects for each pad, precisely orchestrating the changes on your favorite sounds.

Smooth transitions, effortless control

Experiment with your creativity with Smooth Sound Transition (SST): after hitting a cymbal or a sample with a longer duration, this system ensures seamless kit changes. When you need to stop all sounds, simply use the SOUND OFF button with a simple press to mute everything the pad is playing.

The art of looping

Enjoy and be inspired by the incredibly flexible and powerful 4-track looper and dedicated effects, creating intricate loop phrases. With synchronized settings that ensure flawless playback between tracks and the ability to export each track as a WAV file, your creative possibilities will go far beyond your real-time performances.

Plus, discover the Round Robin Drums feature: even when the same sound is repeated (such as a snare drum crescendo or a fast hi-hat sound) different samples will be triggered, causing natural variations in otherwise static patterns, for a more realistic feel.

The Continuous Control Pad Revolution

The 4 pads arranged on the upper zone of the MPS-10 can be used as CC (Continuous Control) pads for intuitive control of effect parameters: from smooth filter changes, to EDM-inspired drum rolls with Note Delay and real-time tonal changes via the versatile MFX functions.

- FX Control (allows you to change the delay depth, with portamento effect on the value variation).

- Filter control (128 levels of control).

- Note Delay (controls the amount of delay).

- Transposition (transposition settings, chord changes, etc.)

Elevate your artistry to new heights with unprecedented control and expression.

Unleash your sound, unleash your creativity

The sampler function gives you more scope for creativity, allowing you to import user samples very easily. Integrate your favorite sounds by loading them into the MPS-10 from a USB flash drive and assign them to any pad. This even lets you replace portions of preset kits to add even more customization to your setup.

Readable display and bright colors

The color display is easy to read even under the brightest lights, and you can adjust the saturation within your preferences for greater visual clarity while playing. The three-color LEDs that illuminate each pad ensure confident performance even on the darkest stages, putting you at the center of the scene where you're playing.

Reveal your artistic ability with ease

Creating your signature kit is a breeze with the intuitive MPS-10 Editor web app . Connect the MPS-10 to your PC/MAC via USB and dive into a realm of endless creative possibilities as you shape your own unique, custom kits.

Expand your horizons by adding external triggers 

Complete your electronic setup by implementing up to 4 external triggers thanks to the dual-zone trigger inputs connected with a Y-cable, so you can add up to a total of 15 sounds per kit .

The latest technology, built to last

Developed by the design team that previously created the KORG WaveDrum, the MPS-10 is highly regarded by professional musicians for its feel and features, and offers a unique experience and design that sets it apart from the rest of electronic pads.

The material used for the pads is a high quality and durable rubber that has been perfected after the creation of several prototypes and the supervision of the most demanding professional musicians. We tried to achieve the right balance between hardness, sensitivity and dynamics to allow drummers and percussionists to express themselves in the most natural way possible.

The pad layout is designed to ensure proper configuration when integrated into a drum kit for comfortable use. While maintaining the standard size of the playing surface, it can hold up to 10 pads in a compact space.

Although it boasts a sleek appearance, it is built to last and has successfully passed extensive and rigorous testing, making it a professional-grade piece of equipment without compromising on robustness.
