The unit also features controls that exhibit the familiar, traditional MPC feel, such as a transport setup for playback and recording, a set of four touch-sensitive knobs, a Data Encoder knob for push-and-twist control of various parameters, and a full complement of 16 velocity-sensitive MPC pads (all fully assignable).
The ability to grab and pinch waveforms, draw MIDI events, adjust envelopes, chop samples, add effects, and precisely set controls is all made possible by its full-color display-and the application of your fingertips. Featuring a 7' multi-touch screen, the MPC Touch from Akai is a MIDI controller for music production that builds upon classic MPC design by providing you with new display-based touch-and-tap options.
