Drum, Percussion & Sampler Pad - KORG MPS-10

The MPS-10 is the next major step in KORG's development of electronic drum products. Carefully engineered to be both robust and refined, the MPS-10 meets the diverse and increasing demands of drummers and percussionists, offering new and creative ways to perform that have never been possible before.

Immerse yourself in a world of sonic possibilities with the 10 pads, either via the built-in sounds that defy all expectations, a versatile sampler, 4 groundbreaking CC pads and a powerful new 4-track looper – all beautifully integrated into an ergonomic and robust package. Expand the possibilities via the external trigger IN, full footswitch compatibility and an expression input.

Unlimited soundscapes at your fingertips

With a comprehensive collection of 2,350 assignable instruments (INST pads) and over 3,000 high-quality samples at your disposal, the MPS-10 kicks open the doors to limitless creativity. Dive into a Marianas-deep library of cool, usable sounds, ranging from dynamically expressive instrument sounds with nuanced variations based on velocity, to the essential electric instrument sounds that are an integral part of modern drumming and production.

Classical percussionists will be delighted by the inclusion of congas, bongos and more, while acoustic percussion enthusiasts will find a comprehensive selection of useful, dynamic and authentic sounds. The looped phrases, impactful sounds for games, TV spots and movie trailers, fascinating melodic Steel Pans and a range of HIT/SFX sounds scream for exploration and creativity.

Instant results with Preset Kits

100 carefully selected kits, each comprising 10 INST pads, are ready for you the moment you turn on the MPS-10. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how even your fingers can control the pads with exceptional dynamic precision. You can customize or build your own kits from scratch and store them in 100 user KIT slots.

Enhance your soundscape with unparalleled control. Spice up your kits with global reverb and filter, flanked by two insert effects and a Mastering effect, to suit your needs and style. Easily switch between effects for each pad and orchestrate intricate effect settings with precision.

The master of the loop

With the incredibly flexible and powerful 4-track looper and dedicated looper effects, you can take your creativity to the next level. Everything instantly syncs to the selected tempo, ensuring flawless playback across tracks, and the ability to export each track as a WAV file makes it possible to further work on your ideas in your DAW, or collaborate with other musicians.

Innovative CC Pads

The top 4 pads on the MPS-10 can, in addition to the standard MIDI Note On, also be assigned MIDI CC numbers that detect the hit position with incredible precision. This allows for intuitive control of effect parameters or other MIDI parameters. Dive into gradual filtering, EDM-inspired drum fills with Note Delay or real-time tonal transformations via the versatile MFX functions. Take your drumming to new heights with unprecedented control and expression.

The sampler function allows for effortless import of user samples. Seamlessly integrate your favorite sounds from a USB flash drive into the MPS-10, assign them to any pad, and build your own combo kits of built-in and imported sounds.

Crystal clear visual feedback

Real-time manipulation and experimentation are at the heart of the super-precise full-color display, which is easy to read even in the brightest ambient light. You can even customize the color saturation to your preference. Navigate effortlessly via the tri-color LEDs that illuminate each Pad (Preset Sound, Sample, Loop).

Programming your kit becomes a breeze with the MPS-10 Editor, an easy-to-use web app that comes free with the MPS-10. Connect the MPS-10 to your PC via USB and dive into a world of endless creative possibilities as you shape your own unique kits.

The latest technology, built to last

Developed by the design team behind the WaveDrum and Pearl e/MERGE, both of which are highly praised by professional musicians for their responsiveness and performance, the MPS-10 delivers the ultimate drum pad experience with a unique pad design that makes it all its own.

In pursuit of the best possible combination of durability and performance, KORG has formulated a high-quality rubber material, perfected through multiple prototypes in collaboration with demanding professional musicians. KORG has strived to achieve the right balance of hardness, sensitivity, and dynamics to enable drummers and percussionists to express themselves naturally.

The pad layout is designed to be ergonomic, whether you need a percussion, effects or drum kit layout. The dimensions are designed to fit into an acoustic drum kit. The design also means that you get a whopping 10 pads, 4 "wood block style" and 6 standard full-size pads. The MPD-10 is built to withstand the rigors of the road and has successfully passed extensive and rigorous testing, making it a piece of professional-grade equipment without compromising on quality.
