Def an interesting device. Could work really well with a 404sx.

I wonder what file structure it uses on the SD card? If it just browses folders for .wav files then it'd be dope to get your chops/resampled fx etc. together on the SX, take out the card, stick it in the MPX8, and then jam out with the velocity pads.

Akai's attempt at a new 21st Century MS1/SU10?
Depending on price and MIDI capability, I may well be interested in one to hook up to my MS1.

i don't know if this will be an attempt to those machines. You cannot edit samples without pc/mac with it, so...
after that we have to hear how does it sounds...
anyway, i don't understand still its eventual importance: it works also as a usb controller?

It's not a sampler. But looks to be an unlimited sample playback machine, USB, midi velocity sensitive, tune able?, portable and small ninja tool.

So so. The video made it look fairly useable but no banks, just eight sounds to a kit it looks like.
