Whether you want to use it in the studio or during live performances, the MPS-10 is ready to meet all your needs with its range of useful and interesting features.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Unlimited Soundscapes at Your Fingertips</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">With a vast collection of <strong>2,350 assignable instruments</strong> and over <strong>3,000 high-quality samples</strong>, <strong>KORG MPS-10</strong> opens the door to limitless creativity. Enjoy a library of countless sounds ranging from dynamically expressive acoustic instruments with nuance control based on your strike intensity, to essential electronic instrument sounds that will help you add a modern touch to your musical world. Furthermore, loops, effects sounds (suitable for game soundtracks, TV commercials, and film trailers), melodic steelpan tones, and a variety of HIT/SFX sounds will lead you to explore endless other sonic paths.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Immediate Results with Native Kits</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Your musical journey begins the moment you start playing the <strong>10 pads</strong> through the meticulously crafted <strong>100 preset kits</strong>. Additionally, you can access a realm of infinite customizations with the <strong>100 user kits</strong> available, allowing you to create and customize your original kits.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sculpt Your Sound with Built-in Effects</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Further enhance your sonic range with built-in reverb and filters, controllable via two insert and master systems, all under your command. Easily activate effects for each pad, precisely orchestrating changes to your favorite timbres.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Smooth Transitions, Effortless Control</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Experience your creativity with Smooth Sound Transition (SST): after striking a cymbal or a sample with a longer duration, this system ensures seamless changes between kits. When you need to stop all sounds, use the SOUND OFF button with a simple press to mute everything the pad is playing.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Art of Looping</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Have fun and get inspired by the incredibly flexible and powerful 4-track looper, and with dedicated effects, creating intricate loop phrases. With synchronized settings that ensure impeccable 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.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Furthermore, discover the Round Robin Drums function: even when the same sound is repeated (such as a snare drum crescendo or a fast hi-hat sound), different samples will be triggered, resulting in natural variations in otherwise static patterns, for a more realistic feel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="https://algameko.com/images/uploads/korg-mps-10-con-looper-a-4-tracce-flessibile-e-potente.jpg" title="Create looped phrases with the integrated looper and export your customized tracks in WAV format."></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Revolution of Continuous Control Pads</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The 4 pads located on the upper area of the MPS-10 can be used as <strong>CC (Continuous Control) pads</strong> for intuitive control of effect parameters: from gradual filter changes, to EDM-inspired drum rolls with Note Delay, and real-time tonal shifts through the versatile MFX functions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- <strong>FX Control</strong> (allows you to modify delay depth, with portamento effect on value variation).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- <strong>Filter Control</strong> (128 levels of control).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- <strong>Note Delay</strong> (controls the amount of delay).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">- <strong>Transpose</strong> (transpose settings, chord changes, etc.)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Elevate your artistry to new levels with unprecedented control and expression.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Unleash Your Sound, Free Your Creativity</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The sampler function gives space to your creativity, allowing for very easy import of user samples. Integrate your favorite sounds by loading them into the MPS-10 from a <strong>USB flash drive</strong> and assign them to any pad. This will even allow you to replace only portions of preset kits, adding further customizations to your setup.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Readable Display and Bright Colors</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The color display is easy to read even in the brightest lights; adjust the saturation within the preferences for greater visual clarity during use. The three-color LEDs that illuminate each pad ensure reliable performance even on the darkest stages and will put you at the center of the scene you are playing on.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Unveil Your Artistry with Ease</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Creating your <strong>signature kit</strong> is a breeze with the intuitive <strong>Web app MPS-10 Editor</strong>.

The aim was to achieve the right balance between hardness, sensitivity, and dynamics to allow drummers and percussionists to express themselves as naturally as possible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The pad layout is designed to ensure proper configuration when integrated into a drum kit for comfortable use. While maintaining the standard playable surface size, it can accommodate up to 10 pads in a compact space.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Although it boasts an elegant appearance, it is built to last and has successfully passed extensive and rigorous tests, making it professional-grade equipment without compromising on robustness.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="https://algameko.com/images/uploads/korg-mps-10-pad-elettronico-da-integrare-al-tuo-set-in-studio-o-dal-vivo.jpg" title="Korg MPS-10 is designed for drummers, percussionists, and performers venturing into the world of electronic percussion."></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><a id="aggiornamento-software-v2-0-13" name="aggiornamento-software-v2-0-13"></a>Software Update <strong>MPS-10 V2.0</strong></h2><h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://cdn.korg.com/us/support/download/files/9ef6b0125115f748bac17b3c835cf173.zip?response-content-disposition=attachment%3Bfilename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27MPS-10_System_V2_0.zip&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream%3B"><u><strong>Download MPS-10 v2.0 Software</strong></u></a></h2><h3 style="text-align: justify;">New features and modifications introduced in operating system 2.0 for MPS-10.</h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>KIT</strong></h3><h3><strong>PAD Overview Page</strong></h3><p>A <strong>PAD overview page</strong> has been added to the homepage.
