Redefine rhythm, your control, and your performance.

A perfect blend of playability and functionality

An indispensable companion for drummers and percussionists venturing into electronic percussion, and the ultimate partner for artists and performers, the MPS-10 is a harmonious blend of playability and functionality. Whether you want to use it in the studio or for live performances, the MPS-10 is ready to meet all your needs with its range of useful and exciting features.

Unlimited soundscapes at your fingertips

With an extensive collection of 2,350 assignable instruments and over 3,000 high-quality samples, the KORG MPS-10 opens the door to limitless creativity. Enjoy a library of countless sounds ranging from dynamically expressive acoustic instruments with nuance control based on your stroke intensity, to essential electronic instrument sounds that will help you add a touch of modernity to your musical world. Furthermore, loops, effects sounds (suitable for game soundtracks, TV commercials, and movie trailers), melodic steelpan tones, and a variety of HIT/SFX sounds will lead you to explore countless other sonic paths.

Instant results with native kits

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

Sculpt your sound with integrated effects

Further enhance your sound range with predefined reverb and filters, manageable from two insert systems and on the master, all under your command. Easily activate effects for each pad, precisely orchestrating changes to your favorite timbres.

Smooth transitions, effortless control

Experience 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, use the SOUND OFF button with a simple press to mute everything the pad is playing.

The art of looping

Have fun and be 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.

Also 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.

The revolution of Continuous Control Pads

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

- FX Control (allows modifying delay depth, with a portamento effect on value variation).

- Filter Control (128 levels of control).

- Note Delay (controls the amount of delay).

- Transpose (transpose settings, chord changes, etc.)

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

Unleash your sound, free your creativity

The sampler function allows your creativity to flourish, enabling easy import of user samples. Integrate your favorite sounds by loading them into the MPS-10 from a USB flash drive and assign them to any pad. This will even allow you to replace only portions of preset kits, adding further customization to your setup.

Readable display and vibrant colors

The color display is easy to read even under the brightest lights; adjust the saturation within the preferences for greater visual clarity during use. The three-color LEDs illuminating each pad ensure confident performance even on the darkest stages and will put you at the center of the scene you're playing on.

Unleash your artistry 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 unique and personalized 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 praised by professional musicians for its feel and features, offering a unique experience and design that sets it apart from other electronic pads.

The material used for the pads is a high-quality, durable rubber that has been perfected after the creation of various prototypes and the supervision of the most demanding professional musicians. 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.

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.

Although it boasts an elegant appearance, it is designed for durability and has successfully passed extensive and rigorous testing, making it professional-grade equipment without compromising robustness.
