Abstract
The project consists of engineering an electronic musical sampler from scratch. The work combines hardware development with the implementation of dedicated software, creating a machine equipped with pressure-sensitive pads for managing audio samples, inspired by the history of hip-hop music. This experience, balancing hobby and education, has provided solid technical skills and is conceived to be constantly updated and perfected.

Questions
How big is the MPCBoard PCB?
It measures 145 × 95 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.41 mm thick.
What parts does the MPCBoard use?
118 parts, built around the PCA9535AHF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the MPCBoard KiCad files?
From the Tyger375/Sampler repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware (kicad)/MPCBoard/MPCBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware (kicad)/MPCBoard/MPCBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MPCBoard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Tyger375 before reusing the design.
