Akai Professional has a heritage dating back over 80 years, to the company founded by Saburo Akai in 1929. The professional division, founded in 1984, is devoted to providing artists with the tools to express their musical creativity and find new possibilities for their art. Along the way, Akai Pro has broken ground in many areas, developing products that have become industry icons, from the early S-series samplers of the '80s and '90s and the ground-breaking MG-1212 portable studio to today's MPC series of sampling production workstations and a full line of pad controllers, keyboards, recording interfaces and more. Now part of the InMusic family of music brands, along with Numark, Alesis, M-Audio, AIR Music Technology, Alto Professional, ION Audio, MixMeister, and Sonivox, Akai Professional continues to innovate engineering and manufacturing equipment aimed at making your musical life more productive.
