Akai MPC Live and MPC X

Akai Professional

collapse expand iconDescription

The centerpiece of the MPC Live is a full-color 7 in. multi-touch screen that puts complete creative control at your fingertips. Simple gestures become complex polyrhythmic drum patterns and sophisticated effects automation can be crafted faster and with greater precision than ever. The MPC Live features 16, velocity and pressure-sensitive RGB pads, perfect for getting the full expressive range out of your kits. Its feel is legendary and has been at the heart of digital music production for decades now. But if you haven’t programmed an MPC lately, you’re missing out on an interface whose range of expression is unmatched.
