Akai MPC LIVE

A modern classic. The MPC Live takes the immersive production workflow and game-altering performance breakthroughs introduced by the MPC Touch and adds battery-powered standalone functionality. Natively powered by the revamped performance and production functionality of MPC 2.0 Software, the MPC Live empowers you with unmatched portable production capability for total-command of the studio and stage.

Core Control in High Definition

At the heart of the MPC Live is a radiant, full colour 7” multi-touch capacitive screen. Editing MIDI events, applying effects, step sequencing, arranging, sampling and much more has never been this intuitive.

The MPC Live’s unmatched versatility conquers the dividing line between production and performance. Fusing a road-tested compact footprint, full-featured creative capability and an on-board rechargeable Lithium-ION battery, MPC Live presents a refined workflow that inspires immediate creative results whist seamlessly revolutionising the create anywhere philosophy.

MPC Mainstays

With the MPC Live, critical in-demand MPC functionality is available, surgically positioned with one goal in mind – ease of use and no-nonsense workflow enhancement. 4 touch sensitive controls and a large data encoder seamlessly map to critical parameters. 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RBG pads grant uncompromised response for full expressive range. MPC mainstays including Note Repeat, Full Level, 16 Levels and dedicated transport controls complete the MPC Live’s arsenal of control options, providing core performance and production functionality.

Connectivity Covered

Whether your seeking a ultra-reliable performance centrepiece or a production-centric powerhouse, the MPC Live assimilates seamlessly into existing setups courtesy of a plethora of conveniently located inputs and outputs. 6 balanced outputs connect to monitors, recording devices, mixers and more. RCA inputs with a dedicated ground accommodate turntables for unlimited sampling potential while two ¼-inch balanced inputs cater for mixer signals, synthesisers, drum machines and more. Monitor you mixes privately with the MPC Live’s on-board headphone output and take command of all your MIDI compatible devices with the MPC Live’s 1-in / 1-out MIDI interface.
