Building upon the success of the MPC X and MPC Live, the Akai Professional MPC One is a complete standalone music production workstation well suited for producers, beatmakers, drummers, electronic musicians and more. The compact MPC One features an integrated sampler, sequencer, 7″ touchscreen, 16 velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit pads and four endless encoder Q-Link controls. Included as standard are network connectivity and Splice integration, so producers can access the sounds they need.

The MPC One incorporates the same powerful quad-core ARM Cortex processor as the MPC X, along with 2GB of RAM, and 4GB of storage to power the MPC 2.0 software without the need to connect to a host computer. The unit can operate in Control Mode, which further expands the functionality by connecting to a computer, allowing you to operate the same MPC 2.0 standalone software as a plugin in your favorite DAW. The MPC 2.0 software has added some powerful features including audio track recording, real-time time-stretching (audio warping), pitch-shifting, audio and MIDI drag-and-drop, clip program mode for clip-launching, an updated mixer layout with advanced signal routing and enhanced Q-Link control.

The MPC One comes loaded with 2GB of new drum sample & loop collections, curated specifically for this new hardware, delivering a library full of hard-hitting, dynamic drum sounds, sure to impress the most demanding creators. Also included are the signature synth engines Electric, Tubesynth and Bassline, as well as the world-class AIR FX for mixing and mastering. Content can easily be uploaded and/or recorded to the full-sized SD card or USB thumb drives.
