The MPC Studio II, inheritor of the venerable MPC Studio that has influenced a whole generation of producers and beatmakers, offers the legendary MPC workflow in a modernized format. With the integration of MPC 2 Desktop Software and a complete set of instrumental plug-ins, this new version offers advanced features at an unprecedented price for a MPC. Since the introduction of MPC 60 in the late 1980s, Akai Professional's MPC series has revolutionized musical production through its innovative and intuitive approach. The MPC Studio II perpetuates this tradition with refined lines and revised capacities to meet the needs of contemporary producers.
At the heart of the MPC Studio II are 16 RVB backlit pads, which are sensitive to pressure and velocity, which are also used in MPC Live and MPC X models. These multifunction pads allow to create subtle melodies or percuting rhythms with exceptional precision. In addition, the MPC Studio II is equipped with a new programmable touch ribbon, ideal for adding expressiveness to your performance. Whether you want to modulate string instruments, adjust the pitch of a synthesizer or control the Repeat Note for charleys, this touch ribbon offers increased control. In addition, the new color LCD display provides a clear and dynamic visual feedback, further improving user experience.
The MPC Studio II fits perfectly with the MPC 2 Desktop Software for Mac and PC, which is the core of this controller. This DAW offers the famous workflow MPC and essential features such as accurate audio sampling, MPC groove, swing and quantification, as well as professional MIDI sequencing. In addition to running as a VST plugin in any host DAW, the MPC Software comes with an impressive assortment of plug-ins and effects. The MPC Studio II includes 8 instruments plug-ins offering various sounds, as well as the AIR Vocal Insert Effects plug-ins collection for effective vocal treatment. With these tools, the MPC Studio II is positioned as an ideal controller to drive virtual instruments, enrich your productions and maximize your musical creativity.
