Akai Professional marks a new stage with the MPC Live II, successor of the famous MPC Live. This new stand-alone device is distinguished by its many improvements, designed to give producers and beatmakers greater control and mobility. These include high-quality integrated studio monitors, CV/Gate connectors and Multi MIDI functionality, making this production station even more versatile and powerful.
The MPC Live II is a complete and autonomous musical production station, like the MPC X and MPC One models. Its 7-inch multitouch touch screen allows intuitive navigation and easy access to all the features necessary for musical creation. The 16 backlit pads, sensitive to pressure and velocity, as well as the five new editing buttons (Mute, Time Correct, Mix), improve the workflow by allowing rapid and effective modification of the tracks. In addition, the MPC software, updated in version 2.8, brings a new dimension with the Multi MIDI feature, allowing you to connect and control all MIDI equipment directly from the MPC Live II.
One of the major innovations of the MPC Live II is its integrated monitoring system, which transforms the device into a real portable diffusion system. The built-in speakers offer high-quality sound reproduction, covering the entire frequency range and ensuring precise bass and detailed acutes. This feature, combined with a rechargeable battery offering up to five hours of autonomy, makes MPC Live II an ideal tool for nomadic sessions. Finally, with its 16GB of high-quality samples and loops, and advanced features such as MPC Stems, allowing to isolate and manipulate the various components of a recording, the MPC Live II proves to be an essential instrument for producers seeking to push back the limits of their musical creativity.
