Akai MPC One G2 – Standalone Music Production Workstation with Touchscreen, Eight-Core Processor and MPC3 Workflow
The Akai MPC One G2 is a next-generation standalone music production workstation designed to deliver complete music creation without the need for a computer. Building on one of the most iconic product lines in beatmaking history, it combines the legendary velocity- and pressure-sensitive MPC pads, a 7-inch full-color touchscreen, and significantly enhanced processing power to provide a fast, fluid, and fully standalone production experience.
Inspired by the iconic blue finishes of the legendary MPC4000 and MPC1000, the Akai MPC One G2 features an instantly recognizable design while benefiting from a modern hardware architecture. Its new eight-core processor delivers up to four times the processing power of the previous generation, allowing users to handle larger projects, more virtual instruments, and complete song arrangements without slowing down.
Designed for modern music production, the Akai MPC One G2 supports up to 16 stereo audio tracks and up to 32 simultaneous virtual instruments within a single project. Thanks to the MPC3 operating system and its new DAW-inspired linear arranger, users can compose, record, edit, mix, and finalize complete productions directly on the hardware.
The next-generation USB-C connectivity provides 24-input / 24-output multichannel audio streaming, expanded MIDI control, and peripheral connectivity through a single cable. Compatible with Ableton Live Control Mode, Ableton project import/export, and modern hybrid production environments, the MPC One G2 integrates seamlessly into both computer-based studios and fully standalone setups.
With its advanced sampling capabilities, the Akai MPC One G2 can quickly capture sounds from smartphones, tablets, synthesizers, drum machines, and other external devices. Its generous internal storage, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, CV/Gate outputs, and MIDI ports make it a true production hub for demanding producers, beatmakers, composers, and electronic musicians.
