Akai MPC Live II Portable Music Production Workstation

Since the MPC Live II runs on batteries, you can start a project whenever inspiration strikes. The first MPC model with built-in monitors, allowing for immediate mix feedback. Then, for even more precise mixing functionality, you can connect full-sized studio speakers if you want to incorporate this into a larger studio setup.

This model's multi-core processor is the same one that was employed in the renowned and ground-breaking MPC X. The Akai MPC Live is effective at providing professional-level usability and has the ability to deliver perfect speeds. A vital source of visual feedback on every step of the music production process is the 7-inch touch screen. From the touchscreen, you can cut, edit, and sequence samples before performing with the 16 velocity-sensitive pads.
