The AKAI Professional MPC Live II is designed for music creators who thrive on inspiration, no matter where it strikes. This powerful, battery-powered drum machine and sampler is a complete standalone production unit, enabling you to craft your sound in any environment.
Immersive Music-Making Experience
For the first time, an MPC comes with a built-in stereo studio monitoring system. This unique dual tweeter-woofer design ensures impeccable sound clarity, allowing you to hear every detail of your production—from deep, rumbling 808s to crisp, silky high-end frequencies. When you’re ready to connect to external speakers, simply turn off the built-in monitors for a seamless transition.
Comprehensive Control
At the heart of the MPC Live II is a robust multi-core processor, the same powerhouse found in the renowned MPC X. This music production center features 16 velocity-sensitive RGB drum pads that provide the iconic MPC touch, perfect for sequencing, editing, and chopping samples. The vibrant 7-inch multi-touch display allows for intuitive navigation and control, while capacitive-touch encoders and five dedicated buttons facilitate essential editing functions for an optimized workflow.
Unleash Your Creativity
Built to withstand the rigors of any creative environment, the MPC Live II features a compact design and a long-lasting rechargeable Lithium-ION battery that offers up to 5 hours of playtime. This makes it a truly portable solution for music production on the go.
Wi-Fi Enabled for Enhanced Connectivity
With onboard Splice integration, you can effortlessly browse and audition samples directly from your Splice library via the touch interface. Additionally, the MPC Live II supports seamless control over Ableton Live’s clip launching, mixer, and instrument controls through Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection.
