General
Following in the footsteps of the well-known MPC Touch, Akai presents the MPC Live. This fully-independently functioning music production console has a beautiful 7-inch multi-touch display. It gives you ultimate control for making beats and arrangements thanks to controls that include 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads. The best thing about the MPC Live is that it's ideal for mobile productions because you don't need a PC to operate it, and it's powered by a rechargeable battery. Additionally, you can run the software as a plug-in in your DAW on both Mac and Windows systems.
MPC Live: Powerful hardware
The driving force of the MPC Live is a multi-core processor that is capable of distributing processes over various processing cores at a staggering rate. It also features 2 GB of internal (RAM) memory, making it the most powerful MPC system to date. Functions such as real-time, time-stretching, and pinching and grabbing samples are just the start of what you can do via the touch screen. You can also program the step sequencer, record, edit MIDI and audio data, and add effects.
I/O and integrated software
With the MPC Live, seamless integration for live and studio applications is easy. It features a number of high-grade connection options that include two MIDI inputs and outputs on the rear panel for things like synths, drum machines and sound modules. It also has two RCA inputs and a balanced jack connector. For connecting to external devices, this console is equipped with six jack balanced outputs. Lastly, the award-winning MPC Software (2.0) has been integrated into the MPC Live for carefree functionality in standalone mode.
