Akai MPC Live II

Small, lightweight, yet a powerful standalone production machine. The Akai MPC Live II is ideal for working in the studio or on the go thanks to its built-in battery with up to 6 hours of runtime.

The Akai Professional MPC Live II features the same multi-core processor as the MPC X. Sequencing, editing or chopping samples becomes a breeze on the bright 7-inch touchscreen, while the proven 16 latest-generation MPC pads are dynamically responsive and offer full velocity and pressure sensitivity.

With MPC Live II, you'll be able to tackle any project. This versatile music production center features a wide variety of inputs and outputs. Internal and external MIDI routing across tracks make MPC Live II the perfect centerpiece for your MIDI-based studio.

Synthesizers, drum machines, sound modules and more can be controlled with the MPC Live II. Along with multi-track recording capability, you'll have everything you need to drive your next production.

With the new MPC, it's now also possible to record audio tracks right alongside your loops. Along the way, Akai Professional has also updated the Time Warp algorithm and improved the Q-Link control system. In addition, the MPC Live II's touchscreen makes the most of drag-and-drop MIDI and audio.

With 16 GB of internal memory, the MPC Live II gives you plenty of room for your sample collection. Furthermore, you can plug in a hard drive (HDD and SSD) via the 2.5" SATA port or insert an SD card or USB stick directly into the MPC Live II.

The MPC Live II was developed specifically for Ableton Live and is already factory-prepared for the software. So you can control Live's launch, mixer, and instrument macro controls wirelessly via Wi-Fi Ableton Link or via Ethernet using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter. The new Akai MPC is well equipped for cross-platform collaboration.
