Akai Professional MPC Studio

Akai Professional MPC Studio is a music production controller that includes AKAI MPC software and a complete MPC system.

With intuitive hardware controls and innovative software, MPC Studio brings the full MPC experience to your computer. Load a loop from the library, break it up into samples, create a beat, then layer instruments over it to create rich melodic textures. Add insert effects to develop your song structure and arrangement, or create drops and transitions. MPC Studio keeps your creativity flowing.

Pad performance is the top priority for any beat maker. With MPC Studio, you can be sure that every beat and every note will always hit the mark. Velocity-sensitive RGB pads deliver maximum expressiveness, from smooth melodies to thunderous kick drums. Color-illuminated feedback helps you keep track of velocities and pad groupings. Switch from note mode to chord mode and build out your tracks as inspiration strikes.

Create your own unique sounds with the assignable touch strip. This fluid controller changes and shapes your sound just the way you want it. Swell a pad synth to create a mysterious sound, control hi-hat rolls to pad your trap drumbeat, or make a guitar part sound more realistic by articulating the string attack. Assign any number of knobs, sliders or parameters to the Touch Strip and manipulate a track in new and original ways. Add dynamic real-time touch strip effects for the ultimate in live production and performance.

While you're in the creative flow, the color display helps you keep your hands on the MPC Studio and your focus on the music. Whether you're trimming a waveform, browsing instruments, samples and plug-in presets, or changing parameters, the screen gives you important visual feedback at a glance without having to interrupt your workflow and reach for your laptop. When it comes to musical efficiency, every moment is critical, and every hand movement helps you realize your ideas and finish your songs faster.

Akai MPC Studio includes an expanded palette of sounds, instruments, drum samples, loops, insert effects and more to fuel your creativity and help you complete any music project. With more than 100 instruments and effect plug-ins in total, MPC Studio easily handles any style of music with a rich, inspiring sound. The insert effects for modern beats were contributed by the award-winning developers at AIR Music Tech and offer powerful tools for editing, arranging and mixing, including the AIR Vocal Suite. The Vocal Suite enables the creation, recording and mixing of perfect vocal elements and allows pitch correction, harmonization and saturation of vocals and audio tracks with AIR Doubler.
