Akai has done a fantastic job packing this little guy with all sorts of features that enhance workflow and open up a nice array of options for live performance – hence the name, MPC Live.įirst, let me mention some of the specs: 16 velocity and pressure sensitive pads eight different pad banks four Q-Link knobs and columns 2 GB of RAM and a 16 GB internal drive. Don’t let its small stature fool you at all. Weighing in at 5.9 pounds, the MPC Live is a powerhouse. We all know the MPC’s huge influence in pop, urban and electronic music over the last generation, and the legacy will most certainly continue with these two new offerings. So, after some consideration, I opted for the MPC Live because of its smaller size and portability. It certainly seemed like Akai Pro’s parent company, the Cumberland, R.I.-based inMusic, had a couple of hot new products that updated the legendary MPC line of production tools. At the beginning of the year when I first saw the promotional videos for the MPC X and MPC Live, both of which Akai Professional debuted at the Winter NAMM show this past January, I knew that I had to review one of them.
