Call to all producers! Akai Professional is hitting hard again, taking up the challenge of replacing its famous autonomous flagship, the MPC Live, with the brand new MPC Live II. Building on its phenomenally successful predecessor, this latest generation MPC incorporates a series of improvements designed to offer ever more control and mobility to producers and beatmakers, with in particular the integration of high quality studio monitors, the arrival of CV / Gate connectors and the addition of Multi MIDI functionality. A fully autonomous musical production Like the powerful MPC X and the compact MPC One, the MPC Live II is a fully-fledged music production station. Its very bright 7-inch multitouch touchscreen allows producers and beatmakers to access all the features necessary to create a beat from A to Z, and to select a kit and configure the 16 backlit multifunction pads sensitive to touch and velocity. The MPC Live II also has 5 new buttons to improve the editing workflow, such as Mute, Time Correct and Mix, allowing the artist to edit and modify his tracks in the blink of an eye. ! Always at the forefront with MPC Software The MPC Live II works in concert with the famous MPC Software, a unique software hardware ecosystem that allows users to benefit from the legendary MPC workflow. Recently updated to version 2.8, it brings to the MPC Live II the new Multi MIDI functionality, which allows producers to connect and route all of their studio MIDI equipment from the MPC. Able to control many external MIDI devices, such as drum machines or synthesizers, the MPC Live II is the heart of any production setup. An integrated monitoring system Great innovation of this new MPC, the integrated monitoring system literally transforms your MPC Live II into a small broadcasting system, allowing not only to have a set of reference monitoring speakers for the studio, but also to be able to share, create and collaborate during your nomadic sessions. These studio quality speakers have a dynamic frequency response covering the entire musical range, and meticulously reproduces the very detailed audio at high frequencies, while delivering precise bass.
