MIDI Controller Akai MPC Studio

MIDI Controller Akai MPC Studio combines intuitive hardware controls with powerful software that inspires you to create music in a continuous flow. Load loops, break them into samples, layer beats and instruments, add effects and build arrangements - all in a single system that turns ideas into finished tracks.

Premium pads for the perfect production

The quality of the pads is the key to precise rhythm. Responsive RGB pads allow for maximum expression: from gentle melodies to powerful drums. Color visualization helps you track velocity and grouping, and quickly switching between Note and Chord modes allows you to create tracks in a moment of inspiration.

Color screen for quick feedback

The bright display provides instant visualization of the process, whether you're trimming waves, browsing your plug-in library or adjusting parameters. This allows you to focus on the music without looking away from the controller and work as efficiently as possible.

Touch Strip — Opens Up New Opportunities for Creativity

The touch strip controller lets you shape your sound the way you want it: control the movement of hi-hats, add effects to synths, or articulate guitar parts. The Touch Strip can be assigned to any parameter, creating unique manipulations of your tracks.

World-class plug-ins and effects

MPC 2 Desktop software includes an extensive library of instruments, samples, loops, and effects. Over 100 instrument and effect plug-ins, including the AIR Vocal Suite, let you create, record, and mix vocals with pitch correction, harmony, and saturation.
