AKAI Professional MPC One - Drum Machine, Sampler & MIDI Controller

The MPC One, a Music Production Center engineered to enrich your workflow and create the ultimate standalone music production experience, offers a full MPC experience. From the bedroom beat maker to the studio music producer, this compact standalone desktop unit features the same power as the MPC X, skillfully combined into a device that easily handles the most demanding tasks.

Equipped with a bright 7" touch screen color display, the MPC One allows you to edit and chop samples with hand gestures, expressing your ideas effortlessly and directly with the dedicated knobs and touch keys that eliminate cumbersome drop-down menus. Four touch-sensitive knobs and a large data encoder seamlessly map to critical parameters, while sixteen velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB beat pads deliver perfect response for full expressive range. MPC mainstays including Note Repeat, Full Level, 16 Levels, and dedicated Transport Controls complete the MPC One's arsenal of control options, providing complete production capability.

Ready to work with your current music studio equipment, the MPC One will grow with you as your needs expand. Connect your USB MIDI keyboard controller (like the MPK Mini MKII) or line-level ¼-inch instruments, and control your MIDI devices (including synthesizers and drum machines) and your CV/Gate modules & racks. With no need to worry about interconnectivity, the MPC One is ready to work right alongside professional music production gear.

Akai Professional's reimagined MPC 2 Software drives the MPC One in both standalone and MIDI controller modes, providing a cutting-edge music production suite. Combining 128-track sequencing capability, real-time time stretching, clip-launch functionality, advanced MIDI editing capability, VST compatibility in controller mode, operation as a standalone application on Mac & PC, advanced sampling & audio editing/recording functionality, seamless DAW integration, and a redesigned GUI, the MPC 2 Software offers a comprehensive set of tools for the modern music producer.

From rich melodics and hard-hitting drums to the most infectious grooves, the MPC One is a beat maker's essential tool, functioning as a standalone MPC, sampler, drum machine, and MIDI controller (for the included MPC Software – Mac/PC). Developed for the modern music producer, it features 16 velocity-sensitive RGB beat pads, a 7" high-resolution multi-touch display, touch-capacitive encoders, and connectivity for USB MIDI keyboard controllers, as well as MIDI In/Out for control of synthesizers and drum machines, (2) line inputs for recording/sampling, (2) line outputs, headphone out, and CV/Gate outputs for modular synth control.

With a custom sample & loop library, exclusive standalone synth engines (Electric, Tubesynth, and Bassline), premium Air FX for mixing & mastering, and network access for Splice integration, the MPC One provides on-demand sound and the complete MPC experience in a compact desktop format, complete with a built-in USB audio interface, USB slots for thumb drives, and an SD card slot.
