Akai MPC Studio Black

Produce anywhere – the world is your studio: MPC Studio Black is the ideal entry into the world of the MPC workflow. Build your beats with the legendary MPC pads like never before. Unleash your full creativity with the included MPC software and the 7 GB sample pack. With a height of under 3 cm, flat controls, and a brushed aluminum housing, the MPC Studio is designed for on-the-go use.

The complete integration of the MPC Studio with the MPC software brings you the unique workflow of an MPC and expands it with the nearly endless possibilities of modern computers.

MPC Studio features a backlit LCD display, 16 MPC pads, and other typical features that allow you to create complete productions directly from the hardware controller. Editing in the piano roll as well as track and audio editing can be easily done on the large computer screen. With additional features like a step sequencer with step programming, eight pad banks, and automatic parameter mapping, the MPC Studio is also ideal for live performances.

The included MPC software can be used as a full-fledged sequencer or as a plug-in in your DAW of choice. If you already own an older MPC, you can easily transfer your sounds to the new environment. The MPC software is fully backward compatible. All programs, sequences, and samples are recognized and played back directly. Unlike older MPCs, there are even eight pad banks available. The seamless integration of the MPC software into native environments opens up entirely new worlds when combined with DAWs and other plug-ins.
