The heart of the MPC X is a 10.1' touch screen, accompanied by 16 touch-sensitive pads and 16 endless rotary encoders, each with its own OLED display.Īnd we're just getting started. Wow! It's great to see this unit on a hi-res 'official' photo, rather than the grainy phone snap we previously had. Update: AKAI's official webpage is now also accessible with more details and images. We picked up rumours of both products in mid-December, but now it looks the info we had was pretty much spot on. The cat's out of the bag! First, US retailer Sweetwater went live with its product pages for two big new AKAI Professional units: MPC X and MPC Live. It's (finally) official: AKAI to launch MPC X and MPC LiveĪKAI Professional MPC X: 10.1' touch screen, 16 encoders and pads ĪKAI MPC X workstation rear panel: A lot of I/O available here ĪKAI Professional MPC Live: 16 pads, MPC 2.0 software and 7' screen ĪKAI Professional's new MPC Live can run on batteries The smaller MPC-Live $1000 and battery powered works with Tripelplay too - but it lacks several features of the MPC-X ( No Hi-Z Guitar input, No CV/Gate Output)īut both versions allow adding an internal SATA Drive - many install a 1TB SSD to hold all their audio / backing tracks / sample loops Street price for MPC X is $1850 if you shop around - (Call your order in) Had heart failure when I looked up the $2,199 price.
