Akai MPC Live III - Standalone Music Production Center / Software Hybrid with MPCe Pad Technology

SKU:
MPC-LIVEIII
Condition:
New

We built MPC Live III for producers who move fast. It’s packed with dynamic production tools, responsive controls, sounds designed by the industry’s top sample makers, and the fastest processor of any MPC to date. From basic beatmaking to advanced music production and the most demanding live-performance workflows, MPC Live III redefines the power of standalone.

 

AN ICON EVOLVES

MPC has been at the heart of modern music—powering iconic records, shaping genres, and defining the sound of a generation. We’ve listened closely to the creators behind that legacy, taking in what you need to stay inspired and keep creating.

MPC Live III is the result: a genre-defying, boundary-breaking production machine built for wherever music takes you. It honors the past, drives the present, and empowers you to shape what’s next.

Unbelievably Fast, Undeniably Slick

Powered by the fastest processor we’ve ever put in an MPC, this complete standalone system gives you all the production, mixing, and performance capabilities you expect from next-gen Akai Pro hardware, while unlocking the full potential of the MPC3 operating system.

Experience dynamic features like Pro Stems Separation and the ability to load up to 32 instrument plugin instances and 16 audio tracks seamlessly. This is creative horsepower without bottlenecks—it’s your flow, uninterrupted.

Expanded Workflow for the Perfect Drop

For the first time ever in an MPC, clip launching, step sequencing, and assignable performance buttons empower new ways of working—beyond the classic production toolkit. Trigger clips that land on the one. Lock in basslines and grooves that form the backbone of electronic styles.

Whether you're building a live set or dialing in the perfect drop, this MPC is for modern performance.
