Akai Professional MPC Studio

New Generation of the MPC for Modern Music Creators!

Akai’s MPC Studio redefines tactile control with hardware that enables modern and deep control over music production. Together with the MPC2 desktop software DAW for Mac and PC, MPC Studio offers a complete production package for professional beatmakers and music producers.

MPC Studio brings the full MPC experience to your computer, thanks to intuitive hardware control and innovative, inspiring software. Load a loop from the library, chop it into samples, create a beat, then layer instruments on top to craft rich melodic textures. Add insert effects to develop your song structure and arrangement or create drops and transitions. With MPC Studio, your creativity always stays in flow.

Premium Pads for Perfect Production

Pad performance is the top priority for every beatmaker. With MPC Studio, you can be sure every beat and note hits the mark. Velocity-sensitive RGB pads deliver maximum expressiveness, whether for gentle melodies or thunderous kick drums. Color-lit feedback helps you keep track of velocities and pad groupings. Switch from note mode to chord mode and build your tracks as inspiration strikes.

Assignable Touch Strip

Create your own distinctive sounds with the assignable touch strip. This fluid controller changes and shapes your sound exactly how you want. Swell a pad synth to create a mysterious tone, control hi-hat rolls to beef up your trap drum beat, or make a guitar part sound more realistic by articulating string attack. Assign as many of the numerous knobs, faders, or parameters as you like to the touch strip and manipulate a track in new and original ways. Add dynamic touch strip real-time effects for the ultimate live production and performance.

Color Display for Dynamic Feedback

While you’re deep in the creative flow, the color display helps you keep your hands on the MPC Studio and your focus fully on the music. Whether trimming a waveform, browsing instruments, samples, and plugin presets, or adjusting parameters, the screen delivers vital visual feedback at a glance without interrupting your workflow or reaching for your laptop. When it comes to musical efficiency, every moment counts, and every hand movement supports you in realizing your ideas and finishing your songs faster.

Top-Level Plugins & Effects

MPC Studio includes an expanded palette of sounds, instruments, drum samples, loops, insert effects, and more to fuel your creativity and complete any music project. With over 100 instrument and effect plugins in total, MPC Studio effortlessly handles every music style with a rich, inspiring sound. The insert effects for modern beats come from the award-winning developers at AIR Music Tech and offer powerful tools for editing, arranging, and mixing, including the AIR Vocal Suite.
