Akai's MPC Workstation Returns!

Akai Professional's MPC Studio music production system gives you the creative, hands-on workflow of Akai's MPC sampling groove workstations, plus the power and flexibility only your computer can deliver. Integrating with your Mac or PC, MPC Studio combines Akai's versatile MPC2 software environment with an ultra-portable MPC-style hardware controller. With Akai's MPC Studio music production system, you get the experience of using traditional MPC hardware, the advanced capabilities of a DAW, and the freedom to work the way you like.

A true MPC workstation with total hardware and software integration

Akai's MPC Studio is far more than just an MPC-style DAW with a dedicated control surface, it's a complete music production system that combines the best of Akai's MPC hands-on controls, the music production workflow countless top producers swear by, and the flexibility of today's powerhouse computers. Simply put, MPC Studio is everything you need to make your best beats and electronic grooves, with over 100 instruments and effects built right into its workflow. If you love the workflow of working with real MPC hardware, and want to combine it with the flexibility and processing power of your studio computer, Sweetwater highly recommends the MPC Studio.

Ultra-portable MPC hardware gives you amazing hands-on control anywhere

The MPC Studio controller fits easily in your laptop case, letting you take your beat-creation studio anywhere. Its compact body houses 16 backlit velocity-sensitive pads, a touch strip controller, plus a full set of MPC controls, with visual feedback provided by a backlit LCD screen. In fact, the MPC Studio controller was built to give you access to every aspect of Akai's legendary MPC workflow, so you can create entire songs without ever looking at your computer screen.

Flexible sequencing and sampling software with classic MPC workflow

Akai bundled the MPC Studio with MPC2 music production software to make it a comprehensive music production system. This software music production environment gives you a 128-track sequencer and phenomenal sample-manipulation options with support for WAV, MP3, AIFF, REX, SND, and many other audio file formats. What's more, it supports every MPC sample and sequence ever created by any other MPC. But the software included with the MPC Studio lets you do much more than you could with a traditional MPC. For instance, you can load up your favorite VST plug-ins and use them right along with your samples. You can even use MPC Studio as a virtual instrument in your favorite DAW.
