ARTICLE N° 125470
The Akai Professional MPC Live III takes the concept of a standalone production station to the next level by offering a comprehensive platform designed for producers, beatmakers and live performers. Designed to operate without a computer, it combines processing power, intuitive control and portability to quickly turn an idea into a finished production.

Its architecture is based on an 8-core ARM processor, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, enabling complex projects to be handled with great fluidity. The MPC3 OS system introduces new creative tools such as Pro Stems Separation, Super Timestretch, Clip Matrix and the new MPC3 Pro plugins, offering greater possibilities for arrangement, sampling and performance.

The interface has also been enhanced with the new MPCe RGB pads featuring 3D sensing. Each pad has four independent zones, allowing for more expressive playing, the triggering of multiple samples, parameter control and dynamic variations right at your fingertips. Combined with the step sequencer, the touch-sensitive Q-Link encoders and the multi-mode touch strip, these controllers offer a more natural approach to music creation.

The MPC Live III is also designed for on-the-go use thanks to its built-in lithium-ion battery, stereo speakers and integrated microphone. Its comprehensive range of connections allows it to be easily integrated into a professional setup, featuring audio inputs, multiple outputs, MIDI and CV/Gate connections, and a multi-channel USB-C interface.

To complement this mobile workstation, the pack includes the Walkasse Eva Case for the MPC Live III. This case features a compression-moulded EVA shell covered in 1680D ballistic nylon to effectively protect the device from impacts and the stresses of transport. Its high-density foam interior holds the MPC securely in place whilst providing dedicated space for cables and accessories.
