Akai Professional
Hardware
Without the innovations of Akai’s original MPC, hip-hop, dance music, and more would be unrecognizable. The proto-DAW redefined the landscape of how we make music and interact with sounds and samples — the Akai Professional MPC Live III arrives to change the game once again. Armed with four times the processing power of its predecessor, the MPC Live III features the most advanced performance and interfacing tools yet, meticulously engineered to bring your beat-making vision to life at the speed of your creativity. The MPC Live III marks the debut of Akai’s state-of-the-art MPCe performance pads to elevate your expressivity beyond the realms of aftertouch — a capability expanded by the customizable Performance Touch Strip. Workflow enhancements and a wealth of included Live III-exclusive tools join a flood of wired and wireless — CV/Gate, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RCA, 5-pin, combo jacks, and more — connectivity options, while deep integration with Ableton, direct iPhone sampling, and multichannel functionality as a USB-C audio and MIDI interface make the Akai MPC Live III the most expressive, powerful, and versatile beat-making machine yet. Game: changed.
