About this deal

You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.

Oh, and about those ‘compact’ pads on the MPC One Plus ands MPC Key – in my opinion they are absolutely fine (I have average size fingers). If you are used to the normal sized MPC pads it will take you a few hours to adapt, no problem at all. If in doubt, try them out in a music store. RAM & CPU USB storage devices have no virtual limit on the capacity of the drive while SD cards up to 2TB in size are supported. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty You can connect your standalone MPC with your USB audio interface by navigating through the preferences menu and finding your sound card. You can also up to 32 inputs/outputs (but beware of the CPU usage!) New plugin Instruments On the other hand, the program edit window helps layer up four samples on every pad, and you can use amp envelopes and filters for every pad.

Lastly, you can use the pad performance mode for setting the progressions, chords, and scales, making it suitable to play and sequence the MIDI gear. Ableton Live Control Mode is a special MPC mode that allows you to directly control a running installation of Ableton Live, so you can launch clips and scenes, mixer parameters and a variety of other functions. It effectively turns the MPC into a very basic Ableton Push. Currently the MPC Key does not support Ableton Live Control (it has not been confirmed why). Comparison: Portability & Size

Akai production tools have gained notoriety within the music industry, the MPC One Plus puts a range of these at your fingertips. The MPC One Plus comes with a new drum sample and loop library that covers a range of musical styles. These provide a great platform to build your next project on. Audio samples are curated from leading sound designers including RawCutz, SampleTools by CR2, F9, Decap, MSX Sound Design and MVP Loop. The MPC One Plus also features a range of Akai’s professional synth engines, ensuring you’ll never run out of creative tools for your musical ideas. These include Electric, Tubesynth and Bassline, as well as the premium AIR FX for mixing & mastering. Features The MPC One supports USB 2.0 connections and ships with a USB 2.0 cable to connect to your computer for controller mode. A huge update in the new MPC OS, especially for those coming from the Elektron workflow, is the ability to now add probability to any note in the sequencer, whether it’s internal or sending MIDI externally. Time stretch is identical for all standalone mpcs, there is nothing unique about the stretching on the live 2. Reply

Akai’s MPC One+ upgrade brings Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a little more storage and a hot red finish. We give our verdict

If you’re often carrying your MPC around, then portability is an important factor – the smaller and lighter the better, especially if the MPC can sneak its way into a laptop bag. Here, the MPC One Plus is the clear winner and at 2.1kg and 27cm wide it’s a similar weight and size as a 16″ MacBook Pro. The MPC Live II at 3.38kg and 41cm wide is probably still within the limit of being considered portable, although it’s nearly 0.7kg heavier than the original MPC Live. It has a range of CV/Gate outputs as well as line-level inputs, so you can connect the unit with your modular synthesizers. Yes, build quality is seemingly identical to the original MPC One. I already have an MPC One, should I upgrade? There are sixteen high-sensitive pads, which makes it convenient to produce a variety of sounds. It is integrated with a seven-inch touchscreen to provide you with higher control over the unit’s features and preloaded music samples.

The MPC could be the primary hub of your studio or live production, taking songs from ideas to finished mix, but that's just one possibility. I often fixate on trying to make one piece of gear do everything, and it's a path to frustration. I'd recommend letting the MPC find its natural niche in your particular workflow and go with it. You might find the MPC is your MIDI/CV sequencer, sample chopper, multitimbral sound module, drum machine or some combination of the above. They have both the same software and system. The One reminds me the Old MPC layout, thats why I love MPC One. ReplyMPC X: 2GB ram, not 4GB. No premium plugins included. Same CPU, exact same hardware (literally identical except for the retro colour scheme).
