The Next Step in Autonomous Music Production
Equipped with the same powerful multi-core processor as the MPC X, the Akai Professional MPC One Plus offers enormous creative potential in a compact, self-contained form factor.
From sampling and beat programming to editing, mixing, effects and more, the MPC One Plus incorporates everything producers love about the classic Music Production Center in one portable, easy-to-carry unit.
Now you can edit and trim samples with gestures on the 7-inch touchscreen, map your most-used parameters to touch-sensitive encoders, and explore the ultimate creative workspace with MPC2 software integration.
Additionally, MPC One Plus introduces extensive Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options, as well as new Ableton Link capabilities, ensuring you can always connect in any style.
The role of a music producer has evolved over the years, but one thing that hasn't changed is the vast sonic potential of MPC workstations like the MPC One Plus.
The original standalone workstation
The MPC experience has always been about having your hands on your music, without the need for a computer. MPC One Plus delivers the true MPC experience, from 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads with RGB backlighting to creating beats, playing basslines, and composing melodies. The classic MPC note input tools, including Note Repeat, Full Level, and 16 Levels, are all here, and you can assign four of the most commonly used parameters to the touch-sensitive rotary encoders. From your first inspiration to the final finish, you'll never need to take your hands off your MPC One Plus.
Modern connectivity options
With its powerful sequencing and sampling capabilities, the MPC One Plus is perfect for use in conjunction with other synthesizers, drum machines and other sound generators. It's ready to fit into your creative workflow, no matter how you like to create music. In addition to the line-level inputs and outputs, you'll find a set of CV/Gate outputs for use with Eurorack modular synthesizers. The MIDI interface is present to connect synthesizers, effects and other MIDI compatible equipment. You'll also find a USB input so you can compose music with your favorite controller instead of pads. With ongoing firmware updates, you can always connect your class-compliant USB audio interface to the MPC One Plus to directly record instrument and vocal tracks - without the need for a DAW!
Powered by MPC2
Whether you're using your MPC One Plus standalone or in controller mode, Akai Professional's MPC2 software offers enormous creative potential. It's the most advanced MPC engine to date, offering 136-track sequencing (128 MIDI and eight audio), real-time time stretching, clip launching, and incredibly advanced MIDI editing. It is supported as a VST in controller mode, and a standalone application is also available for advanced functionality with your Mac or PC. MPC software basically offers the most comprehensive experience when using the MPC One Plus standalone and also offers unprecedented potential when you decide to involve your computer in the action. Plus, new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options mean cutting-edge software, firmware, new plug-ins and sounds are always at your fingertips.
Loaded with loops, samples, instruments and effects
The MPC One Plus comes with 16GB of internal storage (you can add your own samples via SD card or USB), and right out of the box you'll find a ton of great content. A new library of drum samples and loops is worth listening to, with production-ready sounds created by sound designers including RawCutz, F9, Decap MSX Sound Design, and MVP Loops, among others. MPC One Plus also features Akai Professional's renowned virtual instruments - Electric, Tubesynth and Bassline - as well as acclaimed AIR FX mixing and mastering processors. Regular firmware updates mean even more exciting features are always being developed, highlighted by 14 incredible plug-ins, including the new Air Vocal Insert Effect Suite, which features effects such as Vocal Tuner, Vocal Harmonizer and Vocal Doubler. With user-focused improvements like these, you're more equipped than ever to produce radio-ready tracks with the MPC One Plus.
