CloseThe Feel of an MPC Meets the Power of a DAW!
If you've love the feel of an MPC but need the power of a DAW, then the Akai MPC Studio is just what you've been waiting for! Even if you're totally new to electronic beat creation, you're going to love how fun and easy it is to dive in with Akai's MPC Studio. This amazingly flexible hybrid hardware and software system gives you the workflow and hands-on control of a traditional MPC, plus the powerful music-production of a full-fledged software DAW. What's more, Akai designed the MPC Studio to be able to go anywhere you take your laptop. Check it out!
First off, let's take a look at the MPC Studio hardware. This totally portable MPC-style controller comes loaded with a full set of 16 backlit MPC pads (yes, they're REAL MPC pads) and tons of hands-on controls, so you'll feel right at home if you're a long-time MPC fan. All of these controls, including the touch-sensitive knobs, are super flat, which lets the MPC Studio controller ride along comfortably in most laptop cases. It's also got a huge backlit LCD display that gives you feedback for just about everything. So if you don't want to look at a computer screen when you make beats, don't worry - with the MPC Studio, you don't have to.
The MPC Studio is different from a typical MPC in one very important way: all of the sampling and sequencing is handled by the MPC Studio software. That's right, the hardware itself is a totally amazing controller for the dedicated MPC software that you run on your computer. That means your sample memory and storage are only limited by your computer's capabilities. HOW COOL IS THAT!?
Now you can sequence up to 64 tracks, store up to eight pad banks, and load up larger, higher quality samples than ever before. Plus, the MPC Studio's software production environment lets you load up your favorite VST and AU plug-ins and use them to make beats. You can even use the MPC Studio as a plug-in in your favorite DAW. Plus it comes with an over 6GB sample library that includes all of the samples from the legendary MPC3000.
Speaking of samples, the MPC Studio supports a ton of sample file formats, including all sample and sequence formats ever used by any MPC in the lineup. So if you're rocking out beats on your MPC1000 right now, you can get your MPC Studio from GearNuts.com, load up your files, and pick right up where you left off. What are you waiting for?
