The cat's out of the bag! First, US retailer Sweetwater went live with its product pages for two big new AKAI Professional units: MPC X and MPC Live.

It's (finally) official: AKAI to launch MPC X and MPC LiveĪKAI Professional MPC X: 10.1' touch screen, 16 encoders and pads ĪKAI MPC X workstation rear panel: A lot of I/O available here ĪKAI Professional MPC Live: 16 pads, MPC 2.0 software and 7' screen ĪKAI Professional's new MPC Live can run on batteries The smaller MPC-Live $1000 and battery powered works with Tripelplay too - but it lacks several features of the MPC-X ( No Hi-Z Guitar input, No CV/Gate Output)īut both versions allow adding an internal SATA Drive - many install a 1TB SSD to hold all their audio / backing tracks / sample loops

Street price for MPC X is $1850 if you shop around - (Call your order in) Had heart failure when I looked up the $2,199 price.
