Akai MPC XL
The MPC XL is Akai Professional’s new high-end standalone production workstation, designed to be the nerve center of the modern studio. Operating without a computer or DAW, it offers a fully integrated workflow, ideal for both studio creation and live performance.
Equipped with the MPC3 OS and a powerful internal architecture, the MPC XL allows for seamless management of complex projects, with numerous virtual instruments, audio tracks, and simultaneous vocals. Its large, tilting 10.1-inch HD touchscreen, combined with a comprehensive control surface, ensures quick setup and direct control, eliminating the need to navigate menus.
The MPC XL introduces the next generation of MPCe pads with 3D sensing technology, offering unprecedented expressiveness. Each pad responds to velocity, pressure, and X/Y movements, and can be divided into multiple independent zones for layering, articulating, and transforming sounds in real time. This approach transforms every hit into a true musical performance.
Designed as a complete standalone production console, the MPC XL also features a dedicated control section for the active track, comprehensive connectivity to adapt to any setup, and a large library of built-in sounds and plugins. It's aimed at producers, beatmakers, and musicians looking for the ultimate, powerful, and intuitive production solution.
