Akai Professional MPC XL

AKAI Pro MPC XL represents the culmination of the MPC evolution: a next-generation standalone workstation that packs the power of a complete professional studio in one tool, without the need for a computer. Designed for modern producers, beatmakers, performers, and composers, MPC XL is not just a groovebox, but a true total creative center designed to fit your workflow and amplify it. At the heart of MPC XL is an 8-core Gen 2 processor, flanked by 16 GB of RAM, offering up to four times the power of previous generations of MPC. This allows it to handle complex sessions, load numerous virtual instruments, effects and audio tracks without interruption. With the MPC3 OS, MPC XL supports up to 32 plugins, 16 audio tracks and 256 polyphony voices, making it a fully self-contained professional-level music production machine. The creative experience is immediate and deeply expressive thanks to the new ultra-reactive MPC pads with 3D sensing technology. Each pad is divided into four quadrants that allow advanced X/Y controls, sound morphing, layering, modulations and dynamic loops, opening up new expressive possibilities in beatmaking and live performance.

Control is total and always at your fingertips: the 10.1 multi-gesture, tilting HD touchscreen display ensures clear vision and smooth interaction with every aspect of production. The 16 touch-sensitive Q-Links, each with a dedicated OLED display, provide instant feedback for mixing, editing and sound design. The XL Channel Command system offers lightning-fast access to sends, levels, outputs and recording parameters, while the assignable touch-strip adds direct tactile control over effects, repeat notes, faders and more. The sequencer and performance section is also advanced: the 16-step RGB sequencer allows you to build, edit and perform complex patterns, arrangements and sequences, both internally and to external hardware. With Clip Matrix functions and advanced arrangement tools, MPC XL is also perfect for DAWless performances and more complex live sets. On the connection front, MPC XL is designed to become the beating heart of any studio. It offers combo XLR/TRS inputs with mic preamps and phantom power, dedicated instrument inputs, eight separate line outputs for professional routing, eight stereo CV/Gate outputs for a total of 16 CV channels, as well as a USB-C port with 24 audio and 32 MIDI channels, plus direct connection to smart devices. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth complete the picture, enabling wireless transfers and collaboration. Internal 256 GB SSD storage provides ample space for projects, samples, instruments and presets, while the included extensive library of plugins, effects and premium sounds allows you to start creating without limits right away. The AKAI Pro MPC XL is the flagship of standalone MPCs: powerful, intuitive, deeply expressive and designed to completely replace external computers and controllers. A machine designed for those who want total control, creative freedom, and professional studio performance all in one.
