About The MPC LIVE II

AKAI's MPC LIVE II is a total remake and upgrade of the MPC LIVE — bringing new MIDI integration to your music production workflow and taking your ideas from concept to finalized beats. It packs a lot of features and workflow tools into one powerful portable unit. Beat programming, editing, mixing, FX and instruments and so much more — using the same software as the MPC X, MPC LIVE, TOUCH, and Studio. Lessons go step by step so you'll understand the workflow on both the software and hardware.

The MPC LIVE II is Akai Professional's standalone, multi-core powered MPC with MIDI Multi capability — transforming it into the ultimate MIDI sequencing studio centrepiece. Simultaneously connect and route all the MIDI gear in your studio including class compliant USB keyboards, MIDI interfaces and USB to CV modules. Deep internal MIDI routing across tracks, comprehensive routing to any MIDI compatible synthesiser, drum machine or sound module, and even multitrack recording capability makes MPC LIVE II the beating heart of any production setup. These lessons will work for both MPC LIVE and MPC LIVE II.

Our lessons are built around the current 530-page MPC Standalone OS manual, covering the full MPC 3.9 software — the latest wavetable synth engine, updated sampler workflow, Q-Link enhancements, and every screen you'll actually touch on the hardware. Nothing outdated, nothing skipped.
