Description

The Iconic MPC Workflow, Redefined for Your DAW

The Akai Professional MPC Studio 2 is a complete music production system that seamlessly bridges the gap between tactile hardware control and innovative software power. Designed in collaboration with working producers, this controller brings the industry-standard MPC experience directly to your computer. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an aspiring beatmaker, the MPC Studio 2 provides a continuous stream of non-stop creativity, making it the perfect centrepiece for modern producers, live performers, and sound designers.

Legendary Pads for Ultimate Expression

At the heart of the MPC Studio 2 are 16 full-size, velocity-sensitive RGB pads that deliver the classic "MPC feel" known for changing the face of modern music. These pads are not just for programming drums; they allow you to trigger chords, play melodies, and chop samples with nuanced pressure sensitivity. The RGB backlighting provides vital visual cues, helping you coordinate sound banks and stay organised during high-energy performances or complex studio sessions.

Real-Time Expressive Control

The integrated 5.5-inch assignable Touch Strip is a game-changer for sound manipulation, allowing you to bend and shape sounds with fluid motion. You can assign this controller to virtually any parameter—use it to humanise pitch bends, automate a synth’s LFO, or control the roll of your hi-hats in real-time. This level of expression ensures your digital productions maintain a natural, "human" feel that is often lost in software-only environments.

Vibrant Visual Feedback

The full-colour LCD display ensures your focus remains on the music rather than your laptop screen. This crisp interface allows you to zoom in on waveforms, browse sample libraries, and adjust plugin parameters at a glance. By minimising the need to reach for a mouse, the MPC Studio 2 streamlines your workflow, allowing you to finish songs faster and capture inspiration the moment it strikes.
