Akai Professional MPC XL Standalone Music Production Centre - Price on Request

The Ultimate Standalone Production Centrepiece

The Akai Professional MPC XL, a flagship standalone music production workstation designed to function as a complete studio centrerpiece without a computer. It features a powerful 8-core processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 10.1-inch multi-touch display to support intensive tasks like real-time stem separation and complex sequencing. Notable hardware advancements include 3D-sensing MPCe pads for expressive performance and 16 OLED-equipped Q-Link knobs for immediate visual feedback. The device offers extensive connectivity, including XLR combo inputs, CV/Gate outputs for modular gear, and a 24-channel USB-C audio interface.

Desktop-Class Performance in Your Hands
Powered by a next-generation Gen 2 8-core processor and a massive 16GB of RAM, the MPC XL provides four times the processing power of previous models. For the producer, this means the freedom to load up to 32 plugin instruments and 16 audio tracks simultaneously while supporting a staggering 256 simultaneous voices. This massive headroom ensures your most complex projects run smoothly, allowing you to move from inspiration to final mix without ever hitting a system limit.

Next-Level Expressive Feel and Response
The debut of the MPCe pads with 3D-sensing technology introduces a new dimension of tactile control. Each of the 16 pads features four independent quadrants, allowing you to morph, loop, and layer sounds based on where you touch the pad. Combined with the assignable performance touch-strip, you gain fluid, physical control over effects, note repeats, and modulation, making every performance feel organic and uniquely expressive.

The Ultimate All-in-One Studio Hub
The MPC XL eliminates the need for external interfaces by providing an extensive I/O suite. Capture crystal-clear audio via dual XLR/TRS combo inputs with high-quality mic preamps and phantom power, or connect your instruments directly through dedicated TS inputs. With 16 CV/Gate outputs for modular integration and a USB-C audio interface delivering 24 channels of I/O, the MPC XL doesn't just sit in your studio - it commands it.
