The MPC 2.0 software has powerful features including audio track recording, real-time time-stretching (audio warping), pitch-shifting, audio and MIDI drag-and-drop, clip program mode for clip launching, an updated mixer layout with advanced signal routing, and enhanced Q-Link control. What's more, the music production center can operate in Control Mode, which further expands the functionality by connecting to a computer to operate the same MPC 2.0 standalone software as a plugin in your favorite DAW.

The MPC Live incorporates a powerful quad-core ARM Cortex processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage to power the MPC 2.0 software without the need to connect to a host computer.

Fuse this with deep internal MIDI routing capability across tracks, comprehensive MIDI routing to any MIDI compatible synthesizer, drum machine or sound module, and even multitrack recording capability. Simultaneously connect and route all the MIDI gear in your studio, including class-compliant USB Keyboards, MIDI interfaces, and USB-to-CV modules.

The MPC 2.0 software has been updated for full MIDI Multi control, providing command over all your studio equipment. The MPC Live II now features a built-in dual tweeter/woofer monitoring system, allowing you to work anywhere (with or without headphones), and four stereo 3.5mm TRS CV/Gate connectors are there for interfacing with your favorite analog synthesizers, drum machines, and Eurorack modules.

The Akai Professional MPC Live II is a complete standalone music production workstation with an integrated sampler, sequencer, 7' touchscreen, 16 velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit pads, and 4 endless encoder 'Q-Link' controls.
