akai professional mpc 500 music production center

In creating the new MPC X, we’ve learned lessons from every MPC that preceded it to engineer a production centerpiece truly fit to be the Music Production Center of the future.

Countless instruments have attempted to replicate the design, workflow and celebrated swing of the Music Production Center. We’ve created machines that have spawned new genres and advanced existing ones. The history of modern music is intrinsically linked to the Akai Professional MPC line.

Ableton Link and WiFi will be supported in future updates.
