Akai Professional MPCXL Standalone Sampler and Sequencer

The next stage of groovebox evolution arrives with the futuristic flagship Akai Professional MPC XL — an all-in-one production powerhouse that fuses the iconic interfacing and performance-focused workflow of the time-tested MPC with the cutting-edge audio processing technologies and studio-minded production tools that propel modern musicians to the furthest reaches of artistic innovation. While the MPC’s namesake “Music Production Center” capabilities have always powered standalone creativity, the MPC XL expands its reach to support unrivaled multimode artistry, from modular synthesizers and external gear to real-time mixing and instant re/sampling of live instrumentation. The MPC XL’s processing power is four times more potent than its predecessor's, and Music Bliss studio pros are aghast at the seamless multimode creativity this innovative Akai instrument affords, including multidimensional MPCe 3D pads, explosive Performance Touch Strip tactility, high-fidelity time stretching, advanced stem separation, 256 simultaneous voices, and supercharged support for simultaneous plug-ins via MPC3 OS. Simply put, the Akai MPC XL is a powerhouse of unprecedented proportions that obliterates the boundaries of live, studio, hardware, software, and hybrid setups.
