About Akai MPC Live III
Unleash the Power of Standalone
We built MPC Live III for producers who move fast. It's packed with dynamic production tools, responsive controls, sounds designed by the industry's top sample makers, and the fastest processor of any MPC to date. From basic beatmaking to advanced music production and the most demanding live-performance workflows, MPC Live III redefines the power of standalone.
An Icon Evolves
MPC has been at the heart of modern music-powering iconic records, shaping genres, and defining the sound of a generation. We've listened closely to the creators behind that legacy, taking in what you need to stay inspired and keep creating.
MPC Live III is the result: a genre-defying, boundary-breaking production machine built for wherever music takes you. It honors the past, drives the present, and empowers you to shape what's next.
Unbelievably Fast, Undeniably Slick
Powered by the fastest processor we've ever put in an MPC, this complete standalone system gives you all the production, mixing, and performance capabilities you expect from next-gen Akai Pro hardware, while unlocking the full potential of the MPC3 operating system.
Experience dynamic features like Pro Stems Separation and the ability to load up to 32 instrument plugin instances and 16 audio tracks seamlessly. This is creative horsepower without bottlenecks-it's your flow, uninterrupted.
The Classic MPC Pad, Reimagined
MPC Live III debuts our new MPCe pads: 3D-sensing, ultra-responsive, and designed for more nuanced expression and performance. These pads enable X/Y control of one-shot layers, seamless sample blending, and dynamic note repeats and articulations for more ways to perform and produce with feeling.
Standalone, Portable, Designed to Adapt
MPC Live III is built to break out of the studio. With onboard battery, speakers, and mic, plus deep MIDI and CV control, your full setup goes wherever inspiration hits-no laptop, no limits. Whether you're programming beats, sampling grooves, layering stems, triggering clips, or sequencing a whole track from scratch, MPC Live III's got the range to keep up.
Expanded Workflow for the Perfect Drop
For the first time ever in an MPC, clip launching, step sequencing, and assignable performance buttons empower new ways of working-beyond the classic production toolkit. Trigger clips that land on the one. Lock in basslines and grooves that form the backbone of electronic styles.
Whether you're building a live set or dialing in the perfect drop, this MPC is for modern performance.
