The new Akai MPC Live III

Akai Professional launches the MPC Live III, the latest generation of their legendary MPC standalone. This third version takes the MPC experience to a new level, with more power, new features, and a completely redesigned playing experience.

Standalone powerhouse

The MPC Live III is completely standalone—no computer required. Thanks to its built-in 8-core processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of internal storage (expandable via SATA), you can effortlessly run multiple plugins, audio tracks, and effects. The built-in battery and stereo speakers make it a true mobile studio.

built-in microphone

The MPC Live III now features a built-in condenser mic for recording vocals, instruments, or ideas on the spot — no extra gear needed. Combine it with onboard vocal plug-ins for a complete studio experience anywhere.

16-step sequencer

The MPC Live III adds a 16-step sequencer for fast beat and pattern creation. Perfect for electronic music and live sets — program drums, basslines, or melodies directly from the pads, no menu diving needed.

direct sampling via USB-C

The MPC Live III now supports direct sampling via USB-C. Connect your smartphone, laptop, or external audio source and import sounds or loops instantly. Fast, plug-and-play, and built for today’s creators.

Expressieve MPCe-pads

The new MPCe pads are 3D-sensitive and respond not only to velocity but also to pressure and movement (X/Y). This allows you to blend samples, modulate effects, or control sounds in a natural way — ideal for creative live performances or sound design.
