Akai MPC One G2

The Akai Professional MPC One G2 represents the next generation of the popular compact stand-alone production workstation. More powerful, faster and better equipped than the MPC One and MPC One+ models, it benefits from the new eight-core G2 processor and MPC 3 OS environment to deliver an even smoother creative experience. Despite its compact size, it boasts capabilities worthy of a true professional production studio. It's the ideal solution for beatmakers, producers and musicians who want to compose, sample, arrange and mix without a computer.

Features

Powerfully upgraded

The MPC One G2 features a new eight-core G2 processor offering up to four times more power than the previous generation. This means smoother navigation, reduced loading times and better management of complex projects. You can work with more tracks, effects and virtual instruments without slowing down.

A stand-alone station ready for ambitious productions

With 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, the MPC One G2 has the resources to manage up to 32 plug-in instances and 16 stereo audio tracks simultaneously. Large libraries, complex arrangements and professional projects are supported without compromising system responsiveness.

The best of MPC 3 OS

Optimized for the latest generation of the MPC system, the MPC One G2 offers a more intuitive organization of projects. Each element benefits from its own workspace, facilitating editing, mixing and production management. The new Linear Arranger makes it easy to build a complete track, while retaining excellent visibility of the overall structure.

MPC pads at the heart of the workflow

The 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads remain at the heart of the MPC experience. They enable you to program rhythms, trigger samples, record performances or practice finger drumming with all the precision for which the range is renowned.

Work on larger projects

Thanks to Disk Streaming, the MPC One G2 can handle larger projects without saturating its internal memory. This technology allows you to load more audio content while maintaining smooth, responsive operation.

Modern connectivity with USB-C

The USB-C connection enables simultaneous transfer of up to 24 audio and 32 MIDI channels between the MPC and your DAW. It also facilitates direct sampling from a compatible smartphone, tablet or computer, greatly simplifying data exchange.

Compatible with today's production environments

The MPC One G2 supports USB Class Compliant peripherals, including certain audio interfaces and external controllers. Ableton Live users also benefit from Ableton Control mode and native project import and export for a seamless workflow.

A vast library of sounds and instruments

Right from the start, the machine provides access to a vast collection of sounds, kits, virtual instruments and ready-to-use projects. New plug-ins developed with Native Instruments further enrich the creative possibilities, with instruments and treatments specially optimized for the MPC ecosystem.

Advanced tools for modern production

Pro Stems features enable drums, bass, vocals or melodic elements to be individually separated from a recording and reworked independently. The optional Pro Pack adds advanced tools such as real-time clip launch, Super Timestretch and Re-Pitch to further extend creative possibilities.

A compact format for any space

Despite its top-level performance, the MPC One G2 retains a compact format that's easy to integrate into a home studio, professional studio or live setup. It offers all the power of the MPC environment in a compact footprint.
