Throughout the years, the MPC series has undergone a few substantial revisions, and it wasn't up until recently that Akai would consider making a standalone unit again. Early pioneers of the machines like DJ Shadow used the MPC to create stunningly intricate pieces of music using nothing but samples and their crate digging prowess, elevating the concepts of sampled based music production to incredible new heights.

The ripples from the splash of the Akai MPC series can be felt all throughout modern music production, from hip hop, to techno to well.literally everything.

The Akai MPC One is a compact, powerful standalone music production system that allows you to create full songs and productions using Akai's refined suite of sampling, sequencing and audio manipulation tools.
