The Next Stage of Standalone Music Production
Equipped with the same powerful multi-core processor as the MPC X, the Akai Professional MPC One+ delivers huge creative potential in a compact, standalone form factor. From sampling and beat programming to editing, mixing, effects, and more, the MPC One+ packs everything producers love about the classic Music Production Center into an effortlessly portable unit. And now you can edit and chop samples with hand gestures on the 7-inch touchscreen, map your most-used parameters to touch-sensitive encoders, and tap into the ultimate creative workspace with MPC3 software and lock-tight integration with Native Instruments software instruments and expansions. Moreover, the MPC One+ introduces extensive Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options, as well as new Ableton Link capabilities, ensuring you’re always able to connect in any style. The role of a music producer has evolved over the years, but one thing that hasn't changed is the vast sonic potential of MPC workstations like the MPC One+.

The original standalone workstation
The MPC experience has always been about getting your hands on your music, no computer required. Musicians at Sweetwater are pleased to see the MPC One+ delivers the true MPC experience, right down to the 16 RGB-backlit, velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads for banging out beats, playing bass lines, and composing melodies. Classic MPC note entry tools, including Note Repeat, Full Level, and 16 Levels are all here, and you can assign four of your most-used parameters to the touch-sensitive rotary encoders. From your first inspiration to the final polish, you'll never have to take your hands off your MPC One+.
Modern connectivity options
With its powerful sequencing and sampling abilities, the MPC One+ is perfect for pairing with other synthesizers, drum machines, and other sound generators. It's ready to fit into your creative workflow no matter how you like to create music. In addition to line-level inputs and outputs, you'll find a bank of CV/Gate outputs for use with Eurorack modular synthesizers. MIDI I/O is present for connecting synths, effects, and other MIDI-capable gear. You'll even find a USB input so you can compose music with your favorite controller instead of the pads. With ongoing firmware updates, you can always plug your USB class-compliant audio interface into the MPC One+ to directly record instrument and vocal tracks — no DAW required!
Harness the power of MPC3
The MPC One+ is fully compatible with Akai’s state-of-the-art MPC3 software, representing the next evolution in standalone music production. With MPC3, you can elevate your creativity using Native Instruments’ renowned software instruments and expansions. MPC3’s all-new user interface features the workflow-enhancing Main Mode and the transformative Linear Arranger, making your production process smoother and more intuitive. The advanced keygroup multi-sample synth engine opens the door to a universe of creative possibilities, offering automatable parameters, a Dual Filter section, advanced envelopes, multiple LFOs, per-voice drift LFOs, and more. Additionally, MPC3 provides advanced automation on the Master Track and Submixes, with multiple parameter macro controls and a Disk Streaming feature that loads large projects in seconds. Moreover, MPC3 allows you to choose one of three curated editions of the Native Instruments Komplete Select bundle for free. When inspiration strikes, MPC3 software empowers you to take your tracks anywhere.
Loaded with loops, samples, instruments, and effects
The MPC One+ packs 16GB of internal storage (you can add your own samples via SD card or USB), and right out of the box you'll find a ton of great content. A new drum sample and loop library deserves some auditioning time, with production-ready sounds created by sound designers, including RawCutz, F9, Decap MSX Sound Design, and MVP Loops, among others. MPC One+ also features Akai Professional's acclaimed instrument plug-ins — Electric, Tubesynth, and Bassline — plus renowned AIR FX mixing and mastering processors. Regular firmware updates mean even more exciting features are always in the pipeline, headlined by 14 incredible plug-ins, including the brand-new Air Vocal Insert Effect Suite featuring Vocal Tuner, Vocal Harmonizer, and Vocal Doubler effects. With user-focused upgrades like this, you're more equipped than ever to produce radio-ready tracks with the MPC One+.
