Akai Professional MPC One G2 – Standalone Sampling, Doubled Power

The MPC One G2 keeps the compact desktop footprint that made the original a studio staple and rebuilds the engine underneath it. A new 8-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of internal storage give you the headroom to stack plugins, layer audio tracks, and arrange full songs without a computer. It runs the latest MPC 3 OS with a linear arranger and Ableton Live import/export, so ideas move freely between your standalone rig and your DAW.

Key Features

• 8-core processor: Roughly four times the muscle of the previous generation for deeper plugin and track counts.
• 4 GB RAM & 64 GB storage: Double the memory and four times the onboard space for longer samples and bigger projects.
• 7″ multi-touch display: Full-color HD screen for sampling, sequencing, and arranging by hand.
• 16 RGB MPC pads: Velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads with the classic MPC feel and Note Repeat.
• USB-C audio streaming: 24-in / 24-out channels plus 32 MIDI channels to your computer over a single cable.
• MPC 3 OS: Linear arranger, stem separation workflow, and full Ableton Live import/export.

Customer Benefits

The One G2 is built to finish tracks, not just sketch them. The bigger engine means you can run more instrument plugins and audio tracks before you hit a wall, while the linear arranger lets you build a full song top to bottom on the touchscreen. When you want to keep working in your DAW, projects move across with Ableton Live import and export, and the new USB-C connection turns the One G2 into a 24×24 audio and MIDI interface for your computer. It is a self-contained studio that also plays nicely with the rest of your setup.
