Akai Professional MPC One GOLD

MPC ONE GOLD - Standalone Music Production Centre

Compact size, but the same computer-independent experience as the new MPCs, in a limited edition with a special and attractive gold-colored chassis.

Everything you expect from a Standalone MPC is integrated into this uncompromising instrument.

From catchy melodies to powerful grooves, if you're looking for a professional next-generation instrument to develop your music productions, the MPC ONE GOLD is undoubtedly the ideal product to encourage and support your creative streak and translate it into music. Don't be fooled by its size. The MPC ONE GOLD packs numerous powerful functions and tools: beat programming, editing, mixing and effects, synths and much more.

At the heart of the AKAI PRO MPC ONE GOLD is the same multi-core processor as the flagship MPC series instrument, the MPC X, cleverly integrated into a compact chassis. MPC ONE GOLD offers an incredible user interaction experience throughout all stages of music production. Edit and trim samples by interacting with your fingers on the 7” multi-touch color display. Directly adjust the main parameters using the rotary potentiometers and buttons on the panel.

A COMPLETE MPC
With AKAI Professional MPC ONE GOLD, you'll have all the MPC series functionalities perfectly positioned to meet your usage needs, for a fluid, obstacle-free experience in realizing your musical projects. 4 rotary potentiometers and a larger data encoder are pre-mapped to manage the most used parameters. There are sixteen pressure and velocity-sensitive pads with RGB backlighting, offering perfect and extremely expressive response. Functions such as Note Repeat, Full Level, 16 Level, and the transport button section are naturally included.

STUDIO CONNECTIVITY
MPC ONE GOLD will integrate perfectly into any setup, in the studio and live, as it provides all the necessary connections. Connect your USB MIDI controller, external instruments (line sources, ¼” jack), control your compatible MIDI instruments and your synths, racks or analog modules with the CV/Gate outputs. No obstacles to interconnectivity.

MPC SOFTWARE 2
Akai Professional developed the MPC 2 software so that it can be used both standalone (without a computer) and as a DAW for PC and Mac computers by configuring the instrument as a controller. The MPC 2 software represents a complete suite for computer-based music production with a 128-track sequencer, real-time time stretching, clip launching, advanced MIDI editing, VST plug-in compatibility, sampling, audio recording and editing with the possibility of integration into other DAWs. All with a simple and streamlined user interface. Depending on your needs, whether for stage or studio use, with or without a computer, you'll find everything you need in the MPC 2 software.
