Introducing the new MPC Live II Retro. Enjoy the same standalone, rechargeable battery powered MPC workflow with this limited-edition classic colour layout and bring a familiar aesthetic to your music production arsenal. The MPC legend is unique with a lore second to none in the world of beat making. Almost as legendary as the MPC workflow is the iconic colour way; the classic cream housing and gray pads are forever etched into the minds of countless beat makers from generations past, present and now with the new MPC Live II Retro, surely into the future. Relive the vibe of the venerable MPC 60, MPC 3000 and MPC 2000 with the MPC Live II Retro.
MPC Live II Retro features the same built-in stereo monitoring system as the original MPC Live II. Designed from the ground up, this dual tweeter-woofer system delivers impeccable clarity to keep your ideas flowing through the creative process. Hear every detail of your production - rumbling 808s, the unmistakable punch of kick drums, thunderous bass lines, and a crisp, silky high-end. Need a second perspective? Turn off the built-in monitors, hook up your studio speakers and you're set.
Under the hood, MPC Live II Retro includes the same multi-core processor as the MPC X, with every mainstay you demand from a modern MPC. Take complete command of your production with Akai Professional's iconic 16-pad format. Sequence, edit and chop samples on the bright 7-inch touch screen colour display. Shape your ideas with four capacitive-touch knobs and dive into all critical functions with an arsenal of dedicated buttons meticulously arranged for the ultimate production workflow. Backed by a super-intuitive UI, and packed with everything you demand for professional production, MPC Live II Retro singularly roots your focus on creativity.
As a producer, you demand versatility. MPC Live II Retro primes you for any situation. With three stereo 14-inch TRS outputs (6 mono), plus phono / line level inputs, USB, MIDI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and four TRS CV / Gate outputs, it's simple to connect, control and get the best out of all your studio gear. Command your modular rig on stage and usher in a new direction to your performance; grab a patch cable and tap into any studio rack gear with ease; hook up your USB MIDI controllers, pick a synth engine and dive into a world of immersive, expressive performances; connect turntables and inject some old school sampling flavour into your production. Your day-to-day producer activities may mean you go from different studio spaces to stage and back - whatever your day demands, you can count on MPC Live II Retro to deliver the goods.
Now you can simultaneously connect and route all the MIDI gear in your studio, including class-compliant USB Keyboards, MIDI interfaces and USB to CV modules, supercharging your I / O capability. Fuse this with deep internal MIDI routing capability across tracks, comprehensive MIDI routing to any MIDI compatible synthesiser, drum machine or soundmodule, and even multitrack recording capability, and MPC Live II Retro forms the beating heart of any production setup, unleashing the true power of all your gear.
Create wherever and whenever you're feeling creative. Don't hang around waiting for that spark, empower yourself with everything you need to find inspiration wherever it is. Fusing a robust, road-tested and compact build with an on-board rechargeable (up to) 5-hour Lithium-ION battery, MPC Live II Retro revolutionises the create anywhere philosophy.
