Akai MPC One Gold

The MPC One Gold distills the iconic standalone production power of past MPC's into a smaller, more compact design with a striking gold finish.

Packs a Punch

Even though it's smaller, don't be fooled by its reduced size; this MPC lets you program drums, mix any desired FX, slice up samples, and edit your beats. This is done using the streamlined layout of 16 RGB velocity-sensitive pads, hands-on knobs, 7-inch hi-res touch screen and touch keys. 

These are augmented by handy functions including full level, note repeat, 16 levels, and transport controls. This further enhances your overall workflow, making for far more dynamic and interesting beats. 

Flexible Connectivity 

This MPC will slot seamlessly into your current production setup thanks to its versatile connectivity. From controlling your MIDI devices, to hooking up an external USB controller, you've got plenty of options available to you. 

With 4GB of integrated micro SD storage - plus an SD card slot and a USB thumb input - there's plenty of room to add your own custom sample libraries to the MPC too. 

Sounds & Software Suite 

A new loop and drum sample library comes ready installed on the MPC. These are well-placed to become just as legendary as classic MPC sounds from the past. There's also a series of exciting synth engines to experiment with, and AIR FX - which is a useful mastering and mixing tool. 

Cutting-edge software compliments the MPCs respected hardware and sounds. Use the redesigned MPC 2 software (in either controller or standalone mode) for access to a range of improved production techniques. 

Built-in Splice integration makes scanning through your library of samples an absolute breeze too, with millions of great samples that can be used in your productions royalty-free! This can all be accessed directly through the touch screen.  

New in MPC Firmware 2.10 - Incredible new features and Sounds

AKAI just launched version 2.10 of the MPC firmware, their biggest update ever, with loads of new features and improvements! Let’s go through some of the amazing novelties you can enjoy with version 2.10.

USB class audio support

You can connect your standalone MPC with your USB audio interface by navigating through the preferences menu and finding your sound card. You can also up to 32 inputs/outputs (but beware of the CPU usage!)

New plugin Instruments

Version 2.10 includes loads of new instruments that you can easily download by selecting ‘Get Synth Content’ from the MPC Menu/Help Menu. Explore the new AIR collection including AIR Hype, covering everything from hard-hitting plucks to sultry melodic leads, AIR Solina, recreating the classic string machine and AIR Mellotron, a recreation of the famous tape keyboard. You can also experience a faithful reproduction of the WayOutWare Odyssey.

New AIR Vocal Audio Effects

A new suite of AIR vocal effects: Tuner to make your vocals sound perfect, Vocal Harmonizer, a four-part vocal-harmonizer effect and Doubler, to add presence to your vocal line or create realistic double effects.

New AIR insert effects

Enjoy new effects to spice up your tracks! Just to name a few, AIR Half Speed is the ultimate tool to create half-speed versions of any sound source, for supercool transitions: Air Stutter will make your sounds glitch changing in volume, pan and pitch! Discover all of them & get crazy experimenting.

New Akai insert effects

With the 2.10 firmware update, you’ll gain access to new Akai insert effects. Enjoy the power of a granulator to slice and manipulate your tracks and sample delay to add a cool stereo effect. 

Drum and Keygroup program improvements

Akai have reworked drums and keygroups to ensure a smoother workflow. Now you can add tail to any audio file to avoid abrupt and unnatural endings. There’s a new randomisation section as well, to add subtle variations to your drum samples. If that wasn’t enough, Version 2.10 adds eight effects slots for your drum pads, including bitcrush, decimator, soft clipper and many more!

Key Detection

Your MPC can now automatically calculate the key of a sample. Add any audio file with melodic content and let it do the work!

These are just some of the amazing new features you can enjoy with Version 2.10. What are you waiting for? Go download it now on AKAI Professional's website!
