The MPC Live II standalone sampler and sequencer from Akai Professional puts an entire music production rig at your fingertips. Powered by an onboard lithium-ion battery, the MPC Live II lets you create wherever inspiration strikes. At the heart of this portable workstation sits a 7″ touchscreen, 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads and dedicated knobs and buttons meticulously laid out for an intuitive workflow. The MPC Live II also features built-in stereo monitor speakers, allowing you to immerse yourself in your creative process without connecting external speakers.
Built-In Monitor Speakers Provide Impeccable Clarity
The MPC Live II is the first MPC with built-in studio monitors, designed to deliver transparent, balanced audio for evaluating your productions. Whether you’re crafting rumbling 808s, lush pads or crunchy beats, the dual tweeter-woofer system lets you hear every sonic detail. When it’s time for a second opinion, simply turn off the built-in speakers and connect your studio monitors or headphones.

Enjoy up to six hours of portable operation for spontaneous beatmaking and music production anywhere. With 16GB of internal storage, you’ll have plenty of room for samples, loops and beats. Expand your storage using the full-size SD card slot or connect an external hard drive to the 2.5″ SATA drive connector.
Robust I/O for Integration With Studio Gear and MIDI Controllers
Despite its portable size, the MPC Live II is equipped with pro-level I/O for integrating gear of all kinds. Connect turntables, studio equipment and MIDI controllers via the phono/line inputs, stereo outputs, 5-pin MIDI ports and USB ports.
