Open-Box Akai Professional MPC Live III Standalone Music Production Center Condition 1 - Mint

Sometimes inspiration strikes when you’re away from your studio—that’s where the Akai Professional MPC Live III comes alive. As the latest evolution of the MPC legacy, this next-generation standalone music production center combines sampling, sequencing and live performance tools in a portable unit, complete with built-in mic, stereo monitors and a rechargeable battery. Powered by an 8-core processor with 8GB of RAM, it delivers seamless handling of up to 32 plugin tracks and 16 audio tracks. Meanwhile, the debut of Akai’s expressive MPCe pads with 3D-sensing technology, a responsive Touch Strip for real-time effects and modulation, and the latest MPC3 OS with Pro Stems separation and clip launching set a new benchmark for creativity on the go. Far beyond a beatmaking tool, the MPC Live III is a fully realized production powerhouse that’s ready to shape your ideas from first spark to finished track.

Streamlined Workflow Powered by MPC3 OS

Akai’s MPC Live III builds on decades of innovation with the powerful new MPC3 OS, giving producers a fully integrated environment for creating, arranging, and performing without a computer. The system’s clip launching, step sequencing, and expanded song arrangement tools redefine how quickly you can move from an idea to a finished track. Exclusive features like Pro Stems Separation, Pro Reverb, and Visual EQ bring studio-grade processing into the standalone world, while the familiar MPC workflow ensures the process feels natural and immediate. This is Akai’s most fluid, modern OS yet—purpose-built for speed and creative flow.

Next Generation MPCe Pads for True Expression

Akai’s MPCe pads make their debut, introducing 3D-sensing technology that responds to velocity, pressure, and even subtle X/Y finger movement. Each of the 16 RGB pads can control layered samples, blend sounds, or trigger articulations for lifelike dynamics. The result is a tactile experience that blurs the line between sequencing and performance—every ghost note, accent, and flam is captured exactly as you play it.

Hands-On Control for Stage and Studio

With the MPC Live III, performance control is front and center. Its dedicated 16-step sequencer buttons let you program electronic patterns instantly, while the Touch Strip offers responsive real-time control over effects, modulation, and pitch. Four Q-Link encoders provide instant parameter access, and the bright 7" multi-touch display ties your workflow together with DAW-like precision. Whether sculpting beats in the studio or launching clips onstage, every element is designed to keep you in command of your sound.

Fully Portable Studio With Deep Connectivity

Designed for creators on the move, MPC Live III integrates a built-in condenser microphone, stereo monitors, and a rechargeable four-hour battery, giving you a complete studio that fits in a backpack. Dual XLR/TRS combo inputs, phono jacks, CV/Gate outputs, and a 24-channel USB-C audio interface make it equally powerful in a professional rig. Add Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and direct USB-C sampling from a computer or smartphone, and you’ve got a remarkably flexible standalone production hub.

Ample Power and Storage Capabilities for Modern Workflows

Under the hood, the Akai MPC Live III runs an 8-core processor with 8 GB of RAM, effortlessly handling 32 instrument plug-ins and 16 audio tracks at once. The 128 GB internal drive stores massive sample libraries, with room to expand via SSD or SD card. Its 24-bit/96 kHz converters ensure pristine audio at every stage, whether sampling vinyl or tracking vocals. Built to keep up with the demands of modern production, Akai Professional’s MPC Live III combines next-generation performance with the reliability that has defined the MPC name since 1988.
