Equipped with the same powerful multi-core processor as the MPC X, the Akai Professional MPC One+ offers remarkable creative potential in a compact, standalone form. From sampling and beat programming to editing, mixing, effects, and more, the MPC One+ integrates everything producers love about classic Music Production Centers into an easily portable unit. With its 7-inch touchscreen, you can now edit and chop samples using hand gestures, map your frequently used parameters to touch-sensitive encoders, and take advantage of MPC2 software integration for an ultimate creative workspace. Additionally, the MPC One+ features extensive Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options, along with Ableton Link capabilities, ensuring you’re always connected in any style. The role of the music producer has evolved over the years, but one thing remains constant: the vast sonic potential of MPC workstations like the MPC One+.

The Original Standalone Workstation

The MPC experience has always revolved around hands-on engagement with your music, eliminating the need for a computer. The MPC One+ delivers this authentic MPC experience, complete with 16 RGB-backlit, velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads for creating beats, playing bass lines, and composing melodies. It retains classic MPC note entry tools such as Note Repeat, Full Level, and 16 Levels, allowing you to assign your four most-used parameters to the touch-sensitive rotary encoders. From your initial spark of inspiration to the final polish, you can keep your hands on the MPC One+ throughout the entire process.

Modern Connectivity Options

With its powerful sequencing and sampling capabilities, the MPC One+ is ideal for pairing with synthesizers, drum machines, and other sound generators. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into your creative workflow, regardless of your music-making style. In addition to line-level inputs and outputs, you’ll find a bank of CV/Gate outputs specifically for Eurorack modular synthesizers. The MPC One+ also includes MIDI I/O for connecting various synths, effects, and other MIDI-capable gear. There’s even a USB input available, allowing you to compose music using your favorite controller instead of the pads. With ongoing firmware updates, you can connect your USB class-compliant audio interface directly to the MPC One+ for recording instrument and vocal tracks without needing a DAW.

Powered by MPC2

Whether using the MPC One+ in standalone mode or as a controller, Akai Professional’s MPC2 software offers a wealth of creative possibilities. This is the most advanced MPC engine to date, featuring 136-track sequencing (128 MIDI and eight audio), real-time time stretching, clip launching, and highly sophisticated MIDI editing. It works as a VST in controller mode and also offers a standalone application for advanced functionality with both Mac and PC. The MPC software provides a comprehensive experience when using the MPC One+ standalone and unlocks unprecedented potential when you integrate your computer into the setup. The new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options mean that software updates, firmware upgrades, and cutting-edge sounds are always just a click away.

Packed with Loops, Samples, Instruments, and Effects

The MPC One+ includes 16GB of internal storage, and you can easily add your own samples via SD card or USB. Out of the box, it comes loaded with a diverse array of content, including a new library of drum samples and loops designed by leading sound designers like RawCutz, F9, Decap MSX Sound Design, and MVP Loops. Additionally, the MPC One+ features Akai Professional’s renowned instrument plug-ins—Electric, Tubesynth, and Bassline—alongside acclaimed AIR FX mixing and mastering processors. With regular firmware updates, even more exciting features are continually in the works, including 14 new plug-ins highlighted by the Air Vocal Insert Effect Suite, which features Vocal Tuner, Vocal Harmonizer, and Vocal Doubler effects. These user-focused upgrades empower you to produce radio-ready tracks effortlessly with the MPC One+.
