With an 8-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage, the Akai Pro MPC Live III is the most advanced and powerful standalone DAW ever created. Next-generation MPC pads offer maximum expressiveness: in addition to being velocity- and pressure-sensitive, they control parameters across X and Y axes, and in Drum mode, they can be split into four sections to trigger four separate sounds per pad. The USB-C port enables the transfer of 24 audio channels and 32 MIDI channels (both in and out) to and from computers or tablets. The new combo inputs (XLR/Jack) feature built-in preamps and phantom power. An integrated stereo speaker system and microphone, combined with a lithium-ion battery, allow you to produce and perform on the go with total freedom. SAMSUNG 1TB SSD
