Mpc Live Mpc X Comparison

Akai mpc x and mpc one have the same operating system and software.

Mpc live mpc x comparison.

A complete stand alone daw. The mpc x is the new flagship mpc from akai. Mpc x costs a lot more than mpc one so those people who cannot buy a music production center can opt for this one. Mpc x weighs around 12 48 pounds whereas the mpc one only weighs 7 44 pounds.

16gb of internal storage. The entry level mpc one the mid range mpc live ii and the now three year old studio workhorse the mpc x. I previously wrote about the new mpc one but at that time the mpc live ii was just a rumour. The price gap is huge so i managed to find an not very used one at a good price.

Mpc live and mpc x now come pre mapped to ableton live for an instant performance and production setup. I checked the mpc live and the mpc x and they are quite different. Users have complete command over live s clip launching mixer and instrument macro controls wirelessly via wi fi network ableton link or by ethernet connection using a usb to ethernet adapter. The original mpc live is discontinued and replaced with the new mpc live ii meaning the current akai mpc line up now consists of three distinct mpcs.

It s a fully standalone mpc with a huge 10 1 touchscreen display. I just bought an mpc x last week. Here goes a lot of talking about the similarities and the di. The mpc live works on battery and is smaller it s quite convenient but the mpc x dedicated q link looks more appealing to me for a home studio use.

A lot of people has asked me to make a comparison video on maschine mk3 vs mpc live. Times move fast and now it s official. The mpc world is buzzing this morning as details have now been official released for the two new standalone mpcs from akai mpc x and mpc live.
