The new MPC X is a standalone MPC featuring an impressive, full-colour 10.1” multi-touch screen display, 16 responsive, velocity and pressure-sensitive RGB pads all fuelled by a multicore processor that powers the MPC Software 2.0.

The Mac Daddy of the range is now the MPC X, a fully fledged, one-stop production studio. Minimal and stylish in design but extremely powerful the MPC Live can slot into an advanced DJ set up and or any Live/Studio rig Users now have the ability to time-stretch in real time, sample, grab, pinch & edit waveforms via the glorious touch display as well as programming the step sequencer record, sequence & edit audio/MIDI live and apply XY FX in real-time, all aided by the iPad style touch screen. The MPC Live, whilst being extremely powerful, is also mega portable thanks to the fact that it can run under battery powered operation via the internal, rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The new MPC Live also features multicore processing technology, 2GB of RAM and an expandable 16GB of on-board storage.

The MPC Live picks up on where the MPC Touch left off but with addition of some added oomph! Looking rather similar to the MPC Touch the new Live comes with a host of features including a full-colour 7-inch multi-touch screen, 16 responsive velocity and pressure-sensitive RGB pads, four touch-capacitive Q-Link controls and a large, master encoder knob. The two new standalone players bring with them new features and new studio production, live and performance capabilities.
