The Akai Pro MPC XL continues the legacy of the world's most influential sampling drum machine: the MPC.

It features ultra-responsive MPCe pads, a dedicated step sequencer with 16 function buttons and OLED displays, a next-gen 8-core processor, 16 GB RAM, hands-on performance touch-strip, and one-to-one surface control buttons. Building on the flexible, performance-first features MPC users love, MPC XL offers advanced sequencing, clip launching, pro stem separation, high-quality time-stretching, and powerful I/O connectivity. Seamlessly integrated with MPC 3.7 OS as an all-in-one system, MPC XL can load up to 32 plugin instruments and 16 audio tracks seamlessly, plus support for up to 256 simultaneous voices, making it a professional studio-grade workhorse that's perfect for today's fast-moving producers.
