Akai Pro MPC One G2 Standalone Music Production Center

Create Standalone Tracks with the Akai Professional MPC One G2 Music Production Center

MPC One G2 is a next-generation standalone music production center designed for beatmakers and producers who want the classic MPC experience in a compact, powerful desktop form. Inspired by the striking blue colorways of the classic MPC1000 and MPC4000, this new creative tool blends vintage aesthetics with legendary MPC pads and a focused, hands-on layout to enable fast sampling, sequencing, and song creation without the need for a computer.

• Standalone Production: Empowers users to create, arrange, and finish full tracks without a computer
• Modern Workflow: Includes MPC3 OS with a modern, track based workflow and Linear Arranger for DAW style song building in standalone
• Legendary MPC Pads: Industry defining pads for precise finger drumming, expressive performance, and fast sample based workflows
• G2 Processing Power: Four times the processing performance enables larger, more complex standalone sessions
• Expanded Audio Tracks: Supports up to 16 stereo audio tracks for full song production on hardware
• Advanced Plugin Capacity: Runs up to 32 plugin instruments for richer, more layered productions
• One Cable Studio Connectivity: USB C provides 24 x 24 audio streaming and expanded MIDI, and host and support over a single connection
• Hybrid DAW Integration: Includes Ableton Live Control Mode plus Ableton project import/export
• Fast Sampling Workflows: Sample directly from phones, tablets, and external devices via USB C
• Expanded Factory Content: Ships with an upgraded sound library and bundled instrument plugins for immediate creativity

Powered by MPC3 OS and a new G2 8 core processor delivering four times the performance of the previous generation, MPC One G2 supports larger projects, faster load times, expanded audio track counts, and deeper plugin use entirely in standalone operation. Producers can chop samples, build drum patterns, sequence external instruments, and arrange full songs using MPC3’s modern track based workflow and Linear Arranger.

Designed to adapt seamlessly between standalone and hybrid studios, MPC One G2 includes USB C connectivity for multichannel audio and expanded MIDI over a single cable. This makes it easy to integrate MPC One G2 into a computer based workflow when needed, without compromising the speed and focus of hardware first creation.

Compact yet powerful, MPC One G2 delivers the signature MPC workflow with modern performance, flexible connectivity, and the processing headroom to grow with bigger ideas, making it an accessible entry point into the MPC standalone ecosystem.
