The Akai MPC Studio drum machine controller seamlessly integrates with the current MPC 2.10 desktop software. Featuring a bank of sixteen pads and a fully upgraded touch-strip, this edition of the MPC offers even deeper, even more intuitive control. This unit also offers up to 10 gigabytes of onboard sounds, so users can spit beats with more speed and agility than ever. The MPC 2.10 software is just another layer of inspiration and makes it easier to record beats and can even be used used to complete the mixing and mastering stages, all via the same software. Nine plugin instruments come included so you can fully thicken up the production, carve out melodies and play in chords using the sixteen performance pads.
