Mpc Live Mpc X Comparison

Times move fast and now it s official.

Mpc live mpc x comparison.

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. Mpc live and mpc x now come pre mapped to ableton live for an instant performance and production setup. It s a fully standalone mpc with a huge 10 1 touchscreen display. The price gap is huge so i managed to find an not very used one at a good price.

I just bought an mpc x last week. 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. 16gb of internal storage. Mpc x weighs around 12 48 pounds whereas the mpc one only weighs 7 44 pounds.

Mpc live and mpc x now come pre mapped to ableton live for an instant performance and production setup. Akai mpc x and mpc one have the same operating system and software. 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. A lot of people has asked me to make a comparison video on maschine mk3 vs mpc live.

Mpc x costs a lot more than mpc one so those people who cannot buy a music production center can opt for this one. A complete stand alone daw. 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. The main difference between the two is price and weight.

I checked the mpc live and the mpc x and they are quite different. I previously wrote about the new mpc one but at that time the mpc live ii was just a rumour. The entry level mpc one the mid range mpc live ii and the now three year old studio workhorse the mpc x.
