Overview & Tech Specs
Overview & Tech Specs
The MPC Live III is the most powerful Akai Professional MPC to date — a flexible and expressive standalone music production center designed for beatmakers, producers, and live performers. Building on the breakthrough features of the MPC Live II, the MPC Live III pushes the boundaries of standalone production even further.
With its new MPCe expressive pad technology, dedicated 16-step sequencer buttons, and dynamic performance touch-strip, the MPC Live III combines hands-on playability with advanced studio capability. Powered by MPC3 OS, it offers enhanced clip launching, song arranging, and professional studio effects — all without the need for a computer.
Connectivity is equally comprehensive, with USB-C, CV/Gate outputs, MIDI I/O, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Its built-in condenser microphone, stereo speakers, rechargeable battery, audio interface, and expandable 128GB internal storage make it a truly portable studio, ready for use anywhere.
The MPC Live III brings together analog warmth, digital precision, and endless sampling freedom, redefining what’s possible in a standalone production system.
