MPC STANDALONE CHALLENGE

The concept is simple. We get some of the best producers and musicians across different genres to make an original track from scratch using only the new MPCs - no computers allowed. Now it’s your turn. Take the #standalonechallenge and share your creations online. We'll repost the best tracks on our social channels.

UNPLUG AND PLAY

Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the MPC Live can run up to 6 hours without plugging into a power source. Whether on a plane, at the coffeeshop or in the park, professional music production power is no longer limited to the studio.

KEYS AND CRATES

With 2 USB 3.0 slots on the rear panel, your MIDI controller can be plugged directly into MPC Live for playing built-in instruments. Want to use your favorite samples on a track? Plug in an external drive and create kits out of your own library.
