MPC 2

AKAI MPC 2 brings sampling, beat making and song arrangement into one production environment. Build tracks with 128-track sequencing, record audio, edit MIDI and reshape loops using real-time time-stretching and audio warping. Clip launching offers a flexible way to explore arrangements, while audio and MIDI drag-and-drop helps move ideas through your workflow. For electronic drum design, the included DrumSynth lets you create synthesized kicks, percussion and evolving rhythmic textures rather than relying solely on samples. MPC 2 runs as a standalone application on Mac and PC and integrates with a DAW, with VST compatibility in controller mode. Support for third-party MIDI controllers and extensive MIDI routing also makes it useful for studios combining software with external gear. It suits beat makers, sample-based producers and electronic musicians who want detailed editing alongside a performance-focused approach.
