MPC XL puts the power of a full studio right at your fingertips. The most advanced MPC yet, this all-in-one production hub is made for more than sampling and sequencing alone. It’s designed to give you complete creative freedom over every sound, loop, sample, sequence, or idea for your next best beat. It’s your entire workflow—made to work for you.

The Akai Pro MPC XL elevates the legacy of the world’s most influential sampling drum machine: the MPC.

Designed for computer-free, music-making workflows, MPC XL is the pinnacle of standalone power. This studio centerpiece features ultra-responsive MPCe pads, a dedicated step sequencer with 16 function modes, 16 touch-responsive Q-Links with OLED displays, a next-gen 8-core processor, 16 GB RAM, a hands-on performance touch-strip, and one-to-one surface control buttons. Building on the flexible, performance-first features MPC users love, MPC XL offers advanced sequencing, clip launching, pro stem separation, high-quality time-stretching, and powerful I/O connectivity.

Seamlessly integrated with MPC3 OS, this all-in-one system can load up to 32 plugin instruments and 16 audio tracks, with support for up to 256 simultaneous voices, making it a studio-grade workhorse that’s perfect for today's fast-moving producers.
