Akai’s latest plugin updates make appearances in the MPC2 Environment: The AIR Hype Plugin Synthesizer, Mellotron and Solina.
MPC2 features audio sampling, MIDI sequencing, arranging and swing/quantization. Available for PC and Mac computers, the program works standalone or as a VST within other host DAWs. The MPC2 desktop software works as the main operating system of the MPC Studio environment.
The touch strip is also assignable to control many other MIDI parameters in and out of the DAW system. A touch strip allows realtime control of functions like pitch, modulation and note repeat. A small, full-color OLED display replaces the 7″ screen, showing need-to-know items such as presets, files parameters and track names.ġ6 RGB-backlit and pressure-sensitive pads allow recording of patterns, loops and chords. The MPC Studio drum pad controller provides all the controls the bigger MPC One carries along with much more. The combination of controller and software into one system marks Akai’s venture into workflow solutions for both beginner and experienced musicians. The MPC Studio and MPC2 desktop software are the latest additions to Akai Professional‘s environment of controllers and sequencers.
