{"product_id":"akai-mpclive3retroxus","title":"Akai MPC Live III Standalone Music Production Center (Limited Retro Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MPC Live III Limited Retro Edition is Akai Professional's flagship standalone production center in a colorway drawn from the original MPC machines of the late 1980s. Beneath the classic beige and dark Akai finish you get the same Gen 2 hardware, MPC3 OS, and MPC3 Pro Pack as the standard MPC Live III: sampling, sequencing, clip performance, and mixing without a computer, with built-in speakers, microphone, and battery for work anywhere inspiration hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eClassic Retro Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited edition nods to the era when Roger Linn's MPC60 introduced the 4x4 rubber pad grid that defined beatmaking, and when the MPC3000 pushed sampling into 16-bit workflows that shaped hip-hop and electronic music for decades. The Retro palette recalls those machines before the line moved to all-black enclosures: a collector-facing finish with no compromise to the modern MPC Live III feature set.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eStandalone Production Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessor \u0026amp; memory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gen 2 8-core CPU (about 4x the MPC Live II), 8 GB RAM, and 128 GB onboard storage for up to 32 plug-in instances and 16 audio tracks at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPC3 OS \u0026amp; Pro Pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Super Timestretch, Pro Stems Separation, Clip Matrix workflow, Ableton Live set import, and premium AIR plug-ins included from the factory.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-in-one rig:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discrete stereo studio monitors, studio-quality onboard mic, rechargeable battery (up to about 4 hours), and a 7\" multi-touch display with four touch-capacitive knobs.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContent:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 30 GB of factory sounds, 24 synth engines, and 15 MPC expansions to start producing immediately.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMPCe Pads \u0026amp; Hands-On Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSixteen full-size RGB MPCe pads use 3D-sensing technology for velocity, pressure, and X\/Y positional control.
