Building on the breakthrough user-centric features and layout of the MPC Live II, MPC Live III pushes the boundaries even further to empower producers and musicians to create studio-quality productions without limitations. Its intuitive and comprehensive sampling, sequencing, and effects make it an indispensable tool for modern music creation with no DAW or computer required. MPC Live III introduces innovative features like ultra-responsive MPCe expressive pad technology, dedicated 16-step sequencer buttons, and a dynamic performance touch-strip. Fueled by MPC3 OS, this system offers the iconic MPC workflow with new clip launching, song arranging, and studio effects. With onboard USB-C for smart devices and computer connectivity, along with CV/Gate outputs, MPC Live III seamlessly integrates with external gear, modular synths, and DAWs. Its built-in condenser microphone, powerful stereo monitors, audio interface, rechargeable battery, and two XLR/TRS combo inputs make it a truly portable production center with 128GB of internal storage expandable via SSD or SD card to ensure ample space for samples. Designed for immediate playability, endless experimentation, and precision recording, the MPC Live III is the ultimate music production tool for creating professional beats anytime, anywhere.
