Join us as we travel back in time to see how the story of one of the most important machines in modern music began.
Akai Pro’s compact MIDI keyboard has been treated to a significant design overhaul that the company say make it the perfect companion for everyone from bedroom beatmakers to touring professionals.
The MPC Live III features Akai Pro's expressive MPCe pads, a dedicated 16-button step sequencer and a new Clip Matrix mode that focuses on real-time performance, as well as boasting a built-in mic and speakers and offering battery-powered operation.
The new MPC Key 37 packs much of the functionality of its larger sibling into a more compact footprint.
Users of Akai Pro's MPC range will soon be able to split their samples into stems and process them individually.
Akai’s APC64 is much more than just a successor to the APC40 — in fact, it’s much more than just an Ableton controller...
The latest version of Flex Beat aims to provide a fast, inspirational and practical solution for enhancing beat-based music production.
As well as offering deep integration with Ableton Live, Akai Pro's new APC64 can be used to control hardware instruments thanks to a built-in sequencer and CV/gate connectivity.
Akai are celebrating 35 years of their MPC platform with the release of a new version of their flagship instrument that boasts a retro look along with increased processing power and storage.
Described as the ultimate rhythmic tool, Akai Pro's new plug-in provides a simple way to chop beats, create DJ-style scratches, and trigger a range of tempo-synced pitch-shifting effects.
