About Akai Professional

The company that invented modern beat-making.

In 1988, Akai Professional launched the MPC60 — the world's first MIDI production controller with built-in sampling and sequencing. Designed by Roger Linn, it became the foundation of hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music production. The MPC's combination of 16 velocity-sensitive pads, a step sequencer, and a sampler established a workflow still used by producers worldwide today.

The modern MPC lineup is a complete ecosystem — from the standalone MPC Live III and MPC XL with built-in touchscreens and no-computer operation, to the MPC Studio and MPC One for DAW-integrated workflows. The MPK series brings the MPC pad feel to full-size keyboard controllers, while the APC series offers direct Ableton Live hardware integration.

Available across MENA and Turkey through MediaCast — authorised distributor, in stock in Dubai, with live demonstrations at the MCX Experience Centre in Barsha Heights.

Why Akai Professional

The reason producers choose Akai. Every generation.

From the original MPC60 to the MPC XL, Akai has led music production hardware for 40 years. These are the reasons the MPC has never stopped being relevant.

🥁

The 16-Pad Standard

Akai invented the 4×4 pad grid in 1988. Every electronic producer working today has grown up on the MPC layout — it is the universal language of beat-making. The pads on every MPC are velocity-sensitive, pressure-sensitive and built to be hit hard.

🎵

MPC Software Ecosystem

All standalone MPCs run the same MPC Software platform — over 10,000 built-in sounds, plugin instruments, effects processing, real-time sampling, 128-track sequencing and Ableton Live integration. One platform, every device.

⚡

MPCe Expressive Pads

The latest MPC generation introduces MPCe — Expressive pads with polyphonic aftertouch and per-note pitch bend. Morph synthesiser sounds, add dynamic expression to drum hits and control modulation without reaching for an encoder.

🎹

Standalone Freedom

Flagship MPCs run completely without a computer — no laptop, no interface, no software licence dongles. Internal storage, built-in speakers, rechargeable battery. A complete production environment that fits in a backpack.

🔗

Universal DAW Integration

Every Akai controller works as a plug-and-play MIDI controller with any DAW — Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase. The APC series offers native Ableton integration; the MPK series includes dedicated DAW modes and full HUI emulation.

🏆

Grammy Producers Choose MPC

Timbaland, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Questlove, Swizz Beatz — the producers who shaped the sound of popular music built their careers on Akai MPCs. The MPC is not a beginner's tool; it is the tool that beginners graduate to when they're serious.
