The Akai Pro MPC XL takes the legacy of the world’s most influential sampling drum machine and pushes it into a new era of standalone performance. Designed for computer‐free music creation, MPC XL delivers professional‐grade power in a hands‐on studio centrepiece built for modern producers who demand speed, flexibility, and total creative control.

At the core of MPC XL is a next‐generation 8‐core processor with 16 GB of RAM, ultra‐responsive MPCe pads with advanced 3D sensing, and a deep performance interface that keeps creativity flowing. A dedicated step sequencer with 16 function modes, 16 touch‐responsive Q‐Links with OLED displays, a performance touch‐strip, and one‐to‐one function buttons put sequencing, sound shaping, and mixing directly under your hands.

Running MPC3 OS, MPC XL supports up to 32 plugin instruments, 16 audio tracks, and as many as 256 simultaneous voices. Advanced features like clip launching, stem separation, high‐quality time‐stretching, and expansive I/O connectivity make it equally at home in a professional studio or live performance environment. Powerful, intuitive, and uncompromising, MPC XL is built for producers who want everything in one box.
