"With a slightly dubious paint job, this MPC has been upgraded to the extreme, with phat pads, solid state storage and some extra shiny hardware. It comes preloaded with some samples to get you going, and it works great. This one was serviced in house and is ready to go."
"Meet MPC Live III Retro, a special-edition colorway inspired by the original MPCs of the late ‘80s.
From sampling and sequencing to arranging full songs, it’s an all-in-one production powerhouse. Create wherever inspiration strikes and stay in the standalone MPC workflow from start to finish.
From lush pads to punchy basses and soaring leads, Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 channels the sonic character of three iconic hardware synthesizers, bringing new creative inspiration to your MPC or DAW-based workflow.
Inspired by three of the most influential analog polysynths ever created, this collection includes the Fabric Vintage Pro, Fabric Vintage Jup, and Fabric Vintage Memorymoog. Each instrument in this collection captures the sonic DNA of cherished 1970s and 1980s polyphonic synthesizers and places it inside a powerful, modern instrument designed for how producers, composers, and synthesists work today.
These instruments have been reimagined through the AIR Advanced Multi-Sample Synthesis Fabric Engine for flexible, intuitive music-making. This shared engine allows each synth to retain its unique identity while benefiting from a common, modern workflow across MPC hardware and desktop DAWs."
For nearly 40 years, MPCs have shaped the sound and culture of modern music production. MPC Sample carries this legacy forward by making the art of sampling more accessible and approachable than ever before. Inspired by the legendary MPC60 and MPC3000, this portable sampler, sequencer, and effects processor puts the iconic workflow of vintage MPCs into a compact, modern format with features that empower limitless creativity.
Legendary MPC pads, a full-color display, and simple creative controls encourage hands-on sampling, looping, and beatmaking right out of the box. For immediate idea generation, this standalone hardware comes with over 100 kits, inspiring pad and knobs effects, and an intuitive chopping workflow.
MPC Sample is equipped with all the storage and connectivity options creatives need. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery, microSD card storage, an onboard sequencer, an internal microphone, a built-in speaker, and USB-C connection make it easy and convenient to record, edit, and play back audio on the go—no computer or DAW required."
