Akai MPC One G2 Standalone Music Production Center Pre Order

Expected in Canada end of June 2026/ start of July 2026.

MPC One G2 is a next-generation standalone music production center designed for beatmakers and producers who want the classic MPC experience in a compact, powerful desktop form. Inspired by the striking blue colorways of the classic MPC1000 and MPC4000, this new creative tool blends vintage aesthetics with legendary MPC pads and a focused, hands-on layout to enable fast sampling, sequencing, and song creation without the need for a computer.

Powered by MPC3 OS and a new G2 8 core processor delivering four times the performance of the previous generation, MPC One G2 supports larger projects, faster load times, expanded audio track counts, and deeper plugin use entirely in standalone operation. Producers can chop samples, build drum patterns, sequence external instruments, and arrange full songs using MPC3s modern track based workflow and Linear Arranger.
Designed to adapt seamlessly between standalone and hybrid studios, MPC One G2 includes USB C connectivity for multichannel audio and expanded MIDI over a single cable. This makes it easy to integrate MPC One G2 into a computer based workflow when needed, without compromising the speed and focus of hardware first creation.

Compact yet powerful, MPC One G2 delivers the signature MPC workflow with modern performance, flexible connectivity, and the processing headroom to grow with bigger ideas, making it an accessible entry point into the MPC standalone ecosystem.
