Power that keeps up with your creativity
MPC Live III is designed to speed up your workflow and unleash your creativity at any moment. Its 8-core ARM processor, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, combined with the new MPC3 OS, deliver impressive smoothness on all your projects, from the simplest to the most ambitious. Run up to 32 plugins, layer 16 simultaneous audio tracks, manipulate your samples with Super Timestretch or manage your Stems Split in seconds. Everything is designed to turn your ideas into finished productions without ever slowing your inspiration.
Revolutionary pads for unmatched expressiveness
Ultra-responsive performance pads have always been at the heart of the MPC experience, and MPC Live III takes it to the next level with the introduction of MPCe 3D-sensing technology.
These 16 RGB pads, sensitive to velocity and pressure, are now divided into quadrants of 4 zones, offering up to 64 distinct strike zones. Richer than traditional aftertouch, they integrate XY control, sample morphing to trigger and blend up to 4 samples on a single pad, as well as dynamic repeats and articulation effects specific to each quadrant. Every hit becomes a true performance, for a more lively, more organic feel, and an even more direct connection between the artist and their instrument.
Add to that the 16-step sequencer with dedicated buttons for instant composition, the new Clip Matrix for improvising and chaining your loops, and the Touch Strip to shape your effects in real time. MPC Live III doesn’t just execute your instructions: it invites you to play your music differently, with more freedom and energy.
A true mobile studio
With MPC Live III, creativity is no longer confined to your studio walls. Designed to go wherever you need to create and produce, this MPC includes everything you need to work completely autonomously:
Seamlessly move from your home studio to the stage, or even outdoors, while keeping the full power of your production station.
The new command center of your studio
Designed as a true creative hub, MPC Live III adapts to all your setups. Whether you want to connect a microphone, instrument, or turntable, its 2 XLR/TRS combo inputs and RCA phono input cover all your recording needs. The 6 balanced TRS jack outputs enable precise multichannel routing to a mixing console or external system.
Producers and modular musicians benefit from multiple MIDI ports and 8 CV/Gate outputs, guaranteeing full compatibility with analog synths, modular gear, or any MIDI equipment. With its multichannel USB‑C connectivity, the MPC also becomes a true audio/MIDI interface offering up to 24 audio channels and 32 MIDI channels, compatible with Ableton Control Mode, even allowing direct sampling from a computer or an iPhone.
Sounds built for hits
Designed for tomorrow’s hitmakers, MPC Live III ships with a vast collection of sounds and instruments crafted by top sound designers: over 1,000 kits, instruments, and loops are available right from first boot. This selection is enhanced by the all-new MPC3 Pro Pack, featuring a wide range of studio-quality plugins such as AIR Reverb Pro, AIR Visual EQ4, and AIR Fabric Select—a solid, versatile foundation that lets you create instantly and give your productions a professional edge from the very first note.
