Next-Generation G2 Processing Power

The MPC One G2 is built around a new eight-core G2 processor that expands the capabilities of the compact standalone MPC platform. The upgraded architecture supports larger productions, faster workflows, more audio tracks, increased plugin capacity, and higher voice counts.

With 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, producers have additional space for samples, projects, instruments, and creative content without relying entirely on external storage.

16 Classic MPC Performance Pads

The MPC One G2 features 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB MPC pads designed for expressive beat making, finger drumming, sample triggering, melodic performance, and sequencing. Eight pad banks expand the available assignments, while RGB illumination provides clear visual feedback during production and performance.

7-Inch Multi-Touch Display

A 7-inch HD full-color multi-touch display provides direct access to sequencing, sample editing, arrangement, sound design, mixing, and system functions. Multi-touch operation allows musicians to interact directly with projects and parameters for a fast and intuitive workflow.

MPC3 Standalone Production Workflow

The MPC One G2 runs the MPC3 production environment, providing a comprehensive standalone workflow for creating complete music productions. Producers can build beats, record audio, sequence instruments, arrange songs, edit samples, and develop complete tracks directly from the hardware.

The expanded hardware supports up to 16 stereo audio tracks and up to 32 plugin programs, providing substantial capacity for complex music productions.

Sampling and Sound Creation

The MPC workflow is built around hands-on sampling and sound manipulation. Stereo audio inputs allow external instruments and audio sources to be integrated into productions, while the pads, touchscreen, Q-Link controls, sequencing tools, and effects provide an immediate environment for creating beats and shaping sounds.

Touch-Sensitive Q-Link Controls

Four touch-sensitive Q-Link encoders provide hands-on control over parameters such as filters, effects, levels, envelopes, and instrument settings. Four accessible Q-Link columns expand the available assignments, allowing musicians to make detailed adjustments without interrupting the creative workflow.

USB-C and Computer Integration

The USB-C connection expands the MPC One G2's flexibility for computer-based production workflows. The unit supports USB audio functionality and can integrate with compatible computer software. Ableton Live Control Mode and Ableton project import and export further expand its studio capabilities.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity

Built-in Wi-Fi provides convenient access to supported online functions and updates, while Bluetooth 5 connectivity supports compatible wireless devices. These features make it easier to integrate the MPC One G2 into modern studio and production environments.

MIDI and Modular Integration

The MPC One G2 offers extensive connectivity for external instruments and hardware. Traditional 5-pin MIDI input and output support synthesizers, drum machines, keyboards, and other MIDI equipment, while four TRS CV/Gate connections provide eight outputs for controlling compatible modular and analog synthesizer systems.

Expandable Storage

In addition to its 64 GB internal storage, the MPC One G2 includes an SD card slot and USB connectivity for compatible external storage devices. This provides convenient options for managing sample libraries, projects, expansions, and audio files.
