Standalone Music Production

The MPC One+ is designed to provide a complete computer-free music production workflow. Producers can record audio, create beats, sample sounds, sequence instruments, arrange songs, apply effects, and mix projects directly from the hardware.

Its dedicated pads, touchscreen interface, Q-Link controls, and physical production controls provide a hands-on workflow for musicians and producers who prefer working away from a traditional computer-based DAW.

MPC Performance Pads

The 16 RGB-backlit MPC pads are velocity- and pressure-sensitive, providing expressive control for drums, samples, instruments, and MIDI performances. Four pad banks provide access to additional pad locations, allowing producers to work with larger sample collections and more complex performances.

7-Inch Multi-Touch Display

The 7-inch full-color multi-touch display provides intuitive control over the MPC production environment. Use the touchscreen to browse sounds, edit samples, sequence tracks, arrange projects, adjust mixer settings, control effects, and navigate menus.

Sampling and Beatmaking

Sampling is at the heart of the MPC workflow. The MPC One+ can record audio through its inputs and transform recordings into samples, loops, drum sounds, and playable musical material. Samples can then be edited, processed, arranged, and incorporated into complete productions.

The MPC One+ is well suited to hip-hop, electronic music, house, EDM, beatmaking, sampling, remixing, songwriting, sound design, and live performance.

Powerful Sequencing

With support for up to 128 sequencing tracks, the MPC One+ provides ample space for detailed arrangements. Producers can combine MIDI sequences, samples, instruments, effects, and automation to create complete musical productions.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Built-in Wi-Fi provides wireless connectivity for supported MPC features, software updates, and compatible content services. Bluetooth adds convenient wireless connectivity for compatible audio equipment and supported workflows.

Expandable Storage

The MPC One+ features 16 GB of internal storage, with approximately 7.8 GB available for user content. Additional storage can be added through the full-size SD card slot or compatible USB storage devices, making it easy to expand sample libraries and project storage.

MIDI and CV/Gate Connectivity

Traditional 5-pin MIDI input and output allow the MPC One+ to communicate with external synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and other MIDI equipment.

Eight CV/Gate outputs provide integration with compatible modular synthesizers and voltage-controlled equipment, making the MPC One+ a versatile centrepiece for modern hardware production systems.

Computer Integration

Although the MPC One+ is designed for standalone operation, it can also integrate with MPC software on a compatible computer. This allows producers to move between hardware-based production and a computer-based workflow as required.
