Akai Professional MPC One+ Standalone Drum Machine, Beat Maker and MIDI Controller with WiFi, Bluetooth, Drum Pads, Synth Plug-ins, Touchscreen, and Native Instruments Integration

I’ve used this machine for over a year before writing this and I absolutely CANNOT stress how much it’s changed my life. I was in my most depressed stage of my life when I decided to purchase this machine. I’m so glad I chose to buy it even with its price tag. So worth it. So easy to use. It’s perfect size for an at home music producer. Its build is so awesome and its functions are even better. Only downside is purchasing the extra content for it gets seriously costly. Still worth it. If you wanna begin producing music try this machine out over any other machine cause this machine is perfect for all music production needs. I know it seems like a Joke but Check out my music production on all streaming platforms “Kamel” it’s a pic of me sitting with an acoustic guitar all my beats are made from this machine. GOD BLESS AKAI! Thanks for saving me.

Purchased for my son- this has taken his love for music production to the next level.Fast delivery, great quality, functions as advertised.Very happy with this purchase!

After half a year, this continues to be the bargain electronic device of all time. New to MPC's of any form, this is an iconic music producing device. It is a complex product, requiring only a modest effort on your part to draw out a myriad of musical possibilities. There is extraordinary teaching/learning support documentation available and an infinite number of professional quality add-ons that you will never outgrow. MPC ONE+ is exceptional if you already own a MIDI controller. Multiple alternative forms of the MPC are available.

More than six stars!!! Akai pulled out all the stops on this one! Plus one’ will change your life! Awesome upgrade Akai.!

It is such a great difference and upgrade from my Korg DDD-1 which I have had for over 30 years. The touch screen makes everything so detailed and precise that making beats on here is so easy that I can teach my youngest child how to use it. It’s a lot of fun to use, so much fun I brought one for my cousin as a gift and he’s in love with it!

This thing is really good at getting your beats and ideas down. Very responsive, and fast. Easy enough to record a sample, or import one, and chop it up, slow it down, whatever you need to do with it. I am still learning my way around it, but it is very intuitive to use.People say that it is a daw in a box, and it is that, and more. It’s just got a different workflow compared to the daw’s I have used in the past, but not very difficult to learn.I have yet to try and piece together a full song on it, but I will update my review if need be. If you’re on the fence definitely get one. They are great.

I ordered the first on Dec 30. Then it arrived on Jan 2. When I plug my earphone to the monitor jack, when then volume is low, I only hear sound from the left side. As I increase the volume it slowly goes back to center, but the volume is already too high. I requested replacement the next day. In the meantime I connected it to my spare audio interface and continued exploring, which works fine (I asked customer service and they said it's okay to keep using it while waiting for the replacement item).Today my replacement item arrived. It has an even worse issue that I can't workaround. The drum pads are too stiff that I literally feels pain in my fingers if I want them to trigger. I tried sensitivity and threshold settings and they didn't help much (if at all).I then compared the two I have at hand and apparently they used different materals on the two units. The first one I got was actually a newer unit I believe since the serial number starts with A124, while the other one starts with A123. I'm not sure if it's an issue with quality control or they just upgraded the material, but the one I got is just terrible.No. For a $700 machine, this pisses me off.Goodbye AKAI.

The Best Machine ever still learning a lot about it thou , always but it new .
