Rare deals knock $200 off AKAI’s MPC Live II and One portable beat studios from $699

Joining ongoing price drops on its popular MPK Mini MK3 MIDI controller, Amazon is now offering AKAI Professional MPC Live II Professional Portable Drum Machine and Sampler for $1,099 shipped. Regularly $1,300, this is $200 off the going rate, the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon in over a year and the second-best all-time. This is essentially an all-in-one studio version of the legendary MPC sampler/drum machine that delivers an entirely portable, battery-powered setup. It features 16 velocity sensitive RGB drum pads, a 7-inch high-resolution multi-touch display, touch capacitive encoders, and connectivity for USB MIDI keyboard controllers. You’ll also find a host of I/O options for external audio gear and more including the aforementioned USB as well as wireless Bluetooth, three stereo 1/4-inch stereo outputs, phono/line level inputs, and even CV/Gates for modular Eurorack gear. Head below for more details. 

While not quite as extensive a package, Amazon is also offering a rare price drop on AKAI Professional MPC One at $699 shipped. Regularly $899, this is $200 off the going rate and matching the lowest price we have tracked in 2022. This one delivers much of the same setup as the model featured above just with a trimmed down set of I/O and no battery-powered operation.
