MPC Live III Retro honors the innovation and influence of music‑making machines that do both. The original MPCs of the late 1980s set the visual and creative foundation for modern beatmaking and hip‑hop culture, helping to define the art of sampling.

With expressive pads, a hands‑on workflow, and a clean layout, these machines shaped how music has been created and celebrated for nearly four decades. MPC Live III Retro pays tribute to that legacy, reimagining the soul of the originals through the lens of a powerful new standalone MPC, finished in the classic Akai Professional colorway. Vintage attitude meets modern performance in a special retro edition built for today’s creators.

MPC Live III Retro honors the innovation and influence of music‑making machines that do both. The original MPCs of the late 1980s set the visual and creative foundation for modern beatmaking and hip‑hop culture, helping to define the art of sampling.

MPC Live III Retro delivers the same flagship experience as the MPC Live III, running MPC3 OS on next‑generation hardware for a fast, fluid, and deeply expressive creative flow. Whether you're sketching ideas, building full productions, or performing live, it's designed to keep your process focused and uninterrupted.
