This software update makes the legendary AKAI MPC recording system available to anyone that uses any MIDI controllers such as those from M-Audio, Native Instruments, Alesis, Novation, etc. You no longer need to own any MPC hardware to use the amazing MPC software on Mac or PC.

AKAI Professional announce MPC 2.2 software. Whether you’re seeking freedom from computer based music production, or searching for the perfect controller for DAW-centric creative exploration, MPC Software 2.2 grants the ultimate in adaptive creative versatility.
