The Akai MPC5000 Music Production Center has the legendary MPC feel and workflow, plus a greatly expanded feature set!

The Akai MPC5000 is a drum machine sampler which includes 8-track streaming hard disk recording, a 20-voice, 3-oscillator analogue synthesizer with arpeggiator, a sequencing engine with 960 ppq resolution, pad and track muting and mixing, and 64 continuous sample tracks. The Akai MPC5000 workstation even features an multi-effects engine with 4 effects buses and 2 effects per bus.

Additionally, the Akai MPC5000 features a 64-voice drum / phrase sampler with 64MB memory, expandable up to 192MB RAM. The display is twice the size of the Akai MPC2500 and MPC1000 so waveforms appear crystal-clear. Integrated Chop Shop 2.0 now supports stereo chops and Patched Phrases. The Akai MPC5000 is also the first MPC to include Random and Cycle sample playback in addition to velocity Zone Play. A turntable preamp is also included.

The Akai MPC5000 workstation's virtual analogue synth eliminates the need for external analogue synth modules or software based synthesizers. The 8-track direct to disk recorder lets you produce a complet song in the MPC and then mix it down with the internal sequenced programs and any input thru material. Add the optional CD/DVD drive and you can then burn an audio or data CD or your mix. Over 650MB of premium-quality sounds from Loopmasters are included to get you up and running with pro-quality production right out of the box.

The AKAI MPC5000 Music Production Center gives you a powerhouse production center for beats, samples, and music!
