Akai MPC Live Portable Powerhouse From Japan Used
  • AKAI MPCLIVE Stand-alone. Unlicensed. There is a charger, a blue cable, and a startup guide. I bought a new one from Amazon about 2 years ago. I used it for a little track production, but I didn't use it much. If you initialize it, even the sound of the sample seems to disappear, and the captured one will remain in it, but I will send it as it is. I have never had any problems or breakdowns. I have never taken it out and used it. The protective filter is still attached to the LCD. There are a few scratches on the back side. I think there is not much reduction in pads. There is no box. The ones in the photo are all. If you can understand the used products after checking the photos, please consider it.
