New Touch Strip FeatureĪ new feature that is sure to become a user favorite is the Touch Strip. Users can load a loop from the library, chop it up into samples, lay down a beat, then play instruments over it to add more melodic textures. To help foster that inspiration, the MPC Studio comes with loop content from Decap, F9 Audio, MVP Loops, Rawcutz, Snipe Young, and more. Users can optimize their performance by switching from Note to Chord mode quickly to build out their tracks as soon as inspiration strikes. You can use colored visuals to keep track of your velocities and pad groupings. They’re enabled whether you’re crafting powerful, booming kick drums or soft, delicate melodies. Velocity and pressure sensitive RGB pads translate to maximum control and expression. At the heart of the controller are 16 full-size RGB-backlit performance pads with aftertouch. The new unit combines intuitive hardware control and innovative, inspiring software. With the Akai MPC Studio, users can have the total MPC experience straight to their computer.
