Internally, it will host very probably the same MPC software.

I can well imagine a similar memory upgrade that we saw in the MPC Key 61. Since the keyboard has the same processor as the previous MPCs, I don’t think there will be an upgrade here, either. According to the leak, the device should also have 4GB of RAM instead of 2GB and thus the same as the MPC Key 61. However, the pictures show it has a new Ethernet port that the MPC X does not have. This topic is already being hotly debated in the MPC forum, and it has been discovered that the built-in display has a better mount.Īlso, the connection have all remained the same: 2 MIDI inputs and 4x MIDI outputs in standard size, two combo inputs (XLR), 8x 6,3mm jack audio output, 2 front-panel 6.3mm headphone outputs, 8x 3.5mm jack cv/gate outputs, and more. It has 16 backlit MPC pads, 16 Q-link controls, each with an OLED blacklight, and an OLED audio-level display again.

Even the control elements are laid out the same way. The layout is almost identical to that of the MPC X. It is noticeable that the device comes in a retro design and not in classic black. Images of the possible new Akai MPC XL have appeared in a PDF document under the codename ACV5S. If we believe the leak, Akai Pro is working on a new flagship MPC, more precisely, an MPC XL. Such a thing has now happened to a new Akai product. In these external tests, there are now and then unwanted leaks. LEAK: Akai is working on the release of the new Akai MPC XL with 4GB RAM, a new MPC One, a 3.0 software update, and moreīefore musical instruments or general electronic devices can be put on the market, they must undergo tests that ensure the product’s safety.
