Akai Pro MPC3 with Native Instruments Integration - Overview

Discover the groundbreaking integration of Native Instruments with Akai Pro MPC hardware. This overview highlights how seamless workflows and expanded sound libraries redefine music creation for producers and performers alike.

Available today are three signature instruments — Analog Dreams, Cloud Supply, and Nacht — each crafted to inspire unique creative expressions. Additional instruments, including Homage and Sway, are set to launch later in February. Complementing these are five genre-specific Expansion sound packs: Faded Reels which is available now, with Lone Forest, Global Shake, Hazy Days, and Rare Vibrations to follow. All are expertly tailored for seamless integration with the MPC platform.

With this landmark collaboration, Akai Professional’s iconic MPC platform takes center stage, seamlessly integrating with Native Instruments’ creative tools to deliver an unprecedented toolkit for musicians, producers, and audio creators.

Who knew buying an MPC would be like buying a guitar and having it magically upgrade its parts while stored in the case. Every time I pick my MPC back up it’s a more powerful device. Like a fine wine!

I'm not gonna lie. This is one of the best production videos outside of the new features that i've seen a instructor do.

Akai Force is waiting patiently for updates. Come on Akai!

I just saw the official release notes and that you guys are working on odd time signatures returning in a future update. Alongside these new instruments, this will truly make my MPC in incredibly useful creative tool. I'm really looking forward to that update.

Thanks for addressing this, Akai!

Man, this is nuts! Native-instruments integration and Andy Mac what a combination - Akai always delivers!

Just a couple nights ago I was searching for a good synth for my mpc one. I opened the internet today and my jaw dropped thank you!!!

[GirlOnYou]

This was always going to be the end result! I'm glad both companies had the sense to make this happen sooner rather than later! Bravo X

This is dope. Sound is what attracted me (a long-time MPC user) to Native Instruments. As an MPC user, I request Alicias Keys/Electric Keys, Soul Sessions, Bazzazian Tapes, Deft Lines, Empire Breaks, Feel It, and Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass. I use these Kontakt instruments most and would love to see them in the MPC.
