It is small and light, even smaller and lighter than the Live, but it has a lot more specialized function and mode buttons (as well as some CV connections) just like the X. The One may be considered a hybrid of the hefty, top-of-the-line MPC X and the Live. It is a standalone music-making workstation that has a smaller form factor and incorporates features from other Akai devices to provide a cheaper MPC. Its design combines sharp lines with easy controls to produce a deliciously simple-to-use production workstation with an unabashedly elegant look, making it a welcome addition to the ever-growing MPC Family.

It primarily repackages existing elements from the well-known MPC Live and X, but at a lower cost. The MPC One appears to have sparked renewed interest in the MPC.

The Akai Professional MPC One is a standalone and efficient music production workstation designed for producers, beat makers, drummers, and others, it comes after the success of both the MPC X and Live.
