AKAI Professional

Akai Professional has built music production instruments since 1984. Its early samplers led to the MPC60, designed with Roger Linn in 1988, and the MPC has remained the company's best-known instrument since.

Akai Professional is part of inMusic, alongside AIR Music Technology, Alesis and M-Audio. MPC expansions load directly into MPC standalone hardware and MPC desktop software, and many AIR plugins run on the same systems.
