The MPC Live III Retro is a powerful standalone music production center designed for beatmakers, producers, and live performers who seek complete creative freedom without relying on a computer. It retains the appeal of the MPC Live III, which has garnered support from many users, while adding retro coloring and feel inspired by the iconic MPC series of the late 1980s.

Featuring MPC3 OS and a vibrant 7-inch multi-touch display, the MPC Live III Retro integrates intuitive sampling, sequencing, and performance capabilities into an all-in-one MPC workflow, allowing you to create anywhere.

This standalone unit features a second-generation 8-core processor that delivers four times the processing power of the MPC Live II.
