Product Description
Akai Professional
The Akai MPC500 sampling drum machine workstation is the first truly portable all-in-one Music Production Center.

From rock solid sequencing and programming to expandable memory and storage options, the Akai MPC500 is only small in physical size. Compatible with other MPC products, the Akai MPC500 extends users' studios to fit in with their mobile lifestyles.
