Akai Professional Brings MPC Stems to Standalone MPC Hardware
Cumberland, RI, USA, July 11, 2024 – Akai Professional, an innovator in music production technology for modern musicians and producers, announces that MPC Stems is now available for all MPC standalone hardware. This feature enables stem separation directly on MPC hardware fully standalone, allowing producers to separate bass, drums, vocals, and other musical elements without the need for a computer.
Expanding Creative Possibilities
This expansion builds on the March 2024 announcement of stem separation for MPC users via the desktop app, now enabling users to create stems directly on their MPC controllers in standalone mode. The introduction of MPC Stems for standalone hardware marks the latest milestone for Akai Professional, allowing producers to isolate and manipulate individual elements of their tracks directly on their MPC hardware. This advancement opens new avenues for creativity and production efficiency, making it easier than ever for musicians to craft unique sounds and remixes on the fly.
Availability and Compatibility
MPC Stems for Standalone is compatible with the following MPC hardware: MPC Live series, MPC One, MPC One +, MPC X, MPC XSE, MPC Key 61, and MPC Key 37. Supported by the new 2.15 Software/Firmware update, this feature ensures seamless integration and enhances the user experience on all compatible MPC devices.
MPC Stems leverages the advanced stem separation engine from zPlane, ensuring high-quality sound separation. Akai Professional has optimized the interface to provide a smooth and intuitive user experience on hardware. While the desktop version offers the fastest processing and highest fidelity, the standalone hardware version provides the flexibility and convenience of stem separation directly on your MPC device without the need of a computer.

MPC Stems is available for purchase exclusively via thempcstore.com for $9.99 USD. All previous licenses purchased for MPC Stem Desktop will include “Stems Standalone.”
