Review: The MPC One+ Review: Great Workflow, Systemic Hardware Flaw – READ BEFORE BUYING - The MPC One+ is a great piece of kit that significantly expands on the original MPC One by upgrading the internal storage (16GB) and adding essential Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capabilities. It’s a powerful standalone workstation that offers solid value, but as I learned, buyers must be aware of a critical component quality control issue that significantly devalues it. The Good: Why the MPC Workflow Works (5/5) Standalone Power & Portability: The freedom from the computer is the main draw. The core performance is solid, and you can sequence and arrange entire tracks right on the sofa. For true portability, you can use a portable battery (I successfully used a myVolts Ripcord - USB to 12V DC power cable connected to an INIU 20000mah mini power bank with 65W). Tactile Feel: The pads are responsive, the touchscreen is good, and the Q-Link knobs are fantastic for real-time parameter modulation. Connectivity & Storage: Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are game-changers, making it much easier to integrate MIDI controllers wirelessly and download plugins without constant tethering. The jump to 16GB of internal storage is a huge quality-of-life improvement for plugins and expansions (I use a 128GB SD card for projects and samples). The Reality Check: Critical Component Quality Control (1/5) The Master Volume Knob Defect: I discovered this systematic flaw on numerous replacements that I tested—they all exhibited the same issue. When setting monitoring levels at low volumes, the right audio channel starts rising significantly before the left channel engages. This poor channel tracking makes it impossible to set a perfectly balanced stereo output at the lower end of the volume range—a fundamental flaw for critical mixing and monitoring. Manufacturer Response: Akai's parent company (InMusic) suggested this severe imbalance was "normal behavior," which is unacceptable and dishonest for a professional audio device. This highlights a clear lack of quality control for low-tolerance stereo components. (Note: You can bypass this flaw by routing audio through a USB audio interface and controlling the overall volume there, leaving the MPC knob dormant.) Verdict The Akai MPC One+ is a fantastic choice for standalone production. It’s a 9/10 for workflow and features. However, based on the component quality issue and the manufacturer's unwillingness to address a clear functional defect, I am rating this 5 stars for visibility only. The true score is closer to 3/4 stars. Advice for New Buyers: I strongly advise any new buyer to immediately test the main volume knob with a consistent stereo signal playing upon arrival. Turn the knob slowly from zero to ensure both the left and right channels track simultaneously and maintain a stable stereo image across the entire volume range.
Review: Solid as a rock - Quite pleased with the quality of both hardware and software. Steep learning curve but totally worth it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is this almost £100 more expensive on Amazon?**
A: When I bought it, it was on a deal and the cheapest place to get it.

**Q: Can you create midi files on it, so I can play them back on my roland vima**
A: Yes. You can export Sequences, single tracks and full songs as midi files.

**Q: Do i need a computer to use this?**
A: The answer is 'no' because the MPC range are standalone groove boxes on which everything can be done without the need to connect to a computer. On the other hand, the unit can be connected to a computer and can then be used as a hardware controller for the MPC software which can be installed on your computer from Akai and using the unit in this way it can sometimes be easier to see the bigger picture of what's going on with the music you're making with the unit. On a personal note, I am a Native Instruments 'Maschine' user and I tried the MPC for a workflow comparison and I simply could not get on with the MPC way of doing things and would recommend (if you definitely need a unit to be a standalone groove box) the 'Machine +'. Hope that helps you decide which way to go in your purchase.

**Q: Undecided between the one+ and live. Will the Mpc one + work with my focusrite Safire 6**
A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! The Saffire 6 is sadly not compatible with the MPC One+. Please ensure you choose a class-compliant audio interface which does not require any drivers. For further support, please feel free to contact us - amzsupport@akaipro.com

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid as a rock
*by D***S on 11 January 2026*

Quite pleased with the quality of both hardware and software. Steep learning curve but totally worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent piece of kit
*by S***E on 2 October 2025*

Excellent piece of kit, over the moon at being able to grab one at a decent price. If you want to work DAWless then I highly recommend the MPC one+ - it can be a steep learning curve to begin with but I wouldn't want to work any other way. Solid piece of equipment that you can do just about everything on and you don't even need to look at a computer screen.
