In Top Zustand.
Das Gerät wurde nur wenige Male benutzt und immer sehr gut gepflegt. Keine Kratzer, kein Staub, keine sichtbaren Gebrauchsspuren. Es kommt in der Originalverpackung mit komplettem Zubehör.
Der Controller ist speziell für Ableton Live entwickelt und lässt sich dort sehr intuitiv bedienen. Zusätzlich funktioniert er auch gut mit verschiedener DJ-, Licht- und Show-Software und ist dank MIDI sehr vielseitig einsetzbar. Man kann damit nicht nur Musik steuern, sondern auch andere Dinge automatisieren, zum Beispiel über MIDI-Signale im Netzwerk, für einfache Desktop-Automationen oder sogar Home-Automation-Projekte – ähnlich wie bei anderen MIDI-Controllern, nur sehr praktisch aufgebaut.
Der Verkauf fällt mir nicht leicht, aber mir fehlt aktuell einfach der Platz auf dem Tisch bzw. im Raum.
Privatverkauf – keine Garantie, keine Rücknahme.
At €320, this sits a little above the €270 median for recent used listings, but still well within the normal market for a clean example and not far enough into the high end to feel overpriced. Against the €85 to €689 spread, it reads as a fair ask rather than a bargain-bin score, especially if it’s truly in excellent condition.
This is a well-liked controller because it’s solidly built, very responsive, and one of the most practical hands-on options for Ableton-style performance and clip launching. An excellent-condition unit is a strong buy if the pads, encoders, and faders are all smooth, and if it includes the original PSU and USB cable that helps preserve the value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Akai Electric Company Ltd. traces its origins to Japan, founded by engineer Masukichi Akai in Tokyo around 1929, with his son Saburo Akai playing a key role in its early growth. Initially focused on affordable radio components, the firm formalized as a full electronics manufacturer post-World War II, often cited as 1946. By the mid-20th century, Akai had evolved into a prominent name in consumer audio, peaking in the 1970s before financial troubles led to its exit from the industry in 1991.
The brand built its legacy on high-quality tape-based audio gear, including reel-to-reel tape recorders, cassette decks, tuners, amplifiers, and complete stereo systems that brought professional-grade sound to homes. In the late 1980s, Akai Professional revolutionized music production with the MPC series—starting with the 1988 MPC60, co-designed by Roger Linn—integrating sampling, sequencing, and velocity-sensitive pads into compact workstations that defined hip-hop and electronic genres.
Today, Akai holds a revered vintage-collector status among hi-fi enthusiasts for its robust 1970s components, prized for their warm analog character and build quality. In the pro audio realm, the MPC line endures as an iconic, mid-to-high-end tool for beatmakers, with modern iterations sustaining the brand through licensing. While not a current leader in traditional hi-fi like amplifiers or speakers, its heritage appeals to savvy buyers seeking timeless reliability over fleeting trends.
