Question: is the mpc software free?
Answer: If you own an MPC X, Live or Touch, the upgrade to MPC 2.0 is free. MPC Renaissance and Studio owners will have to pay $100 (though MPC Studio Black owners can have it for free if they registered after 1 January 2017), while MPC Element and MPK225, MPK249 and MPK261 users can get the updated software for $150.
