Can i use it for live performance?

Hi! YES UOU CAN! and it even runs on battery, just in case someone trips over the power cable. It’s a great unit and you can get a cheap solid-state drive and put it in yourself and expand your sound options. I got a 1 GB drive pretty cheaply on Amazon. Make sure you look on the website to see what external drives are compatible. It has 16 GB of memory which may be OK for a small live performance, but you’ll probably want to upgrade the internals drive. Great unit! And it also really sounds amazing! Good luck and make great music ! This is worth buying.. One last thing… If you are going to take it lives, it’s not that expensive to buy the protected travel case. You don’t want to spend this kind of money and diamonds it. Spend the extra few dollars and get the protected travel case…

I have a mpc studio can i open those files with the mpc one?

Hi, Akai Pro support here! Yes, MPC One and MPC Studio will recognize MPC projects, programs, and sequences made with earlier versions of the software and even older MPC hardware project and program formats!

Can I make others genres of music like country, gospel instead of beats, rap, hip hop?

Hi, Akai Pro support here! Yes, MPC One is also suitable for composing country and gospel music.

Can the pads be somehow set up (if not w/ the factory settings) to play heavy metal / hard rock drums on it? ie deep double bass and real snare sound

Hi, Akai Pro support here! Yes, this can be achieved using the included 'Acoustic Rock Kit' whilst activating the 'Full Level' button for maximum velocity! Ensure you assign x2 kick drum samples to x2 MPC pads side-by-side for the best double bass experience.
