Description
The Akai Professional MPC Key 37 brings together the best of Akai's legendary MPC beat making with the expressiveness of a 37-note synth-action keyboard. This powerful production workstation gives you Akai's iconic MPC workflow for fast, intuitive music creation and sampling, plus over 10GB of sounds and instruments from Akai's industry-standard MPC plug-ins. The 37-note keybed features aftertouch and separate pitch and modulation wheels, while the 16 velocity-sensitive MPC pads give you polyphonic aftertouch for nuanced expression. With built-in effects, a color touchscreen interface and seamless connectivity to DAWs, outboard gear and Splice, the MPC Key 37 makes it easier than ever to turn your musical ideas into full productions.
37 Velocity-Sensitive Keys With Aftertouch
The keybed offers 37 synth-action keys with aftertouch, and separate pitch and modulation wheels, giving you dynamic expressiveness for melodies, chords and solos. The slim keybed is ideal for transport and stage use. And, with MPC's 16 backlit velocity-sensitive pads onboard, you can program beats and trigger samples with the signature MPC workflow that producers know and love.
Over 10GB of Sounds From MPC's Legendary Plug-ins
The MPC Key 37 comes loaded with over 1,000 presets and samples derived from MPC's industry-leading virtual instruments, including the Hype synth, Odyssey sampler and Mellotron emulation. These high-quality sounds give you an inspiring palette of textures right out of the box. And with the sampling capabilities and sequencing tools of the MPC workflow, you can easily chop, edit and arrange these sounds into original beats and melodies.
Easy, Tactile Control
MPC Key 37 brings together the best of hardware and software control. The color touchscreen provides visual feedback on your patterns and samples. Four assignable Q-Link knobs give you tactile control over parameters in real time. Plus, the 16 RGB MPC pads feature polyphonic aftertouch, so you can incorporate more expression into your drum programming and sample triggering.
Studio Connectivity to DAWs, MIDI and Hardware
Despite its compact size, the MPC Key 37 offers extensive connectivity for studio integration. It can function as a 2-in/2-out audio interface over USB, with MIDI I/O letting you control external synths and samplers. Onboard MIDI and CV/Gate outputs provide even more ways to incorporate hardware into your workflow. And the built-in Wi-Fi makes it easy to connect to Splice for cloud-based collaboration.
Whether you produce hip-hop beats, electronic tracks or pop songs, the MPC Key 37 brings Akai's iconic workflow into an intuitive keyboard production station. With its blend of pads, keys and software control, the MPC Key 37 makes it easier than ever to sketch out musical ideas and turn them into full productions. Come to a local Guitar Center to see how it can revamp your beat-making workflow.
