AKAI MPC Key 37 Gen2

AKAI MPC Key 37 G2 is a next-generation standalone MPC keyboard synthesizer tailored specifically for producers and beatmakers who prefer composing on keys but demand the rapid, precise workflow of the legendary MPC ecosystem. Visually striking, it pays homage to the original MPCs of the late '80s with an iconic cream colorway. It seamlessly merges a premium 37-key synth-action keybed (complete with aftertouch, pitch, and mod wheels) with 16 industry-defining RGB-backlit MPC pads, creating an all-in-one instrument capable of commanding melody, harmony, rhythm, and intricate sampling without ever needing to connect to a computer.

At the core of this production powerhouse is the revolutionary MPC3 OS, driven by an incredibly powerful new G2 8-core processor that delivers four times the performance of the previous generation. Supported by 4 GB of RAM and a vast 64 GB of internal storage, it effortlessly handles complex projects, allowing users to run up to 16 stereo audio tracks and 32 rich plugin instruments simultaneously. The workflow is centered around a brilliant 177 mm multitouch display running the modern track-based Linear Arranger, helping producers transcend simple loops to arrange complete songs. Furthermore, its single-cable USB-C connectivity provides pristine 24x24 multichannel audio streaming and MIDI capabilities, allowing the unit to act as a formidable centerpiece in both standalone setups and hybrid computer-based studios.
