AKAI MPC Key 61

Akai Pro MPC KEY 61 combines the power of the MPC standalone DAWs in an instrument with a semi-weighted 61-key velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard, 16 backlit pads, and a 7-inch multitouch colour display for maximum expressiveness in your live performances.

Its 25 built-in virtual instrument plug-ins and a wealth of samples, sounds and presets cover every sound need and musical genre: from acoustic and electric pianos to aggressive, modern leads. In the studio or live, MPC KEY allows you to integrate and control numerous MIDI, USB and CV/Gate instruments in your setup, and - thanks to two inputs with high-quality preamps and converters - you can connect and process any sound source: microphone, line or instrument, in real time in the built-in mixer.

Akai Professional MPC Key 61 is the revolutionary keyboard-based digital audio workstation added to the MPC catalogue. Based on the powerful sampler and sequencer, the MPC Key 61 adds new virtual instruments and effects to the classic line-up of next-generation MPCs, establishing itself with its arsenal of music production tools as the leader in studio and stage keyboards. The ultimate keyboard workstation with a semi-weighted 61-key velocity-sensitive keyboard and aftertouch offers unprecedented interaction and creative expression combined with the most powerful and comprehensive computer-independent workflow in the world of musical instruments.
