Akai MPC Key 37 G2

The MPC Key 37 G2 is a next-generation standalone MPC keyboard synthesizer, designed for producers and beatmakers who compose on the piano but also rely on the speed and precision of the MPC workflow. Visually inspired by the iconic cream color scheme of the original MPCs from the late 1980s, it combines a 37-key keyboard with synth-action keys, pitch and modulation wheels, the legendary MPC pads, and a powerful standalone production engine to bring together melody, harmony, rhythm, and sampling in a single instrument.

Thanks to the MPC3 operating system and the new 8-core G2 processor, which delivers four times the performance of the previous generation, the MPC Key 37 G2 allows you to handle larger sessions, with 16 audio tracks for recording vocals and external synthesizers and 32 plugin instances for greater versatility in instrument management. The increased RAM and internal memory allow you to load projects more quickly and run them extremely smoothly, regardless of their complexity.

At the heart of the workflow is a 7-inch multitouch display that showcases the MPC3's modern track-based environment and the Linear Arranger, designed to help producers go beyond loops and create complete tracks entirely via hardware. Sampling from smartphones, tablets, and other external devices via USB-C makes it easy to capture ideas and instantly turn them into playable instruments.

Thanks to USB-C connectivity-which requires just a single cable for audio, MIDI, and data-the MPC Key 37 G2 integrates easily into hybrid studios while remaining fully self-contained for distraction-free creation. Combining expressiveness, autonomy, and advanced processing power, the MPC Key 37 G2 is the MPC designed for keyboardists ready to tackle full-scale productions.
