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.

Akai MPC Key 37 Velocity-Sensitive Keys

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.

Akai MPC Key 37 Legendary Plug-ins

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.

Akai MPC Key 37 Easy Tactile Control

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.

Akai MPC Key 37 Studio Connectivity

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.
