Akai Professional MPC Key 37 G2 Standalone Music Production Keyboard

Play chords, write melodies, build drum patterns, sample sounds, and arrange full songs without opening a computer. The Akai Professional MPC Key 37 G2 combines a 37 key synth action keyboard, 16 velocity and pressure sensitive MPC pads, sampling tools, audio recording, sequencing, and arrangement features in one standalone production instrument.

More Power for Detailed Projects

The G2 8 core processor delivers four times the processing performance of the previous MPC Key 37 generation. With 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, support for up to 32 plugin instruments, and as many as 16 stereo audio tracks, the system can manage layered instruments, recorded performances, samples, and complete arrangements. Up to 256 stereo voices provide additional room for detailed compositions and sound rich projects.

Keys, Pads, and MPC3 in One Workflow

Play chords and melodies from the synth action keybed, shape performances with pitch and modulation wheels, and program drums or trigger samples from the 16 MPC pads. The 7 inch full color multi touch display gives direct access to MPC3, including its track based workflow and Linear Arranger. Four touch sensitive Q Link controls support fast parameter adjustments while you work.

Connect Hardware, Mobile Devices, and DAWs

USB C supports 24 channel audio streaming, expanded MIDI operation, controller mode, direct access to the internal drive, and sampling from compatible phones, tablets, and computers. Stereo line inputs and outputs, a headphone output, MIDI input and output, four stereo CV and gate connections, USB Type A, and an SD card slot provide flexible studio integration. Ableton Live Control Mode and project import and export help move productions between standalone hardware and computer based sessions.

MPC Key 37 G2 keeps playing, sampling, recording, editing, and arranging within one focused system, whether it serves as the center of a hardware studio or connects to a larger production environment.
