Akai MPC Key 37 Gen 2 Standalone Production Keyboard

The Akai Professional MPC Key 37 Gen 2 takes the legendary MPC workflow to the next level, combining powerful standalone music production with a compact 37-key keyboard design. Built around the latest MPC3 operating system and a responsive 7-inch multi-touch colour touchscreen, the MPC Keyboard gives producers, beatmakers and musicians everything they need to create, record and perform without a computer.

At the heart of the MPC Key 37 G2 is a next-generation 8-core G2 processor, delivering four times the processing power of the original MPC Key 37. This significant performance boost means faster project loading, support for up to 32 plugin instances, 16 audio tracks, Stems Pro integration, Super Timestretch technology and a smoother, more responsive production experience.

The familiar MPC workflow is enhanced with 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads, a premium 37-note keybed, dedicated pitch and modulation wheels, and access to a huge collection of sounds, instruments, drum kits and loops stored within its 64GB internal storage. Combined with 4GB of RAM, the keyboard is always ready when inspiration strikes.

Optimised for the latest MPC3 software, users benefit from advanced features including disk streaming, a streamlined one-to-one track model and Arrange Mode, making complex productions easier to build and manage.

For producers looking to expand their setup, the MPC Key 37 G2 offers extensive connectivity. Dual MIDI inputs and outputs allow seamless integration with external hardware, while USB-C connectivity supports up to 24 channels of audio streaming to and from a computer. It also provides direct Ableton Live Control Mode support and simple project import and export between MPC and Ableton workflows.

Packed with an updated library of factory content ranging from classic drum machine sounds to inspiring melodic loops, the MPC Key 37 GEN 2 is a complete standalone production powerhouse designed for modern music creation, live performance and studio production.
