Akai Professional MPC Key 37 Gen 2 Standalone Keyboard Workstation

The Akai Professional MPC Key 37 Gen 2 is a next-generation standalone MPC keyboard synthesizer built for producers and beatmakers who write on keys but rely on the speed and precision of the MPC workflow. Visually inspired by the iconic cream colorway of original MPCs from the late '80s, it combines a 37-key synth-action keybed with pitch and mod wheels, legendary MPC pads, and a powerful standalone production engine to bring melody, harmony, rhythm, and sampling into a single instrument.

MPC3 OS AND G2 8CORE PROCESSOR

Powered by MPC3 OS and a new G2 8core processor delivering four times the performance of the previous generation, MPC Key 37 G2 enables larger sessions, 16 audio tracks for recording vocals to external synths, and 32 plug-in instances for deeper instrument capability. Increased RAM and internal storage allow projects to load faster and run smoothly, no matter how complex.

7-INCH MULTITOUCH DISPLAY

At the center of the workflow is a 7-inch multitouch display running MPC3’s modern track-based environment and Linear Arranger, designed to help producers move beyond loops and build complete songs entirely in hardware. Sampling from phones, tablets, and external gear via USB-C makes it easy to capture ideas and instantly turn them into playable instruments.

ONE-CABLE STUDIO CONNECTIVITY

With one cable USB-C connectivity for audio, MIDI, and data, MPC Key 37 G2 integrates effortlessly into hybrid studios while remaining fully standalone for distraction-free creation. Combining expressive playability, modern standalone power, and processing performance, MPC Key 37 G2 is the MPC made for keys players ready to take on full productions.
