Standalone MPC Production with Keys and Pads
Blending expressive keyboard performance with the speed and precision of the legendary MPC workflow, the Akai Professional MPC Key 37 Standalone Keyboard Workstation gives producers, beatmakers, and songwriters a complete hardware production environment without requiring a computer. Styled in a cream finish inspired by classic late-'80s MPC designs, this all-in-one instrument combines a 37-key synth-action keybed with aftertouch support along with pitch and modulation wheels, iconic MPC pads, and a powerful standalone production engine built for composing melodies, programming beats, sequencing arrangements, and sampling sounds in a single streamlined workstation.
Modern Songwriting and Arrangement Workflow
The MPC Key 37 runs the MPC3 operating system, delivering a modern track-based production workflow with a Linear Arranger that makes it easy to move from loop creation to full song development entirely in hardware. A responsive 7" multitouch display provides intuitive hands-on control, helping you quickly build arrangements, edit performances, and shape productions with minimal menu diving.
Expanded Processing for Larger Productions
Powered by a new G2 8-core processor with four times the performance of the previous generation, the MPC Key 37 is designed for larger, more ambitious productions. Support for up to 16 stereo audio tracks allows you to record vocals, external instruments, and other audio sources directly into your projects, while the ability to run up to 32 plug-in instruments enables layered, instrument-rich productions. Increased RAM and internal storage help projects load faster and perform smoothly, even in complex sessions.
Standalone Flexibility and Studio Integration
Flexible connectivity makes the MPC Key 37 equally capable as a standalone creative hub or the centerpiece of a hybrid studio. A single USB-C connection supports 24x24 audio streaming, MIDI, host functionality, and data transfer, simplifying studio integration. USB-C sampling also allows direct capture from phones, tablets, and external devices, making it easy to transform ideas into playable instruments. For producers working alongside software workflows, Ableton Live Control Mode and project import/export provide seamless integration between hardware and DAW-based production.
Shipping with an expanded factory sound library and bundled instrument plug-ins, the MPC Key 37 delivers an immediately inspiring production platform for creators who want tactile keyboard performance, deep sampling capability, and full standalone music production in one integrated instrument.
