Introducing the Akai Professional MPC Key 37, a standalone keyboard workstation that has everything you need to produce music out of the box. The iconic MPC range has been the centerpiece of beatmaker and producer studios for over three decades and now, MPC Key 37 delivers an advanced production platform that combines sampling, sequencing, and synthesis into a lightning-fast workflow that keeps you focused on your music. MPC Key 37 combines the familiar 16 pad grid layout with a synth-action 37 note keybed fuelled by legendary MPC sounds and instruments along with all the connectivity you need to integrate your outboard gear and computer.
