Description

Akai MPC Key 37 G2: Complete Standalone Music Production with Keys and Pads

The Akai MPC Key 37 G2 is a powerful standalone music production workstation that combines a 37-key synth-action keybed, legendary MPC pads, advanced sampling, and a modern production engine in one instrument. Create beats, play chords and melodies, sample external sounds, arrange full songs, and build complete productions without a computer. With G2 processing power, up to 16 stereo audio tracks, 32 plugin instruments, and USB-C connectivity, MPC Key 37 G2 gives producers, musicians, DJs, and live performers a fast, hands-on workflow for creating music anywhere.

Next-Generation MPC Processing and Standalone Production

At the heart of MPC Key 37 G2 is a new G2 8-core processor delivering four times the processing performance of the previous generation. This increased power allows you to work with larger sessions, more complex arrangements, and layered productions directly from the hardware.

The included MPC3 OS provides a modern track-based workflow with the Linear Arranger, making it easy to build complete songs in a familiar DAW-style environment while remaining completely standalone.

Keys, Pads, Sampling, and Hybrid Connectivity

MPC Key 37 G2 brings melody, harmony, rhythm, and sampling together in one performance-focused instrument. The 37-key synth-action keybed with pitch and modulation wheels works alongside MPC performance pads, giving you an expressive way to play instruments, trigger samples, program drums, and build patterns without switching between multiple devices.

When inspiration strikes, USB-C sampling lets you capture sounds directly from phones, tablets, and other external devices and turn those recordings into playable instruments. For computer-based production, USB-C provides 24x24 audio streaming and expanded MIDI connectivity, while Ableton Live Control Mode and project import/export make it easy to move between standalone and DAW-based workflows.
