The Essentials to Know About the Akai MPC Key 37 Synthesizer

  • Standalone MPC workstation with a 37-note aftertouch keyboard, 16 RGB pads, and a 7-inch touchscreen for computer-free creation.
  • MPC OS 3.0 redesigned: linear arranger, studio mixer, advanced keygroups, Channel Strip XL, and ultra-smooth MPC workflow.
  • 8 instrument plugins, over 100 effects, 1000+ presets, and 10 GB of sounds for immediate sampling, sequencing, and synthesis.
  • Complete connectivity: USB 2x2 audio interface, MIDI, 8 CV/Gate outputs, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB ports, and SD card.

The Compact Link in the MPC Family

The MPC Key 37 condenses the legendary MPC DNA into a more compact keyboard format, combining the famous pad matrix with a 37-note keyboard. It carries the standalone MPC experience while adding immediate playability for composition, arrangement, and live performance, powered by the MPC 3.0 OS and generous sound content.

For Beatmakers, Producers, and Keyboardists in Studio and on Stage

Ideal for ambitious beginners as well as experienced users, the MPC Key 37 excels in hip-hop, trap, electro, techno, pop, ambient, synthwave, or soundtrack music. In the studio, it becomes a standalone production hub and a controller/audio interface for your DAW. On stage, its aftertouch keyboard, responsive pads, and MPC sequencer ensure solid and creative performances.

Features and Innovations

Powered by a quad-core ARM processor, the MPC Key 37 offers a reference sampling engine and built-in virtual instruments (VA, analog models, sample-based) covering everything from bass design to cinematic pads. The MPC sequencer allows real-time and step recording, with Time Correct, Swing, and Quantize, a dedicated arpeggiator, and a linear arranger to structure your tracks. The 7-inch multitouch screen and Q-Links enable fast editing, while over 100 effects and a Channel Strip XL facilitate sound design and mixing. On the integration side, the USB 2-in/2-out audio interface, MIDI I/O, 8 CV/Gate outputs, WiFi (Ableton Link, updates, Splice), and Bluetooth MIDI make it a modern hub capable of controlling synths, modules, and DAWs.

This MPC is one of the best instruments in the world if you need to create a track quickly or easily record an idea. I, like many, struggled to get comfortable with the MPC logic but it is ultimately a logic based on efficiency and true creation, today I am a big fan! (I've been doing music production since the Atari 520ST)

Novice in MPC, I initially chose it as a workstation for the variety of sounds and modification possibilities, but gradually you get hooked and the desire to discover the machine becomes interesting (after 8 days I think I have discovered about 5.5% of the machine ;-)). Really very happy with my purchase.

Autonomous and efficient machine. I easily switched from the MPC One to the Key 37. With a good quality keyboard that also optimizes the workflow. The plugin instruments are a bit expensive for my taste but they are worth the "cost"...

Great machine, too bad you can't put a disk inside, the ethernet or the USB3.
