Akai MPC Key 37 Production Keyboard Gen 2

MPC Key 37 G2 gives you everything you need to create music in a fully standalone workflow. Play chords, write melodies, build drum patterns, sample sounds, and arrange full songs without opening a computer. With keys and pads together in one system, your entire production process stays focused, fast, and uninterrupted.

Retro MPC Aesthetic
Visually inspired by the iconic cream colorway of original MPCs from the late ’80s, MPC Key 37 G2 blends classic MPC design with a modern, performance-focused layout made for hands-on control, fast workflows, and expressive playing.

Keys & Pads Together
MPC Key 37 G2 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. Play chords, trigger samples, and build patterns without switching between devices or breaking your momentum.

Next-Generation Processing Power
Powered by a new G2 8-core processor with four times the performance of the previous generation, MPC Key 37 G2 is built to handle larger sessions and more complex productions. From full arrangements to layered compositions, it’s made to move as fast as the sounds move you to create.

Complete Productions, Anywhere
With support for up to 16 stereo audio tracks, MPC Key 37 G2 gives you the tools to build complete tracks entirely using one piece of gear. Record vocals, capture external instruments, and arrange full compositions without leaving your standalone workflow.

More Plugins, More Possibilities
Run up to 32 plugin instruments in a single project, allowing you to build richer, more detailed productions. From layered textures to detailed arrangements, you have the tools to expand and shift your sound without limitation.

Easy & Convenient Connectivity
Simplify your setup. USB-C connectivity delivers multichannel audio up to 24 tracks, 32 channels of expanded MIDI, and device support through a single connection for seamless integration with other instruments, studios, and production environments.

Adaptable for Hybrid Workflows
If you do need to tap into a computer-based workflow, MPC Key 37 G2 integrates without any hassle. With Ableton Live Control Mode and project import and export, you can transition between standalone and DAW-based creation quickly and conveniently.

Capture New Sounds in the Moment
