The best demo I've seen of the MPC Key 37. These on-board plug-ins sound incredible!
Thank you so much Andrew!
🚨 After watching so many reviews this video has me convinced, this and the other guy who recorded vocal tracks . I’m sold
Beautiful test
Great demo, Chris. Very helpful. Really liking these sounds. :)
Thanks Jon, appreciate it!
Came here to also say this was the best sound demo of the mpc key 37 I've watched yet. Now I know what it's capable of and can buy it knowing it can produce the sounds I'm looking for. Thank you.
Really appreciate that, thanks so much. Happy to do it justice as it really is a great keyboard!
I agree 100%!
@@TheChrisVella You're quite welcome. I must have watched 50 videos on the key 37 until I found one (this one) that finally put it through its proper paces. Nobody wants to play to keyboard anymore so I can hear how it sounds as a lead. Thankfully, you did.
@@TheChrisVella I'm wondering if this synth is mostly playing samples, or is there an engine generating this?
By far the best demo from a keyboardist standpoint. I can’t wait to purchase this soon as I now understand what it’s capable of.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
All the top synth company’s should hire this guy to do their synth sound demos. It makes a huge difference hearing decent playing and not just a blues/ pentatonic scale and a couple altered ii-V-I’s. Great demo.
You're too kind, reading this has made my day! Thank you dude :D
I’m glad that I ordered that darn thing today. Can’t wait. Excellent demo dude!
Thanks so much dude I hope you enjoy making music on it!
Thank you so much your labour and time. It is absolutely a clear introduction video to understand about the Akai 37..
Thank you very much man, glad you enjoyed the video! 😁😁
Great Demo. TY
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations!!
Your Video is the Best ones.
You are a great musician!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Niceeeeee‼️
Great demo! Thanks so much :-))
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :D
Thanks for the video. I was specifically looking for keyboarding scope instead of beatmaking. I wanted to listen to all the sounds and you’ve done great ❤
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I think as a keyboard player there are some great sounds for sure.
Your playing is excellent. Great demo, too.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Awesome sounds! 👍😊 I am saving up to buy the Akai MPC keys 37 by year end. 😊
Thanks man! I'm sure you will not regret it!!
What a fantastic demo. Great playing very relaxed. Well done!!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing
😁😁
At last. A show on the actual sounds. And you can play. hardly ever see that skill. Thanks.
Appreciate that Christopher! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I think it makes sense to show off such a great instrument with some playing. Thanks for stopping by man.
Can’t wait to get my hands on one for my studio next month
It’s a very solid keyboard man, you won’t be disappointed!
Nice skills Mate! ❤
Thanks ✌
Awesome review definitely grabbing one! So glad I didn't purchase the MPC One + a few months back! I had no idea this was coming either!
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed the video. And what a killer product, I can’t get enough of it 😁
all these synths can also be played in mpc one and mpc live, you just need a midi keyboard
Thanks 4 dis 1!
No worries! Thanks for checking it out 😁
Excellent playing x review! Now I want it even MORE!!! 😍 🤤🎹
Thanks so much Rob! 😁
@@TheChrisVella Np, & THANK YOU for the inspiration!
Thank you for running through the sounds . You have a new sub .
Thanks so much David 🙏🏻
@TheChrisVella thank you . I will soon have my Akai, and no one goes over what we get as a basic sound vs what we can by . It helps alot.
Great video buddy
Thanks so much man 🙏🏻
Really great sound...😌
Thank you :D
That was a comment for Akai bruh @@TheChrisVella
Thank you so much, just a display of what the unit can do, a lot less talking, some fine playing, Akai should be paying you, you've just sold another one of these for them.
Thanks so much JD, appreciate your kind words. I hope you found some enjoyment from this!
Звук шикарный
Thanks, this was great. The only thing I wish is that from the beginning we knew which sounds were stock and which did not come with this $900 unit.
Cheers man, glad you enjoyed it! The stock plugins you get are Hype, Tubesynth, Odyssey, Solina, Mellotron, Drum Synth and Electric included. The rest are extra.
Great demo and excellent playing. Any way you can share which of the sounds doesn't come with the keyboard???
Thank you man! So the stock plugins are Hype, Tubesynth, Odyssey, Solina, Mellotron, Drum Synth and Electric included. The rest are extra!
❤
😁
Awesome demo, thanks! Are all these plug-ins included ?
Not all of them! I’ve mentioned below in the comments which ones are included.
🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏
😁😁😁
Thank you 🙏 So I can record all of these sounds directly into my DAW and song, via USB connection to computer or audio interface?
this sounds fantastic- are all these sounds included or do you buy them ?
It’s a mix! Some of them are bought some are stock.
Hello thanks for the demo, how is the quality in terms of versatility, clarity, dynamic, etc, compared to the VSTs that are available for DAWs?
I would say it holds up pretty well! Definitely enough quality to make some decent music from, I think it just requires some digging to find sounds that work for you as it’s absolutely stocked full of sounds. So some filtering will help. But there’s enough to keep you occupied for a while.
@@TheChrisVella ok thank you ;)
that part with the steinway.. that shit was bueatiful man.. keep up the good work..
Thanks so much dude, glad you enjoyed it :)
Great demo! Wanted to know that how did you connect the other keyboard and playing the same tones simultaneously? and also can you layer the tones like we do on workstations?
I have it hooked up simply with a MIDI cable from the MPC to the Novation SL. I don't believe you can currently layer sounds.
@@TheChrisVella so its direct plug and play with midi cable?
Yeah pretty much!
Can you make multisamples? On each keyboard key a different wav sample? Great video. Best regards
I don’t think you can make multi samples stuff but I’ll have to look into it
You can ; look up 'mpc autosampler' ...
Thank you so much nice video, but I have a question how to find sound faster like by typing there names ? Is there a way to do this or I have to search for example the EDM CHORD preset by searching manual everywhere ?
There’s actually a “favorites” bank where you can save all your favorite sounds to. Makes it easier to find them for sure!
@@TheChrisVella yes I know but it’s very strange they don’t have a way you can search sounds by name like any other keyboard any way thank you so much 🙏
Hello. Thank you for the demo. How much difference it is with 61 keys version in terms of the sounds?
I believe the sounds are the same! But there are some additional purchases for some of the plugins.
Thanks, Nice review of sounds on the MPC 37 , I read that Fabric XL takes up all but 5% of memory
how do you work with that limitation ?
Just an FYI, there's a lite version of the Fabric library that can be used as well so as to not take up as much resources and loads faster as well.
Yeah it's quite a hefty plugin but to be fair I could probably work around it, I'd only end up using 1 or 2 instances of Fabric XL. and like Fmagic mentioned you can always use regular Fabric that will save you some memory, or you can always bounce down to audio! Cheers for stopping by man
Thanks for the demo of the MPC Key 37, but my question is about your dt770 headphones, do you use a headphone amp with those, or do you plug them straight into the MPC Key 37, I just want to know if the MPC Key 37 has enough power to run my dt770s.
@@isaacspears1628should I run DT 1990 Pro 250 Ohms don’t have any issues.
Just came across this as a possible live instrument for me. Cab we load VST's (Pianoteq/Hammond B3x) into it too, and layer multiple instruments?
So currently you can only use the sounds built in to the Akai platform, and I don't believe you can layer multiple instruments. BUT, If you make a nice template with all your favourite sounds I'm sure it will make a great device for live use!
Oh you better do this with an iPad and a App Like Camelot pro
The Hype, Solina and Mellotron plugins are the only ones that're included for free with this right? We'd have to buy the other ones that you demo right?
Yeah I believe you get Hype, Tubesynth, Odyssey, Solina, Mellotron, Drum Synth and Electric included. The rest are extra.
What actually comes with the key 37 right out of the box before downloading any other plug ins? Is there still a decent variety of sounds?
I believe you get Hype, Tubesynth, Odyssey, Solina, Mellotron, Drum Synth and Electric!
Hey Chris--what's your opinion: would this keyboard be suitable for live performance?
I think it would be! You might be a little limited on the keyboard size but you can always pair it with a larger keyboard! But sounds-wise it’s top!
do these all come as standard built it?? thanks
Not all of them, I’ve mentioned which ones come included below! 👇
Does it have the famous Deadmau5 pluck.
My Korg Kross 2 has it. I want to trade it in for this MPC. Mainly for its numerous plugins and easy workflow.
Not too sure on this one to be honest man, but there’s plenty of sounds I’m sure one of them will be similar or you could probably design the sound directly.
Are these factory presets?
Already loaded on board?
They are factory but some of them are additional purchases. So not all loaded on board from the get go.
How long have you been playing?
Quite a few years now, around 14/15 years
Two minutes in, and even one of the mechanics eyes lit up! This is ear sex!!!!!
Hahah we do love a bit of ear sex!! 😂😂
@@TheChrisVella of course! music or a cotton bud, dipped in lotion 🥰😁
Dang them sounds just kidding this man can really play 😮
Thanks Bernard! Appreciate it dude 🙏🏻
@TheChrisVella welcome man use that talent 👏
all sounds free or?
Ha ha ha
Not all unfortunately, but Hype, Mellotron, Solina and Fabric light yes. The rest are paid
You can actually get these plugins as vsts normally on your computer. They’re made by Air Music Tech and they’re pretty mediocre. It has some simple, quick usable stuff, some good synth emulations and sounds, but mostly terrible acoustic and realistic intruments. Of course the guy plays pretty well which makes any sound sound good.
The vsts definitely do the job in my experience. I was actually quite surprised that it included plugins I’m already familiar with! And cheers about the playing, I think even for people that don’t play too much can get away with creating some decent tunes on here.
I have to agree on the quality of the acoustic emulations. I think the pianos and rhodes are sort of unimpressive. Mostly in comparison to something like my Nautilus. I wouldn't waste my money on their "top level" piano/rhodes/strings. Not only that, they take up a ridiculous amount of the memory. The MPC can handle fine with 2gb of RAM until you bring the Fabric and Studio Strings into the mix. The Stage versions are good enough. Overpriced, still.
As far as the synths, they're good. If the user understands how synthesis works it's pretty easy to get good sounds out of them. The presets are pretty obnoxious in a lot of cases though haha.
Not value for money? I prefer mobility but really not willing to spend too much. Also, i dont trust software version on this. What if it becomes laggy overtime. Laptops come with constant software updates
Because it’s literally has the same software as a computer . It runs the MPC 2 software , I have a Mack book and a alesis vi25 midi keyboard with 16 MPC style pads . I have all the VST’s he’s using because it’s within the software, I have it and tons more
Where can you get better plugins and vst's for mpc?
Oh yaw mean the same sounds since the first MPC Live??😂😂😂 Nevermind
No different than buying a Juno or a Phantom
1 unit same sounds
It’s all new for me! 😂 😂 😂
Only 2 GB Ram, as if 4GB would significantly change the price....
I would assume its more possibly the space it might take. But I wouldn't know!
May be a matter of preference but i found this extremely ugly. I’d anyday prefer a white or a black. Is that available? Also hows the key feel compared to kronos (if u hv played)
I don't mind the colour tbh, most of the things I have are black or white so I found it quite nice to have something in red! But I believe thats the only colour.
Ennnnh😴 the sounds of a synth no longer impress me (and these even less). Especially when most phone apps have equal to better sounds. For me it’s the functionality, usefulness and layout that really raise my eyebrow. That said, I’d buy this synth for 10/10 in all three of those categories.
Yeah I think it serves a specific function. And might not be for everybody even if you’ve worked on other systems/ DAW’s. But I think for what you get in the package it’s quite decent.
Wait, this does have octave -+???
Wtf?
Yeah it does! Above the pitch and mod wheels :)
Surely these are just rompler sounds.
What do you mean man?
@@TheChrisVellaThe inbuilt sounds are just samples on rom. Or are they just samples instruments you load?
Ahh I see, so the sounds I played in this video are actually VST’s that generate the sounds as you can go in and tweak them. But they also have a collection of samples you could use or create a sampled instrument. I believe the sampled instrument is only off a single sample as opposed to multi sampled though.
@@TheChrisVellaKeygroups are what you call sampled instruments on the MPC and support up to 4 velocity layers per note.
I believe it’s just a single velocity
Disappoint
Sorry to hear it man :/ maybe there’s something in there you’d like as I skipped through quite a few.
