    Akai Professional has combined their legendary MPC platform with a keyboard workstation for the first time! The new MPC Key 61 is one of the most feature-packed standalone production tools ever produced. Akai‘s MPC changed music forever in the late ‘80s once pop and hip-hop luminaries got their hands on it, and this MPC Key 61 features refined versions of MPC tools with additional pressure-sensitive velocity pads, pad memory, 63 function buttons, and much more. Use the MPC Key 61 as a standalone workstation; a controller/input for DAWs, MIDI devices, or hardware synths; as a sampler; and almost anything else. Plus, it‘s easy to expand the MPC’s storage thanks to a built-in drive bay for solid-state or hard disk drives. Check it out!

    MPC is definitely the best DAW-less recording system - or at least for those of us who prefer to start off with a great drum beat and build out from there. It is sooo versatile and incredibly powerful - but still easy to use!

    Seems like there is enough space left on the 61 key version to make a 49 key version...1500 would be allright. Msrp is 2200 for the 61, but in shops it will be 1800. So 1500 should be possible for a 49 key.

      you can connect any class compliant USB midi controller (like Akai Midi Mix or any motorized one if you prefer), and just assign it to the stuff you want to control, then save it as a template. i hope akai makes it like automatic to connect like an apc 40 or a midimix to it and be automatically mapped. that'd be bonkers.

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  2 місяці тому

      Hi, thanks for your interest! There’s not a traditional vocoder effect built in on the MPC Key, but there are some vocal effects, including a vocal tuner that can do subtle pitch correction or aggressive hard-tuning, as well as a harmonizer that can create up to 4-part harmonies from a single vocal.
      Hope this helps a bit - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!
