Illa J making that beat in real time then freestyling over it is one of the most creative things i've seen on youtube. Also, Andrew Huang and Rob Scallon do album in a day videos every year, check them out!
I keep telling them the program edit is the most powerful screen on the MPC good to see it actually used Salute to Illa J.., Im thinking about getting one... but idk still... still rocking the force, the one and the live 2...
I really appreciate the thing he said about DAWs. I am definitely not on the DAWless life. I LOVE using a DAW. Ableton is my home. Haha. But there is room for an isolated hardware environment in the process. Damn it I didn't think I'd be going back to MPC because the MPC One didn't work in my studio setup. But this Key 37 is gonna be mine. Great presentation.
Amazing, just amazing.. Just that advice about controlling a certain parameter of the effect through the q link would be worth it :) Awesome feeling between guys, thx!!
That intro beat sounds like Sade. And that's a good thing. I will definitely buy one of these. When it's not red. Hurry, Akai. Gray/black and Retro options, please. I recently sold a Live II. Needed a keyboard with it and got the MPK Mini Plus, but the pairing just was clumsy to use. Wires on devices meant to be ultimately portable. And which device to put on my lap and which to the side? For a desk-based setup, that's fine. For my travel/sofa-lap thing, i just went back to the same controller plus the Macbook Air. But, this makes more sense. It would be so much better with a battery, though-like the Live II. No speakers, just a battery, please....
Andy I suggest Akai release another version of this 37 key MpC loaded with a lot of stuff. It may cost more but there is a niche demand for more synths and drums.
I want to see Key 37 user's compete in a beat battle competition for the best groove beat or short songs... C'mon Andy put it together I'm talking Live Platinum Mode! All I want is 10% of the profits Akai frfr game changer distribution for the production line because some guy are very skilled to inspire others with there sound and performance on the new unit on what can be achieved
Mah. I mean it's a steal for the tiny difference from MPC one plus. BUT, 2GB ram vs 4GB? That's such a lame move by Akai IMHO. I have to dig into specs to really see what we are missing out from MPC ONE or Key 61.
Just wish he could have properly established himself when his brother was alive it would have made the world correctly accept him after the passing of his brother.
Anderson shop you have to be honest you too when you bring a guy like Andy Mac trying to make us buy shit products & after we spend money we got the product is not working right, I am sure you are aware of all this but the story these days became let’s make bussiness only & don’t be Honest, my expectations for Akai they will not stay long, the company ho shit there customer never live long, & it’s there first time they will fail they did it before many times, so my best regard to Mr Andy Mac & Anderton for being not honest A selling & promoting Shit, this Akai company they don’t know how to make a software that is not buggy they are expert in Bugs, BRAVO
But the pads are shitty. Double hits here and there. Rubbish. Please also dont talk about the old days every time a digital instrument comes out. We know how hard it was its not like that anymore for a while!
My Akai Mpc Key 37 that I bought arrived yesterday from Thoman & not able to activate my plugins etc. like many other people , I put in the carton is going back to Thoman for a refund well done Akai I hope you loose Money like you made me loose money & time, because I had to pay customs on it that i will not take back , Bravo Mr Andy Mac, I think you need to change your name to Mr Andy PC IBM because you are full of bugs & not honest with these video you make , you are not responsible too
Very disappointing that there's no battery - and Korg didn't even bother to use USB-C PD to make it possible to use their new portable machine portably... ?? 🤔
One for the ages.
Salute to the Akai team and the Yancey family ❤
Still bumpin yancey boys, album knocks
Dope to see illa j make beats on this crazy machine. As soon as he touches the keys I turn the volume up 😂😂🙏🏾
This is just awesome for the spontaneity of creation. Looking forward to entering the world of MPC with this gem.
hahaha, DAMMM ! EPic ! Andertons & Andy Mac & the Illa J... that was a properly great moment,
Illa J making that beat in real time then freestyling over it is one of the most creative things i've seen on youtube.
Also, Andrew Huang and Rob Scallon do album in a day videos every year, check them out!
Great one. Ordered mine.
Great that Illa J is given this platform. Yancey Boys...let's go! 🔥
Very DOPE moment for AKAI here. Illa J dropping gems, gets no better than that. 💪🏾
Andy mentioned back in the day you had to pair MPCs with sound modules like Motifs and JVs. Even with the new synths, I still do.
Yeah. - Some people still do. I still have my Motif Rack I use with all my other kit from time to time.
Wavestation SR and JV 1080 here - Old-school cool :))
I had the MPC 2000 with a Korg X3, Kawaii K4, Roland JV1080 and E-mu Proteus 2000. All replaced by the MPC One Plus running as a VST in Reason
Been waiting on this.
I keep telling them the program edit is the most powerful screen on the MPC good to see it actually used Salute to Illa J.., Im thinking about getting one... but idk still... still rocking the force, the one and the live 2...
Why isn't this like viral already now after one day.? Don't understand. This shit I straight out of the heart music making.
Akai reaching out to the culture!Andy mac is fire! illa jfire!
this video was so awesome, such a chill watch, the legend Illa J bringing such good vibes.
DOPE !!!!!!!!!!
Love this!
Especially amused by Andy's voice which seems to have morphed into a combo of Westwood and Ali G!
Akai is the next generation of work stations
Producers Akai MPC Dre ,Kanye ,furrell and timberland edition that would be nasty

Stupendous video, not just for the AK-37 but for music production approaches. Master Class Banga this one here.
i will wait for the 88key
Amazing, just amazing.. Just that advice about controlling a certain parameter of the effect through the q link would be worth it :) Awesome feeling between guys, thx!!
Does Andy Mac have a master tutorial !! b/c take my money!!!
Great vibe going on here!
Loved it ❤
Andy, where can we get some Akai Pro swag? Need that hoodie and maybe a cap! :)) lol
Damn.. might have to pick one up
For a smoother work flow..
Put this video in a museum🔥🔥🔥
Unless I am under the weather, I be on this joint several times a day.
((((((((((( ILLA J ))))))))))) Salute.
❤😊
Well this was unexpected ❤❤❤
That beat is fire
We need bag for it or super soft case
Epic !
Welcome to the D baby!!!!
That intro beat sounds like Sade. And that's a good thing.
I will definitely buy one of these. When it's not red. Hurry, Akai. Gray/black and Retro options, please.

The teaching rn! 35:00
crazy

Andy Mack is official plz make a tutorial step by step in using this machine 🎹
Be nice to be able to default program tracks.. like have default setpoints for keygroups and drumtracks..
🔑 19:52,34:36, 37:59
I wish it had speakers behind the keys like the MircoKorg🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Make a black version, please.
He sounds just like hit big bro. Salute. I think I’m gonna the 37. Wish it had additional audio outputs.
add a USB mixer or interface

Alll the mpcs sound good recording in pro tools except the mpc500
That David Brent fist bump 🤜 … 😂
Illa J sounds like exactly his brother
Can you have native instruments plugins and other plugins in it
No you can’t
I think in software mode u can
Why does He keeps saying, “I practice on my piano”
OK.. Im assuming that what illa J said made sense to everyone ?. I had no idea what he in the intro lol. God I'm old.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

MPC ALL have Bluetooth MIDI keep that in mind guys before spending on new gear if you already have live or live 2 or X whatever. No new advantages
Hey can we add a drum randomizer that just throws random drum patterns with the selected drum kits.
All it needs is more ram and a speaker. Then it would wipe the floor with everything else.
Pro Tip: stop adjusting your levels with the faders. use the drum efx gain feature or the level knob in the sample tab.
Now this is how you make a gear review video!
Just wish he could have properly established himself when his brother was alive it would have made the world correctly accept him after the passing of his brother.
not sure any musical boundaries were pushed here
Anderson shop you have to be honest you too when you bring a guy like Andy Mac trying to make us buy shit products & after we spend money we got the product is not working right, I am sure you are aware of all this but the story these days became let’s make bussiness only & don’t be Honest, my expectations for Akai they will not stay long, the company ho shit there customer never live long, & it’s there first time they will fail they did it before many times, so my best regard to Mr Andy Mac & Anderton for being not honest A selling & promoting Shit, this Akai company they don’t know how to make a software that is not buggy they are expert in Bugs, BRAVO
I wouldn’t be surprised like Dre beats OK what implement their ideas like Kanye West Dr. Dre Timbaland Neptune that would be crazy
So basically this is an mpc X/Live with a midi keyboard attached. The workflow seems just as bad as ever.
But the pads are shitty. Double hits here and there. Rubbish. Please also dont talk about the old days every time a digital instrument comes out. We know how hard it was its not like that anymore for a while!
My Akai Mpc Key 37 that I bought arrived yesterday from Thoman & not able to activate my plugins etc. like many other people , I put in the carton is going back to Thoman for a refund well done Akai I hope you loose Money like you made me loose money & time, because I had to pay customs on it that i will not take back , Bravo Mr Andy Mac, I think you need to change your name to Mr Andy PC IBM because you are full of bugs & not honest with these video you make , you are not responsible too
Also received mine and can't update it or try the trials
Very disappointing that there's no battery - and Korg didn't even bother to use USB-C PD to make it possible to use their new portable machine portably... ?? 🤔
Does this mean they're in stock now?!?!? @andertons
