The 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads take over for finger drumming, sampling and real-time performance, offering two complementary approaches in one machine.
Quadrupled power for complete productions
Powered by an eight-core G2 processor four times more powerful than the previous generation, the MPC Key 37 G2 effortlessly handles the most demanding sessions. Where the first generation was limited to 8 plugin instances, the Key 37 G2 supports up to 32 simultaneous instances, with 16 stereo audio tracks for full arrangements. With 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, instruments, kits and projects are available immediately, with no latency or slowdowns.
Thanks to disk streaming, unprecedented on an MPC of this form factor, you can manage projects of a scope previously inaccessible on a standalone machine in this range.
Produce with ease using MPC 3 OS
Optimized for MPC 3 OS, the MPC Key 37 G2 provides a modern, intuitive production environment designed to take you from idea to finished track without ever leaving the unit. The individual track model makes arrangements clearer and edits faster. The linear arranger lets you structure your songs from A to Z, section by section, with naming and color-coding for an optimal overview.
Whether you’re building a project from scratch or polishing an ongoing production, the Key 37 G2 keeps up without limiting your creativity.
The new hub of your studio
The MPC Key 37 features a wide selection of connections to hook up your entire studio. The new USB-C connection centralizes the essentials into a single cable: it can handle up to 24 audio channels and 32 MIDI channels simultaneously to your DAW, sample from your smartphone or tablet, and connect Class Compliant devices such as an audio interface.
On the analog side, a pair of 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs let you connect your sources and monitoring systems, while MIDI DIN ports and CV/Gate jacks ensure communication with your modules and synthesizers. Three dedicated pedal inputs (sustain, footswitch and expression) complete the setup for maximum live expressivity.
Comprehensive digital connectivity
With built-in Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, the MPC Key 37 G2 stays connected to your creative ecosystem at all times. Everything is managed from your MPC, without a computer—from automatic updates to downloading new plugins and accessing your Splice account. Ableton Live users will benefit from Ableton Control mode and native project import/export for seamless back-and-forth between the unit and the software.
A fully loaded arsenal ready to go
Supplied with an expanded library of sounds and plugins, the MPC Key 37 G2 is ready to accompany your projects and productions immediately. The partnership between Akai Pro and Native Instruments further expands the sound offering, with a selection of studio-quality plugins designed specifically for the MPC interface.
To push creation even further, the MPC Key 37 G2 is compatible with the Pro Stems plugin, allowing you to isolate and rework each component of a recording (Stems license required, sold separately), while real-time clip launching and Super Timestretch / Re-Pitch are available via the Pro Pack (sold separately).
