Akai MPC KEY 37 G2 Synthesizer

MPC KEY 37 G2
A modern production tool combining a MIDI keyboard controller, groovebox and sampler in one device. It allows for fully independent music creation without the need for a computer, including recording, sequencing, editing and mixing. There is an internal memory of 32 GB for storing samples and projects, and external storage can also be used (USB flash drive, SD card thanks to the SD slot). There are also analog inputs and outputs including 2× line output L/R and headphone output and three pedal inputs (2× FS, 1× EXP).

The MPC KEY 37 G2 is a comprehensive music workstation designed for producers and performers who demand maximum flexibility without dependence on a computer. The device uses the advanced MPC OS system, which allows working with sequences, plug-in instruments, audio tracks and MIDI control of external devices. Thanks to 32 GB of internal memory, extensive libraries of samples and projects can be stored directly on the device or on external storage. Analog inputs, 2x L/R line outputs, headphone output and pedal inputs are also available, allowing direct connection to both studio and live environments.

What all can
MPC KEY 37 G2 is a standalone production workstation combining a MIDI keyboard controller, a pad controller and a powerful sequencer. It allows music creation, recording, sampling and editing without the need for an external computer and, thanks to 32 GB of internal memory, it provides enough space for data storage and its expansion using external storage devices including an SD card via an SD slot. The device is also equipped with analog inputs and outputs including a headphone output and pedal inputs for external control.

Sequencer and workflow
The integrated sequencer allows you to work with MIDI and audio tracks, create arrangements and complete song production. Advanced functions such as a step sequencer, automation, work with arrangements and loop regions are available, which significantly speed up the workflow.

Sampling and editing
The device has a full-fledged sampler with the ability to record external sources via analog inputs, edit, cut and map to pads or keyboard. Chop Mode, Time-stretch and Pitch-shift functions allow detailed work with sound and creative editing of loops, while data can be saved to internal memory 32 GB also for external media.

Connections and audio interfaces
The device offers complete analog and digital connectivity. There are 2x line outputs (L/R) for connecting studio monitors, a headphone output for monitoring and analog inputs for recording external sources. There is also an SD card slot for expanding storage space and saving projects.

Pedal inputs
The device is equipped with three inputs for connecting external pedals, which expand the control options during playing and production. There is EXP (expression) for smooth parameter control and two switching inputs FS and Sustain for assignable functions and control of the sustain effect.

Controls and user interface
The dominant element is a 7" color touch screen, which provides clear control of all functions. It is complemented by Q-Link encoders, transport buttons and RGB pads, which allow for quick and intuitive work without the need for external control.

Connectivity and Integration
The MPC KEY 37 G2 offers a wide range of connectivity options including USB, MIDI and wireless communication. MIDI DIN inputs and outputs are available, as well as CV/Gate outputs (4× CV, 8× Gate), which allow direct connection to external analog hardware. USB connectivity includes USB-C (host/device) and USB-A ports for connecting peripherals and storage. Connectivity also includes pedal inputs (EXP, FS, Sustain). Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB audio support ensure easy integration with other devices and computers.
