MPC Key 37 has a collection of Akai plug-ins, over 100 onboard effects, and wireless integration with Splice. This is all controlled by 16 iconic MPC pads, a 37-note synth-action keyboard, a 7" touch screen, and four real-time Q-link encoders. MPC Key 37 can also be the focal point of your independent studio, featuring MIDI I/O, 4 TRS CV jacks (8 TS outputs with breakout adapters), Bluetooth® MIDI, and Ableton Link, or connect to your computer and operate the MPC software as a plug-in within your preferred DAW.

The MPC Key 37 comes preloaded with a range of sounds and samples from Akai MPC's popular plugins. You can enjoy eight plugin instruments like Hype, Odyssey, Mellotron and more, along with over 8GB of production-ready samples and drum kits, offering more than 1000 presets that are ready to use.

Its cutting-edge vocal FX plugins will also help you create unique sounds that will make your music stand out from the crowd.

CONNECTIVITY 

The MPC Key 37 has a synth action keybed with aftertouch, pitch, and modulation wheels. The keyboard action is intended to offer a responsive feel for players and producers, whether they're recording basslines or rocking out synth leads.
