Akai MPC Key 37 SLAPS! | Honest Review 

Cool bit of tech. I added it to my son's Amazon Wishlist as a "someday if he starts getting serious about making music" but it's cool to see they also have the MPK Mini Plus that is still pretty expensive for us, but is a little more realistic. I never would have even known about these without your videos. Love how happy you're looking in the vids!

Thank you best review for n the 37 so far in my opinion. I’m going with the 61 key

That beat though!! 🔥🔥🔥

Man that is sweet!!!!!!!!!! Bam!!!!!🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎹🔊🎻🎧 Is this a review or a concert!!!! Man, you need a contract!!!!!!

Nice Beat!! Just purchase one too, and I'm sold on it. Good vid bro

I’ve only had mine for 3 days…the device is amazing…in soooo many ways.

That beat was nice asf. Dude you have some mega skills

Great demo! The short cut to the browser is the menu button twice or shit menu once. But you might not know that coming from an MPC-X. O know this because the Live 2 has fewer buttons necessitating these types of short-cuts.

I own it and I love it definitely worth the money just know the more features you add to the key 37 the more your gonna pay hard drive and memory card slot they should have put double usb like the live 2

Do I need a guitar amp to connect it into the mpc key 37?

How do you multiple samples???HELP

cool... as a "sometimes" amateur musician I always love getting new keyboards

do the pads have the option of "full level" button?

Nice beat and demonstration! I think some guys used a power pack on the mpc one to make it portable. Could be fun for making beats on the train or bus 🤣 Headphones, power pack and mpc key 37! Let's go! 😂 But I guess the mpc one would be more suitable for that purpose because of its size..

U nice on the beat

Don't sleep on that speaker. The live II sounds better than any speaker I've ever heard in that size. Translates pretty well too. Goes against anything I've ever learned and believed in about cones and drivers in my 21ish years of messing with sound. The live II is heavy too. You're right about added weight... but I swear if it's not some cheap small controller from Akai, their stuff is usually heavy. I was surprised on how light the key 37 was. At first i wanted he speaker in the key 37, but then I realized I could care less. It's nice to have something smaller and lighter. I have ALL the newer MPC's and Force to compare them to for weight also a couple old MPK midi controllers. They add a layer of metal so the keybeds dont bend. Probably the same idea for the pads area so they can take a beating.

Load takes you to the browser

Got one 10 days ago. I like the fact that it can be played on its own, without having to connect to a computer. It takes a bit of getting used to if you are accustomed to having the usual rotary ADSR and Frequency/ Res type controls.

That beat is fire, Brother! Do you rap as well?

It sound better than mpc x, it has that old mpc knock on the drums

🔥

Why are you comparing it to the X? Also you can adjust the pad sensitivity in the preference menu. It’s the same pads just smaller. The load button is the browse button they just change the name on the key 37. You’ve had a MPC X for over 5 years & you don’t know a lot of basic stuff. With all that said, that beat was dope!!!😂

Can you put/use fabric XL on it ?

Do a tutorial on how you made this beat it’s fire

Is there a way to record vocals in stand alone mode?

Very do-e🔥🔥🔥🔥

My mpcX is very uneven also

I’m trading my live 2 for this the only thing I would miss is phono jacks the 2 midi out ports and the the big pads

That beat is TIGHT nice beat 😂😂😂

Musik is your first love 🙂 But that does not mean, that some day (when you income is generated by your musik skills again) you might come back to SC here and there. And looking from that distance to SC will be surely epic.

I never had the problems that you had

Go and adjust the pad sensitivity

Funny you said Yamaha was the worst keybed. It used to be Yamaha made keybeds for almost all synths

I always say and stand by saying Mpc’s are not real magical Mpc’s without full transport and direction navigation buttons it slows down the work flow too much not to have all the buttons from the original 3000 etc. the touch screens are great but the feel and flow of the locate transport buttons and the navigation buttons to jump around the screen is still a great option that every Mpc should have from the start I have no idea why akai wants to force us to do everything on the touchscreen thats really less organic and kills the vibe of connecting to the work flow like it was originally intended and designed I think with some things if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it The full simple layout of the renaissance the first studio should be kept with just adding the touch a screen and touch strip I will never buy another Mpc unless it has full feel like the Mpc x and key 61 All the others are just travel devices And as for the price of the 37key it way too expensive to use as a midi controller for the software mode and the standard alone mode is not that powerful especially the warping they should offer a midi version of their units for those who prefer not to be in standalone

Usb multi port

It's a good keyboard, but navigation is a mess

This MPC Iis perfect. Just add SSD drive for more storage . Browser button is now Load button. Save button actually saves time and improves workflow. I have ZERO complaints.

why do you even compare it to an mpc x and complain about it? Thats ehy its a $900 gear and its not a $2000 + gear

JAJAJAJAJAAA....JAJAJAJAAAA...ANIMO CON ALEGRIAS...VERY GOOD...
