- When you buy the Akai MPC Key 37 what is included with the keyboard compared to what you have to buy for add-ons? In this video I walk through what instrument plugins, insert effects, drum expansion packs, and even hardware that comes included when you pick up the MPC Key 37.
While there are add-ons you can buy, particularly the extra instrument plugins and expansion packs, there's a ton that already comes included - definitely enough to make some amazing beats!

Not a very "quick" quick tip, but hope this video is helpful for those of you wondering what's included from the factory with the Akai MPC key 37! Plus some demos of the included instrument plugins! 🤩
MPC Key 37 include 8(+1) plugins (the lack of FabricXL hurts.). MPC Key 61 include 25 plugins. If you buy all plugins for Key 37 it will be very expensive, so it follows that Key 61 is a much better buy.
It’s kind of annoying if you would prefer the key 37 because of size.
The 61 is a better buy indeed, twice the memory, more buttons, and more expansions. I'm not complaining though, because the 37 is portable (usb power delivery power bank) and the 61 stays in place. Most of the plugins can be purchased on sale and/or in expansions for a couple hundred dollars total. Still comes out cheaper, but you do lose out on the extra Sample memory (mostly useful for layering more than 2 copies of piano, strings, and fabric xl)
Very cool video dude. Can’t wait to start messing with mine.
I love the way you teach! I'm watching a lot of MPC tutorial videos as i'm brand spanking new and just got the Akai MPC 37. I'm finding your tutorial videos so easy to follow compared to some others. I hope you continue showing tips and tricks with the MPC Key 37! Thank you.
Great review. You touched on a lot of what others don’t. It’s a MOAB definitely. Electronic/Techno producers DO NOT SLEEP on this workstation. It’s got music potential for producing all genres of music. I love it for its performance potential. Synth parameters are easy to access and manipulate. Not enough quick access control, easily route any external controller to do the job. The device is more than a beat machine/hiphop one stop.
I just purchased the Akai MPC Key 61 and have to wait to use it because when I purchased my Msound studio monitors I thought they came as a pair buy i only purchased one so gotta purchase the other as well as rca cables
I've purchased every MPC plug in available here and there along the way and I'm not mad about it. 😁 Some of them I got for free and others on sale.
Haha nice!
Sam Ash ordered my Akai on February 26, and it is now March 15th, but I still have not received it . I am thinking of going directly to the company. I am looking forward to testing and recording with it . Thank you for the run down .
Can You speak about the faktory keygroup sounds and how to use, quality etc?
Awesome
Thank you for the in depth look into it🙏🏼🙏🏼 what stand are you using?
I use the On-Stage KS7350: www.zzounds.com/a--518275/item--MUPKS7350?siid=33655
I've been using this one for many years and it's still holding up!
Great review! Do you know if there is a DX7 plug in for this.. I’ve searched and cant find it.
Thanks! I'm not aware that there is one.
Hey there are you doing a comparison of the MPC 61 against that one in the future? If not can you please give some info what is the best i like to create melody music i don't use daw maybe the the 61 is better for me i just need to see the differences because next week I'm going to buy one of these. Thank you in advance and God bless you and your family
I am! As luck would have it, that is the video am finishing up and plan to post later today!
Is it possible to record vocals with a xlr jack convert plug?
I would buy a converter for the mic. So i can use a powered microphone ..
What studio Headphones do you recommend or a couple you would recommend?
I am using the AKG K92's right now as my main studio headphones: www.zzounds.com/a--518275/item--AKGK92?siid=183450 I love them and got them for vocal recording so I get less bleed-through of the click track due to them being closed-back. I also have the semi open AKG K240's that I love as well, they are more expensive and semi-open, so I don't find them as good for recording vocals. Great for everything else though! www.zzounds.com/a--518275/item--AKGK240MKII?siid=59071
@@DSoundman Thank you for the response.. I really appreciate it! Go to go get a pair!
Hello there! Im really interested if i can connect Akai Professional MPC Key 37 to Boss Rc 505 MKII Loop Station?
Surely you can - it's the same system as RC-600, which I have, and it can be synced and audio interconnected. I chose MPC as master with midi sync out and record from RC to MPC.
I wish i could get this😞
Can I plug my guitar and foot pedal into this and have it record it?
Yeah you should be able to! The only thing I can think of is if your signal is too low from the guitar, you might need to use a compressor insert effect in the MPC to bump the volume up after recording it.
@@DSoundman Very interesting, thank you for the reply.
Still didn’t get my free plug in
It would be great if Akai show a demo on how to use a third party plug in MPC key 37 natural sounding VST instruments. ( Please avoid beat making any five year can do that i think)
Unfortunately using third party plugins isn’t possible inside the MPC Key…☹️ Only Akai plugins are allowed.
@@DSoundman thanks a lot buddy for the valuable insight..so that now i can decided to stick with Korg PA300.
Whats with the bullshit sounds? Why?
Can you integrate the key 37 with a daw like a mpc studio ?
Yes, it has direct usb midi ports in stand alone mode
Yes! I forgot to mention this in the video, but this also comes with the MPC 2 DAW!
@@DSoundman Nice video showcasing the abilities. Do you know how this would work with a MPC Live in standalone? Which unit would be the master? I like the idea because if you have 2 stand-alone, you will not have to worry about loading the keyboard VST's in the MPC Live. Just not sure how or if they can work together.
