Akai Professional MPC Key 37 G2 Standalone Production Keyboard
The Akai Professional MPC Key 37 Generation 2 brings the MPC workflow to keyboard players who want to build ideas fast and finish songs in a standalone setup. With 37 synth-action keys combined with legendary MPC pads, it gives producers a hands-on way to write, sample, arrange, and perform without relying on a computer.
All-in-one MPC workflow for complete songs
Powered by Akai’s MPC3 OS, this powerful workstation is built for track-based and sample-based music production. The Linear Arranger helps you move beyond loops and shape full songs with a familiar, DAW-style feel. Because it can stand on its own, it suits producers who want to stay focused on the music without switching between devices and disrupting their flow.
Keys, pads, and performance control
The 37 synth-action keys with aftertouch give you expressive playability, while the 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB-backlit pads make beat programming feel immediate. Add pitch bend, modulation, and Q-Link controls, and you’ve got a layout that works well for writing melodies, triggering drums, and shaping sounds on the fly.
Akai Professional MPC Key 37 G2 for hybrid studios
For studio setups that mix hardware and software, the USB-C connection is a clean solution. It supports audio, MIDI, and data over a single cable, as well as Ableton Live Control Mode and project import/export. Sampling from phones, tablets, and external gear via USB-C also makes it easy to capture sounds and quickly turn them into new ideas.
Built-in eight-core processor for larger sessions
The G2 eight-core processor brings more room for bigger projects, with support for up to 16 stereo audio tracks and 32 plugin instances. Alongside 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage, the Akai Professional MPC Key 37 G2 is ready for producers who want a compact all-in-one system that can handle serious standalone sessions.
