For a long time, at first we just sat and looked at the package. That “wrapping” is maybe the best designed box we have ever seen. What to say and where to begin… it’s a whole sensory and satisfactory experience…įrom the moment you start taking the AKAI box out of the fantastic “Thomann” box you can sense the perfection.

What is more, additional synthesizers and interfaces can be connected via the USB, MIDI, and CV/gate connections.ĪKAI mpc keys. For (pre-)production purposes, these can be arranged in eight audio tracks alongside the 128 MIDI tracks provided by the sequencer. The workstation is equipped with an audio interface that has two high-quality microphone preamps which can be used to record samples as well as complete vocal and instrumental parts. The instruments and sample sets can be mixed internally on the device and edited using a selection of over 100 effects. 25 plug-in engines have been integrated that place a wide range of acoustic instruments, electric pianos, synthesizers, and drums at the user's fingertips. With 4GB of RAM, a Quad ARM processor, WLAN/Bluetooth connectivity, and an SATA slot, it offers an even higher performance capability than the existing MPC devices. The MPC Key 61 features a keyboard with 61 velocity-sensitive keys together with 16 dynamic sample pads, and the device also features aftertouch sensitivity (monophonic for the keyboard and polyphonic for the pads).
