Legions of devotees are lining up to snag this piece of MPC innovation — order yours today!Endless ways to sample and create Together, MPC software and keyboard workstation tools are a force to be reckoned with. There are endless ways to apply the MPC Key 61. You can use it as a sampler, as a controller for analog synths, as a MIDI controller in a DAW, or simply as a standalone production studio using onboard sounds, instruments, and software plug-ins. The device has a plethora of I/O options: dedicated 5-pin MIDI in, out, and thru, two USB-A slots, eight CV/Gate outputs for connecting modular analog gear, two combo XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs, and much more. Plus, the MPC Key 61 supports Ableton Link over Wi-Fi so you can wirelessly connect with and use Ableton Link supported apps.Tailor-made for production with dedicated OS and RAM With so many features onboard, the Akai MPC Key 61 ensures lightning-fast performance via onboard RAM and a dedicated operating system powering its tools. In short, it’s a standalone computer built for music production — no PC, extra software, or purchases necessary. And while it's a fiercely independent device, the MPC Key 61 also plays well with others with endless ways to connect analog and digital devices. Modular storage with limitless sample size The MPC Key 61’s 16GB flash storage comes preloaded with roughly 10GB of classic Akai content. Expanding the onboard storage with your samples, sequences, and more is easy by using the two USB 3.0 slots for thumb drives or a built-in slot for adding a dedicated solid-state or hard disk drive. Such features make the MPC Key 61 practically future proof with plenty of ways to ensure storage never runs low. What's more, the MPC Key 61 places no limit on sample sizes — the only thing that will ever restrain your sample size is available storage space, which means more room for experimentation and high-quality audio.Generous track allotments The MPC Key 61’s sky-high track count gives creators incredible room for self-expression. Hardware sequences can contain up to eight audio tracks, while a sequence in the MPC software can contain 128 audio tracks. Up to 128 MIDI/drum/VST tracks at 16-, 24-, or 32-bit resolutions up to 96kHz are possible as well. And that’s far from this device’s limit. There’s additional support for up to eight stereo tracks and another 128 MIDI/drum/VST tracks from external hardware. Subtle features like these are just one peek at what’s made the MPC essential hardware for producers, beat creators, and artists of all kinds for decades.The MPC legacy Picture this: the year is 2007. A 60 Minutes camera zooms in on Kanye West as he taps out a simple beat on an Akai MPC. Interviewer Bob Simon remarks, “I don’t think anyone would believe you’re doing that all from this one rhythm machine.” And yet, it was true. Indeed, the MPC platform’s tools built some of the most memorable hip-hop tracks of all time, a big reason why it continues to be a popular choice for both beginners and professionals. Now, the Key 61 version builds on that MPC’s legacy with an array of features not found on previous models.Akai Professional MPC Key 61 Features: Standalone music production center — no computer required Sequence, sample, or connect to a DAW, MIDI device, or analog synth hardware Backlit LED-color display with touch control MIDI In/Thru/Out 16 pressure-sensitive pads (RGB-backlit), 8 banks, and 63 function buttons 4 fully assignable, touch-sensitive Q-Link knobs for any parameters 8 configurable CV/Gate outputs for modular gear control Hardware supports up to 8 audio tracks while software supports up to 128 audio tracks and 128 software MIDI / drum / VST / keygroup / CV tracks 16GB flash memory with a SATA slot for adding a SSD or HDD Ableton Link and Bluetooth 4.0 support Wide assortment of I/O including USB, XLR, 1/4-inch, TRS, and more 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch headphone outputs Power supply included Includes 2 licenses for MPC software SpecificationDetail Type Keyboard Workstation Sound Engine 25 Plugin Instrument Engines Analog/Digital Digital Number of Keys 61 Type of Keys Semi-weighted Aftertouch Yes Velocity Sensitive Yes Other Controllers Pitchbend, Mod wheel, Assignable Touch Strip, Assignable Q Link Controller knobs Pads 16 x RGB Velocity-sensitive MPC Drum Pads Number of Presets Over 6000 Sequencer 8-track Audio, 128-track MIDI Sampling Full MPC Sampling Audio Recording 24-bit Audio Interface Memory 4GB RAM Storage 32GB internal storage (15GB free for user), Dedicated SATA bay for SSD expansion Audio Inputs 2 x XLR-1/4" combo Audio Outputs 4 x 1/4" Headphones 1 x 1/4" USB 2 x Type A, 1 x Type B Bluetooth Yes MIDI I/O In/Out/Thru/USB Pedal Inputs 3 x 1/4" (sustain, footswitch, expression) Other I/O 8 x CV/Gate, Ethernet Network Port Features 7" Multi-touch LED Display Software MPC2 Software Power Source Standard IEC AC cable Height 3.8" Width 38.8" Depth 12.3" Weight 17.9 lbs.
