Akai Professional's MPC Key 61 is the first autonomous workstation combining a 61-key semi-learned keyboard and the legendary workflow MPC. Designed to offer a complete and powerful work platform, it integrates more than 25 high-quality instrument plugins, thousands of presets, and hundreds of effects. This production station is intended for contemporary music producers and creators who are looking for a versatile and powerful tool to produce professional productions.
True to the legacy of MPCs, the MPC Key 61 perpetuates the tradition of innovation and quality that has shaped musical production since the 1980s. It combines the famous MPC sequencer with new mixing plugins and high-level virtual instruments, thus widening creative possibilities. Among the integrated plugins are the powerful Fabric XL, which offers advanced synthetic motors and sampled acoustic instruments. With over 6,000 presets, the MPC Key 61 provides a comprehensive sound library to stimulate producer inspiration and creativity.
The MPC Key 61 is equipped with a semi-league keyboard of 61 notes with aftertouch, offering a dynamic and expressive gaming experience. The 16 bike-sensitive RVB pads, coupled with the integrated transport system and the MPC workflow, make it easy to create rhythms and sequences. The user interface is based on a 7-inch multi-touch screen and four programmable Q-Link rotary encoders, ensuring accurate and intuitive parameters control. Thanks to its numerous connections, including USB, MIDI, and CV/Gate, as well as its high-quality microphone preamps and WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, the MPC Key 61 integrates perfectly into any studio environment, making it a cornerstone of modern musical production.
