Endless ways to sample and createTogether, 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: turntable inputs for vinyl samples, two MIDI ins, four MIDI outs, two USB-A slots, eight CV/Gate outputs for connecting modular analog gear, XLR, TRS, 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 RAMWith 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 sizeThe 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 allotmentsThe 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 requiredSequence, sample, or connect to a DAW, MIDI device, or analog synth hardware2-position backlit LED-color display with touch control2 MIDI inputs, 4 MIDI outputs16 pressure-sensitive pads (RGB-backlit), 8 banks, and 63 function buttons24 control knobs for gain, mix, levels, Q-Link parameter adjustment, and more8 configurable CV/Gate outputs for modular gear controlHardware supports up to 8 audio tracks while software supports up to 128 audio tracks and 128 software MIDI / drum / VST / keygroup / CV tracks16GB flash memory with a SATA slot for adding a SSD or HDDAbleton Link and Bluetooth 4.0 supportWide assortment of I/O including USB, XLR, 1/4-inch, TRS, and more1/4-inch and 1/8-inch headphone outputsPower supply includedIncludes 2 licenses for MPC software Tech SpecsType: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.
