Cool bit of tech. I added it to my son's Amazon Wishlist as a "someday if he starts getting serious about making music" but it's cool to see they also have the MPK Mini Plus that is still pretty expensive for us, but is a little more realistic. I never would have even known about these without your videos. Love how happy you're looking in the vids!
It's not cheap, but it's also not just a controler. You can make songs on it without a pc. :) And yeah. I'm enjoying myself because I was always first and foremost a musician :)
@@tubeyana I only used it once. What I can say is that my mpc x has superior pads to the key37. Not to say that the key37 is bad, but it's not the same quality and sensitivity. Thx btw :)
Great demo! The short cut to the browser is the menu button twice or shit menu once. But you might not know that coming from an MPC-X. O know this because the Live 2 has fewer buttons necessitating these types of short-cuts.
Got one 10 days ago. I like the fact that it can be played on its own, without having to connect to a computer. It takes a bit of getting used to if you are accustomed to having the usual rotary ADSR and Frequency/ Res type controls.
I own it and I love it definitely worth the money just know the more features you add to the key 37 the more your gonna pay hard drive and memory card slot they should have put double usb like the live 2
This MPC Iis perfect. Just add SSD drive for more storage . Browser button is now Load button. Save button actually saves time and improves workflow. I have ZERO complaints.
Nice beat and demonstration! I think some guys used a power pack on the mpc one to make it portable. Could be fun for making beats on the train or bus 🤣 Headphones, power pack and mpc key 37! Let's go! 😂 But I guess the mpc one would be more suitable for that purpose because of its size..
Mpc one is the most portable mpc afaik. But the issue is that it doesn't have a keyboard. And for people like me, that can't live without one - that's a deal breaker. So for me, this is the best creativity tool that I got in a while. And I have a ton of synths, keyboards and guitars. But this thing just slaps!
It's the smallest at least. I think the mpc live has a battery, hasn't it? Yeah but sure, the keys are a nice to have. Have a little USB keyboard/ controller for that. But most of time I program my stuff. Not good enough for playing😁
Why are you comparing it to the X? Also you can adjust the pad sensitivity in the preference menu. It’s the same pads just smaller. The load button is the browse button they just change the name on the key 37. You’ve had a MPC X for over 5 years & you don’t know a lot of basic stuff. With all that said, that beat was dope!!!😂
"the basic stuff" is that they renamed it.. how should I know that? I literally just got the unit. Thanks for the info. When it comes to the pads, I tried changing the sensitivity, but it still felt different compared to my MPC X. And I'm comparing the 2 units, because I have a ton of experience with the X.
Don't sleep on that speaker. The live II sounds better than any speaker I've ever heard in that size. Translates pretty well too. Goes against anything I've ever learned and believed in about cones and drivers in my 21ish years of messing with sound. The live II is heavy too. You're right about added weight... but I swear if it's not some cheap small controller from Akai, their stuff is usually heavy. I was surprised on how light the key 37 was. At first i wanted he speaker in the key 37, but then I realized I could care less. It's nice to have something smaller and lighter. I have ALL the newer MPC's and Force to compare them to for weight also a couple old MPK midi controllers. They add a layer of metal so the keybeds dont bend. Probably the same idea for the pads area so they can take a beating.
You might want to keep the Live 2 which is unparalleled for portability! It’s like trading in a mustang for a Camaro! Plus they will give you penny’s for your trade in.
Why tf would you trade in an MPC Live II for an MPC One with a controller attached tf to it???? That's essentially wtf a 37 key is. MPC Live Ii has more outs, more hard drive space space, prewired for 2nd ssd, has bigger screen, bigger buttons, more dynamic range on the i/o's. Plus that s8&& has speakers and lithium battery. An X cant even f8* with a Live II, in terms of features and mobility. You must be crazy af
Just a ramdom thought or comment..with the right rapper on that “simple” beat..it could be life changing. I guess obviously right. Idk just had a self reflecting moment. Like its so simple. Anyways, keep up the good work.
Musik is your first love 🙂 But that does not mean, that some day (when you income is generated by your musik skills again) you might come back to SC here and there. And looking from that distance to SC will be surely epic.
honestly, I couldn't care less about SC as a game, or CIG as a company. They will always find a way to turn content creators into PR, and restrict and ban the ones that are criticizing them. I don't want to have anything with that company, ngl.
@@GrumpyEyeAudio Yes I know, I know. But SC isnt a bad concept, the major money influx just leads to extreme bad project management, where the same idiots can do the same mistakes over and over again without facing any consequences. What I mean, with a calm mind you still can come back without having the inherhent force to play what you dont like because it is not the main content anymore. More like an outsider that knows the game and look at it without having to deal with all the idiots that get angry when disturbed from licking CIG boots.
I always say and stand by saying Mpc’s are not real magical Mpc’s without full transport and direction navigation buttons it slows down the work flow too much not to have all the buttons from the original 3000 etc. the touch screens are great but the feel and flow of the locate transport buttons and the navigation buttons to jump around the screen is still a great option that every Mpc should have from the start I have no idea why akai wants to force us to do everything on the touchscreen thats really less organic and kills the vibe of connecting to the work flow like it was originally intended and designed I think with some things if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it The full simple layout of the renaissance the first studio should be kept with just adding the touch a screen and touch strip I will never buy another Mpc unless it has full feel like the Mpc x and key 61 All the others are just travel devices And as for the price of the 37key it way too expensive to use as a midi controller for the software mode and the standard alone mode is not that powerful especially the warping they should offer a midi version of their units for those who prefer not to be in standalone
A touchscreen is way faster than any buttons will ever be. That’s why everyone has a touchscreen phone. The only thing buttons are better for are super fine increments which do not support the screen resolution of a touchscreen. I have seen guys with practice on the Key 37 fly around using the buttons and the touchscreen together
That beat though!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you best review for n the 37 so far in my opinion. I’m going with the 61 key

Load takes you to the browser
someone pointed that out already, but thx.
Sure but then you still have press further to find your project 😅
Man that is sweet!!!!!!!!!! Bam!!!!!🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎹🔊🎻🎧 Is this a review or a concert!!!! Man, you need a contract!!!!!!
Hahah thank you very much. Glad you liked it :)
That beat was nice asf. Dude you have some mega skills
Thank you very much :)
Great review, fire beat and skills!
By any chance, are you familiar with MPC One's pad sensitivity in comparison to these?
Thank you 👋

@GrumpyEyeAudio I see. If only new X didn't cost two fortunes... haha Thank you!
I got a MPC One, the pads are very responsive and easy to trigger.
Had it since 2022- my beloved workhorse. Purchased the Key 37 this month.

apparently he doesn’t like reading manuals.
But he loves registering products
I’ve only had mine for 3 days…the device is amazing…in soooo many ways.
I don’t even comment on videos but that cook up session at the beginning of the video was epic

Right when i was about to ask if guitar could be plugged in... Great job! Thanks 👍
🤔👍. Nice jam. Liked and subscribed. Ur lead technique is FIRE!
Nice Beat!! Just purchase one too, and I'm sold on it. Good vid bro
it's quite possibly the best creativity tool I have.. and trust me, I have more stuff than a person would ever need :D
You'll have fun with it!
I own it and I love it definitely worth the money just know the more features you add to the key 37 the more your gonna pay hard drive and memory card slot they should have put double usb like the live 2

@@janolat2519 I have a keystep, and I use it for programming arps and sequences only.. my fingers are too big for small keys and small keyboards lol
cool... as a "sometimes" amateur musician I always love getting new keyboards
It sound better than mpc x, it has that old mpc knock on the drums
Do I need a guitar amp to connect it into the mpc key 37?

Which MPC is you favorite?
That beat is fire, Brother! Do you rap as well?
Thank you very much :) I do rap, but I'm Serbian, so I only have a few songs in which I rap in english :) I'll release one soon :)
Dude, are you saving on your electric bill?! I mean, even with full brightness the video is daaaark...
Do a tutorial on how you made this beat it’s fire
Thank you very much :)
Idk if the tutorial is necessary because everything is shown in this video lol
Can you put/use fabric XL on it ?
yep
@@GrumpyEyeAudio Thank you.
do the pads have the option of "full level" button?
Yes
0:38
Did this guy really just register his product before making a beat? That’s sus AF
@@johnviera3884 yeah why? I already have an mpcx, so I know how to use the mpc lol
You Slap! Not the mpc 😂
How do you multiple samples???HELP
I’m trading my live 2 for this the only thing I would miss is phono jacks the 2 midi out ports and the the big pads

Is there a way to record vocals in stand alone mode?
Yes but you might need a preamp for that. MpcX or Mpc61 are better solutions if you want to do it all in standalone
@@GrumpyEyeAudio well I’m getting my mpc key 37 today,so that’s why I’m asking.I do have a XLR to jack converter plug.Could that do the trick?
This goes hard! Hell yeah!!
Just a ramdom thought or comment..with the right rapper on that “simple” beat..it could be life changing. I guess obviously right. Idk just had a self reflecting moment. Like its so simple. Anyways, keep up the good work.

Funny you said Yamaha was the worst keybed. It used to be Yamaha made keybeds for almost all synths
True.. but the modx7 has literally the worst keybed out there. I've played behringer synths with better keybeds than the modx7
U nice on the beat
Candy shop ‘inspired’ 😄
I always say and stand by saying Mpc’s are not real magical Mpc’s without full transport and direction navigation buttons
it slows down the work flow too much not to have all the buttons from the original 3000 etc.
the touch screens are great but the feel and flow of the locate transport buttons and the navigation buttons to jump around the screen is still a great option that every Mpc should have from the start I have no idea why akai wants to force us to do everything on the touchscreen thats really less organic and kills the vibe of connecting to the work flow like it was originally intended and designed
I think with some things if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it
The full simple layout of the renaissance the first studio should be kept with just adding the touch a screen and touch strip
I will never buy another Mpc unless it has full feel like the Mpc x and key 61
All the others are just travel devices
And as for the price of the 37key it way too expensive to use as a midi controller for the software mode and the standard alone mode is not that powerful especially the warping
they should offer a midi version of their units for those who prefer not to be in standalone

🔥
Fire beat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒
I never had the problems that you had
Go and adjust the pad sensitivity
why do you even compare it to an mpc x and complain about it? Thats ehy its a $900 gear and its not a $2000 + gear
The 37 and 61 is way better to me
Fantastic!
It's a good keyboard, but navigation is a mess
Learn the equipment before you give a review... the MPC KEY 37 has a One button browser location.... Click the " LOAD BUTTON to your top far Right!
Very do-e🔥🔥🔥🔥
Usb multi port
My mpcX is very uneven also
Pasado de verga , saludos desde México
JAJAJAJAJAAA....JAJAJAJAAAA...ANIMO CON ALEGRIAS...VERY GOOD...
