The Akai MPC Key 61 has arrived... Whew!!! First of all mad congrats my brother for getting your hands on this new revolutionary product from Akai. It is most certainly a mixed bag of beauty and braun with the eye-pleasing yet informative touchscreen interface and power-to-the-people approach... giving the user all the tools one could dream of in a standalone keyboard workstation to back up the smoke. And it must not go without mentioning how well you put this video together with all the engaging eye-candy such as your intro, the consecutive transitions that dovetailed thereafter, and simply put... the overall video production. You also highlighted some great picks for what is to love about the Akai Key 61, that most certainly will facilitate ease of use while streamlining music production when inspiration strikes. Especially that Retrospective Record that I consider priceless for those once in a lifetime riffs & shreds when they happen... Nice!!! And your work on the keys can not be overlooked, which was hella-nice while you cooked up a quick demo... that sounded very much like an old Prince classic to me at least known as "Do Me, Baby". You know you showing out, but I ain't mad atcha... hahaha. With that I'll say as always... keep the awesome product reviews coming my bro.
My man Deleswa, where do I start? 🤣 your comments are always so very detailed and real. First off thanks so much for always support the channel. Your kind words on my playing. I need to practice more to be honest. As for my video editing I’m getting better ❤️🩹 learning all the time and trying to apply what I’ve learned. I Lov sharing knowledge so I’m glad to show what I’ve discovered as I work with my gear. Iron 🔪 sharpens iron 🔪 Looking forward to using your construction kit in my next video. Thx 🙏🏾 for sending it to me! 👊🏾🔥
@@IMakeBeats I enjoy watching you work bro. Yesir. No worries on the construction kit. I appreciate you taking the time to put something together to show how you used it. Looking forward to that as well.
Regarding picking your favorite clav: on the main page press the four little squares then click expansions. On the top middle there is a bar where you can enter the name of whatever instrument you're searching. No need to load just press the preview/play button on the touch screen.
@DubCue, lol yes “Retrospective” record is a game Changer for standalone. It for sure add to the workflow in a positive way. Thanks 🙏🏾 for always supporting the channel by watching and commenting it really means a lot and helps the video get seen by more viewers 👊🏾🎹
I just wanna say THANK YOU for showcasing the #1 thing I've asked so many youtubers to post. As simple as you just did, I've asked various YT ppl including Mac from akai to show even just a small clip of the keys triggering drums/samples we load. NO ONE has loaded said video yet. Another feature I didn't know was featured was the retrospective recording recall. I would think that would be mentioned by various YT ppl. I could have missed it but I found it here. So thanks. Dope music in this video
@MP MI it’s really nice to get a comment where the person really shows that they appreciate the thought 💭 and hard work that we creators invest in our videos. So thank you for the kind heart felt words. I’m glad that I showed something that you’ve wanted to see. As for the (retrospective record) ya I’m like totally Lovin that function. It comes in handy when your working out you next sound idea 💡 and you play it right by mistake🤣 you can lock 🔒 it in and proceed on to the next etc. thx 🙏🏾 again for stopping by!

A lot of beatmakers who aren’t good keyboard players typically argue you don’t need the Key 61. All your need is a MPC with a MIDI keyboard. I came to the MPC from a digital piano and I think the Key 61 is the keyboard I’ve always wanted but wasn’t available at an affordable price until now. Since you play, I think you get the Key 61 more so than those who are coming from a MPC with limited keyboard skills.
Hey 👋🏾 @Matthew Gaines appreciate u stopping by. I’m glad that you see the mpc key 61 as the keyboard 🎹 that u believe is the one for you. Do you have plans of getting one ☝️? I do hope you do. My first mpc was the X, then the One. Now to me I have the best of both 🌍 worlds. Most mpc owners as u said are only focused on sample based beat making. But there are a few of us dinosaurs 🦕 that like to combined the two styles. I love workstations always have. But for me, it does go without saying, a workstation without the keys 🎹 section is missing an important part to which makes it a workstation. I would rather not have to put up with always having to connect a midi controller and just play. But everyone is different and playing like I say again isn’t most mpc owners Main focus. Let me know when u get the Key 61 would Lov to hear 👂 back from you when u do!
@@IMakeBeats I need to sell or get rid of something to make room. My stands are full but that is the plan. Like yourself, I like workstation keyboards. My plans are to use the keyboards and synthesizers I have to sample in keygroups as needed and use the Key 61 and MPCs to compose using those keygroups.
The retrospective record was one of my favorite new features because I used that all the time on Ableton Live so seeing that on the standalones is pushing it way up there. All we need now is that force arranger and disk streaming!! Also great job on the new thumbnails I can see your graphic design improving every video 🔥🔥
Hey thx 🙏🏾 @Charlie Smith I agree the retrospective functionality is a game changer to say the least! As for my thumbnails and video editing, I’m always trying to get Better. So ya still a work In Progress but I’m working at it! But appreciate the kind words. I’m learning from watching other bigger TH-camrs taking notes and trying to apply them to my channel. 🤣
@@IMakeBeats well, nobody said that they do so I was just informing that it’s not just the key 61 that Also own that have it but also the other Models. Shalom!!
Someone may have already mentioned this in your comments but if you go to the main page and press the plug-in button, select your plugin and when you use the scroll to go down or up you can press the keys and get the sound of that particular plugin in real time without loading it
@@IMakeBeats Good luck! That's the benefit of plugins over key groups. Not all key groups but some need to be loaded or as plugins can simply be played.
Kai Kai Kai ....this is one of my best reviews ....ur presentation ....super. I have Kronos n Korg Pa4x both of which are incredible but u have really helped Akai to bring me closer to liking their product. Wow. Clap for u bro. I lyk ur figereing ur talk. I recommend Akai to employ as as an official reviewer or product manager. Wwwwwooooow. Kai
@Christian Amoah I’m humbled by your kind words. I’m glad that you’ve enjoy my video.

The competition is tough, thanks for sharing, who knows, i may end up with one as well. Ive got some options that Im pondering on. Thanks Sir nice review.
My man @Studio Gangsta, I can honestly say for myself starting off with the MPC X, the mpc one ☝️ and now the MPC key 🎹, the X has nothing on it! It’s better built quality and at some point you will need a keyboard. It sucks trying to play notes on pads. Ya it’s a beast for sure and now it’s the new flag ship no doubt! I hope you get one bro! Thx 🙏🏾 for always stopping by and supporting the channel 👊🏾
I plan on buying this tomorrow If you have seen the akai video for the 37 it has tape delay effects stutter effects etc does the 61 have this as well ?
@@gnhard87 yes but they can all have it if you buy that effect plugin! Or use your free plugin voucher to get it! 👊🏾. So ur getting the key 61 or the key 37? Yes i also have the key 37 as well i just did a video a few days ago! Check it out! 👊🏾
@@IMakeBeats I think im getting the 61 but the akai video I saw Andy Mac but those effects on the song and they are used in almost every song used nowadays .. I was comparing the differences.

I’m really loving the integrated piano 🎹 keys with the mpc workflow.
Well, that retrospective recording is absolutely bananas. Such a cool feature… IDK if this is an akai innovation or not but hell yeah, it can help a lot for sure. It is similar feature to ps4’s background video recording to make every cool happening always available for sharing.
Hey 👋🏾 @MaverickM1 appreciate you stopping by to watch and comment! Hope you consider subscribing 👍🏾. I totally agree that feature is dope and saves a lot of time when your in your groove. I’m hoping to have more videos like this one on the way with other gear ⚙️ soon! 👊🏾

I’m surprised playing drums on keys is a thing as it’s been possible since the Triton at least from my experience, the Roland x6 had skip back sampling that captured those noodles like retrospective record. My Mpc Keys should be here next week.

👋🏾 hey thx for stopping by. After 12 yrs even now, no keyboard 🎹 on the market can come close too the sounds of the Kronos 🤷🏾 Sound wise the Kronos is still 👑 King!
Sorry man but the strings on the Akai cannot compete in anyway with what comes out of the Korg Nautilus HD1 engine. Unless a new, better, strings plugin becomes available for the Akai its the one thing that puts me off getting the machine. The single feature I am most jealous of in the Akai though? The piano roll and automation control. Simply, Nautilus is way behind the curve here now.
@EdgyNumber I totally agree! I never said otherwise! I own the Korg Kronos II and as for sounds it is still King! But for Akai the strings that they have are good for the Akai Line. Since the Key 61 is there first keyboard workstation they aren't bad. But no, they don't compete with the Korg Nautilus nor the Kronos Not on their best day! But like you said the MPC Key/Mpc's do have some cool features I wish also Korg would catch up on. When they abandoned the Kronos, I Knew it was time for me to find another keyboard to sequencing on. The OS on the Korg is outdated and if only they would have just given us that, an up-to-date operating system, to make sampling and sequencing faster, the korg could have been one of the best keyboard workstations every! But til this day there isn't a keyboard that can compete with sounds. Nothing out there has the quality of the Kronos series. Thanks for stopping by, hope you consider subscribing if you haven't already.
@AYERS LLC long time no hear 👂 glad to see a comment from you. Im glad you liked the video. Ive got alot of gear ⚙️ reviews since u last stopped by, so be sure to check them out as well and let me know your thought! 👊🏾🧨
Here is the issue with synths and all of you should address these brands...Ok, so people apparently want their synths to do mostly everything desktop computers can do,yet there'task

First off, thx for stopping by! I’m going to respond to your negativity with positivity. Secondly, the video is time Stamped! 🤔 so if you don’t want to watch the part I’m talking about, just skip ⏭ to the section your most interested in.

The first con is a terrible one. I hope they fix that. Previewing sounds and searching for a particular instrument by typing it in is essential.
@Miguel Henry I totally agree, that’s why I mentioned it. It’s a must have! There are too many categories not to have that simple but much needed feature! 👊🏾
“Talk to the hand..”
I don’t get ur meaning? But thx for stopping by! 🤙🏾
@@IMakeBeats no offense intended: it is an Arnold Schwarzenegger line from Terminator 3. In most youtube clips, the producer makes at least a brief appearance, but all we see is your disembodied hands, sort of like haunted hands. Your labels, transitions, close-ups of equipment are very professional; I just kept waiting for you to appear. Thanks for the video: very informative and helpful.
@@mikegriffin732 That made me laugh. Yes, talk to the hands 🤣 Well like @Loopop, who also never shows his face I figured it's better to see the thing not the person. Again, thanks for stopping by and for the kind words concerning my video editing and quality.
I'm still learning how to be a youtuber. One day at a time, hope you consider subscribing. More videos on the way! 😄
FOR SOMEBODY WHO MAKES BEATS AND DEALS WITH SOUND FOR A LIVING ITS CANNY FUNNY THE SOUND IN THIS VIDEO IS ALL OVER THE PLACE
First of all, i dont do this for a living! I enjoy music. Secondly, i never said i was an expert, its a consistent learn and growing experience.
Interesting to me how u feel like u can speak 🗣️ to the quality of my videos but dont have any of ur own! Why dont u post some videos and show me how it’s supposed to be done, since u know so much more about music and sound! 👍🏾 don’t worry i will wait! 🤔
@@IMakeBeats ooh did i touch a nerve
@user-ug7km1tw2w nope 👎🏾 just keeping it real! Im still waiting to hear ur sound! 🤣
Stop waving your hands
How about u with ur two subscribers stop watching my videos. You don’t have to watch them since my hands bother you so much! Just don’t watch! People like u are haters and a waste of time! Good day! 🤣
Get to the point...2 minutes intro and 'please donate' stuff...
First off, thx for stopping by! I’m going to respond to your negativity with positivity. Secondly, the video is time Stamped! 🤔
so if you don’t want to watch the part I’m talking about, just skip ⏭ to the section your most interested in.
I find it so funny how the haters are always people that don’t have not one video on their channel but tryin to coach you about how to do your channel. Glad you enjoyed the content! 👍🏾🎹
@@IMakeBeatsPlease accept my honest apologies, you are right...i didn't notice the timestamps and wether there where timestamps or not i should not have been express myself like that..., it was a bad moment of mine...i am not a hater...not a creator either...i am just a consumer looking for content...thanks for responding in such a positive way...you made me think twice...
Wow now that’s a real Person that will admit when they are wrong! It’s all good my friend. You would be surprised how often this kind of comments pop up for us creators. Most of us are still learning and growing in this whole TH-cam journey.
So again thanks for coming back and saying what you just said. I receive that from you and only wish you the best!
I’ve only had my channel for 3yrs now on the 27th of this month sept 2022 just made 3 yrs. So I’m learning from the bigger channels and trying to not only educate and entertain, but always create a successful TH-cam channel from A monetized point of view! This gear ⚙️ and equipment isn’t cheap!
So any help from my viewers and subscribers is always welcomed 🙏🏾 but I’m learning that closed 👄mouths don’t get fed so I’ve watched and I’m learning from the bigger channel that it’s best to plug this into the video early on rather than at the end!
Anyways hope you consider subscribing and I appreciate you! 👊🏾
@@IMakeBeats I appreciate your words and now i can realize your efforts to make valuable content...which is what i am looking for anyway...so i will subscribe and keep watching your videos and wish you to evolve to a great channel...
@@ManontheBroadcast thx 🙏🏾 I’m really trying! I have a full time job, I do this because I love music and I Lov to share as well. All the equipment that I show in my videos, I purchased myself. None of was given to me or sponsored. A lot of ramen 🍜 noodles instead of steak 🥩 and egg 🍳 but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make to be apart of a community of like minded people. So thx for the sub and the positive energy.
In 3 yrs time I’ve grown a lot. Still on the path. So much more to learn and share 👊🏾
congrats on a new toy 🎛🎹🎹🎹🔥
are you going to replace your current master keyboard with it?
Hey 👋🏾 long time no see, appreciate you stopping by. To answer your question, no I’m still rocking with the Kronos, just as a sound module only. Nice 👍🏾 to see a comment from you again! Don’t stay away! 🎹👊🏾
