All the top synth company’s should hire this guy to do their synth sound demos. It makes a huge difference hearing decent playing and not just a blues/ pentatonic scale and a couple altered ii-V-I’s. Great demo.
Wanted to get some idea of the sounds but nearly quit when I saw how long the video was! Really glad I didn't. I used to have someone that would sit in the other room and secretly listen to me play for hours - I get it now. I would have (and probably will) watch this multiple times over - listening to you play will definitely be the highlight of my day. Cheers! (now off to buy a keyboard)😊
Came here to also say this was the best sound demo of the mpc key 37 I've watched yet. Now I know what it's capable of and can buy it knowing it can produce the sounds I'm looking for. Thank you.
@@TheChrisVella You're quite welcome. I must have watched 50 videos on the key 37 until I found one (this one) that finally put it through its proper paces. Nobody wants to play to keyboard anymore so I can hear how it sounds as a lead. Thankfully, you did.
AKAI is out to dominate the DAW-less creation station market. This is an excellent demonstration of the incredible sonic power that you get from this platform. Now they’re about to unleash a whole new level of possibilities w/ V3 update. I’ve owned synths and samplers of all kinds since the 1980s. There’s just no way that you can get more bang for your money than this!
Appreciate that Christopher! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I think it makes sense to show off such a great instrument with some playing. Thanks for stopping by man.
Thanks for the video. I was specifically looking for keyboarding scope instead of beatmaking. I wanted to listen to all the sounds and you’ve done great ❤
Awesome demo man, thanks alot! And lovely playing. One request though: could you please add to the description and to the time stamps that which plug-ins are included in the device and which ones must me purchased separately. I know you’ve mentioned it somewhere in the comment field, but having those in the description would seriously help newcomers. Thanks!
Thank you so much, just a display of what the unit can do, a lot less talking, some fine playing, Akai should be paying you, you've just sold another one of these for them.
Dope demonstration. Sounds like a powerful machine for the cost. I’m in awe of this. Better than depending on a computer. And you play pleasantly. Good job and thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to get one.
Cheers man, glad you enjoyed it! Safe to say it’s pretty powerful and becoming more and more useful. I hope you get the same enjoyment out of it as I did 😁
Cheers man, glad you enjoyed it! The stock plugins you get are Hype, Tubesynth, Odyssey, Solina, Mellotron, Drum Synth and Electric included. The rest are extra.
Thank you for the great demo👏It made me buy one too and I love it so far. ❤ What is the song you playing around 9:17 and with the Steinway? Sounds really nice. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you so much nice video, but I have a question how to find sound faster like by typing there names ? Is there a way to do this or I have to search for example the EDM CHORD preset by searching manual everywhere ?
@@TheChrisVella yes I know but it’s very strange they don’t have a way you can search sounds by name like any other keyboard any way thank you so much 🙏
@@TheChrisVellaWhat a fantastic video, superb playing - it inspired me to buy and mine arrived last night, thank you! I haven’t found how to make favourite sounds yet - do you know where or how to do it, please? Also, I’m thinking of adding a larger controller too - do you think there’s any advantage in getting Mpk261 other than your Novation SL? Many thanks again!
So currently you can only use the sounds built in to the Akai platform, and I don't believe you can layer multiple instruments. BUT, If you make a nice template with all your favourite sounds I'm sure it will make a great device for live use!
Great demo! Wanted to know that how did you connect the other keyboard and playing the same tones simultaneously? and also can you layer the tones like we do on workstations?
THis is a really great demo. Would really help if we could see layering - synth on piano, strings on piano, strings on pads .... Great to HEAR the sounds actually being PLAYED, though. Great vid 👍
I'm a heavy rock guitar player. Sometimes I play the keyboard. At that time, I use a stage keyboard or a synth based on computer. Anyway, there's a lot of equipment, and I'm having trouble setting it up and transporting it. The Komplete Kontrol S49 and Maschine Soft have a wide range of capabilities, but they are not suitable for live performances. The space and area required for installation is also very limited. I'm currently thinking that mpc37 might be the best solution. I would like to go to the practice studio by bicycle or train without a car. A car is another burden to pay for parking and space. It takes extra time and effort. MPC37 can play patterns and play the keyboard without using a computer.
Not too sure on this one to be honest man, but there’s plenty of sounds I’m sure one of them will be similar or you could probably design the sound directly.
@supek6190 Yeah Takitamayaternsil5628 has basically answered that for you. The 61 key is overall a heftier machine but I quite like the compactness of the 37 key so it depends what you need it for. But you can achieve a lot of similar things on both so it really depends on your budget at the end of the day.
I think an audio interface would be the way to go about recording the sounds! Can always connect the usb so you have midi capability in case you have any problems with timing or playing.
The Hype, Solina and Mellotron plugins are the only ones that're included for free with this right? We'd have to buy the other ones that you demo right?
Yeah it's quite a hefty plugin but to be fair I could probably work around it, I'd only end up using 1 or 2 instances of Fabric XL. and like Fmagic mentioned you can always use regular Fabric that will save you some memory, or you can always bounce down to audio! Cheers for stopping by man
Thanks for the demo of the MPC Key 37, but my question is about your dt770 headphones, do you use a headphone amp with those, or do you plug them straight into the MPC Key 37, I just want to know if the MPC Key 37 has enough power to run my dt770s.
I would say it holds up pretty well! Definitely enough quality to make some decent music from, I think it just requires some digging to find sounds that work for you as it’s absolutely stocked full of sounds. So some filtering will help. But there’s enough to keep you occupied for a while.
Are key 61 and key 37 for specific people. Are these good for live performance. Are these good for making just new noises or good for songs. I went to the music store and tried to make some music with the experience with Yamaha. Totally lost. Can Anybody help me . I like live performances.
You can actually get these plugins as vsts normally on your computer. They’re made by Air Music Tech and they’re pretty mediocre. It has some simple, quick usable stuff, some good synth emulations and sounds, but mostly terrible acoustic and realistic intruments. Of course the guy plays pretty well which makes any sound sound good.
The vsts definitely do the job in my experience. I was actually quite surprised that it included plugins I’m already familiar with! And cheers about the playing, I think even for people that don’t play too much can get away with creating some decent tunes on here.
I have to agree on the quality of the acoustic emulations. I think the pianos and rhodes are sort of unimpressive. Mostly in comparison to something like my Nautilus. I wouldn't waste my money on their "top level" piano/rhodes/strings. Not only that, they take up a ridiculous amount of the memory. The MPC can handle fine with 2gb of RAM until you bring the Fabric and Studio Strings into the mix. The Stage versions are good enough. Overpriced, still. As far as the synths, they're good. If the user understands how synthesis works it's pretty easy to get good sounds out of them. The presets are pretty obnoxious in a lot of cases though haha.
Not value for money? I prefer mobility but really not willing to spend too much. Also, i dont trust software version on this. What if it becomes laggy overtime. Laptops come with constant software updates
Because it’s literally has the same software as a computer . It runs the MPC 2 software , I have a Mack book and a alesis vi25 midi keyboard with 16 MPC style pads . I have all the VST’s he’s using because it’s within the software, I have it and tons more
tip. When playing guitar sounds try to play like how you would an actual guitar (if you know how). Playing it like a keyboard doesn't do it enough justice imo. All the sounds are very nice though. Great demo/review.
Very good point! Sometimes I get carried away with just playing regardless of the sound but that's very true! Thanks for the heads up and appreciate the kind words :)
May be a matter of preference but i found this extremely ugly. I’d anyday prefer a white or a black. Is that available? Also hows the key feel compared to kronos (if u hv played)
I don't mind the colour tbh, most of the things I have are black or white so I found it quite nice to have something in red! But I believe thats the only colour.
Ennnnh😴 the sounds of a synth no longer impress me (and these even less). Especially when most phone apps have equal to better sounds. For me it’s the functionality, usefulness and layout that really raise my eyebrow. That said, I’d buy this synth for 10/10 in all three of those categories.
Yeah I think it serves a specific function. And might not be for everybody even if you’ve worked on other systems/ DAW’s. But I think for what you get in the package it’s quite decent.
Ahh I see, so the sounds I played in this video are actually VST’s that generate the sounds as you can go in and tweak them. But they also have a collection of samples you could use or create a sampled instrument. I believe the sampled instrument is only off a single sample as opposed to multi sampled though.
The best demo I've seen of the MPC Key 37. These on-board plug-ins sound incredible!

Can you make multisamples? On each keyboard key a different wav sample? Great video. Best regards
I don’t think you can make multi samples stuff but I’ll have to look into it
You can ; look up 'mpc autosampler' ...
DOPE!
Cheers dude!
Just came across this as a possible live instrument for me. Cab we load VST's (Pianoteq/Hammond B3x) into it too, and layer multiple instruments?
So currently you can only use the sounds built in to the Akai platform, and I don't believe you can layer multiple instruments. BUT, If you make a nice template with all your favourite sounds I'm sure it will make a great device for live use!
Oh you better do this with an iPad and a App Like Camelot pro
Great demo! Wanted to know that how did you connect the other keyboard and playing the same tones simultaneously? and also can you layer the tones like we do on workstations?
I have it hooked up simply with a MIDI cable from the MPC to the Novation SL. I don't believe you can currently layer sounds.
@@TheChrisVella so its direct plug and play with midi cable?

Awesome demo, thanks! Are all these plug-ins included ?
Not all of them! I’ve mentioned below in the comments which ones are included.
Hello. Thank you for the demo. How much difference it is with 61 keys version in terms of the sounds?
I believe the sounds are the same! But there are some additional purchases for some of the plugins.
Is there a sound pack you can get for a DX-7? That will decide if i can get one of these or not.
Nevermind i looked it up myself……yes there is definitely a download its called mpc d7 and its hundreds of dx7 sounds!!!
You got to it before I did! But yes there's some really great packs out there for it!!

I'm a heavy rock guitar player. Sometimes I play the keyboard.

What actually comes with the key 37 right out of the box before downloading any other plug ins? Is there still a decent variety of sounds?
I believe you get Hype, Tubesynth, Odyssey, Solina, Mellotron, Drum Synth and Electric!
are all these sounds already included in the unit or yo have to pay extra for each and everyone of these?
There’s a mix of both paid and included, I believe I’ve mentioned them below in the comments!
Hey Chris--what's your opinion: would this keyboard be suitable for live performance?
I think it would be! You might be a little limited on the keyboard size but you can always pair it with a larger keyboard! But sounds-wise it’s top!
Does it have the famous Deadmau5 pluck.
My Korg Kross 2 has it. I want to trade it in for this MPC. Mainly for its numerous plugins and easy workflow.
Not too sure on this one to be honest man, but there’s plenty of sounds I’m sure one of them will be similar or you could probably design the sound directly.
this sounds fantastic- are all these sounds included or do you buy them ?

What do you like better between the mpc key 37 and mpc key 61? Is 37 keys enough?
With the 61 ya become exactly more software with, more ram, more io, and the physical slider! Any Question more? 😁

I think an audio interface would be the way to go about recording the sounds! Can always connect the usb so you have midi capability in case you have any problems with timing or playing.
Thanks for your excellent video. Does the Steinway, C7 and Chocolate come with the MPC or does it need to be purchased?

Just an FYI, there's a lite version of the Fabric library that can be used as well so as to not take up as much resources and loads faster as well.
