Description
Brand New Unit.
Akai Professional has combined its legendary MPC platform with a keyboard workstation for the first time! The new MPC Key 61 is one of the most feature-packed standalone production tools ever produced. Akai's MPC changed music forever in the late '80s once pop and hip-hop luminaries got their hands on it, and this MPC Key 61 features refined versions of MPC tools with additional pressure-sensitive velocity pads, pad memory, 63 function buttons, and much more. Use the MPC Key 61 as a standalone workstation; a controller/input for DAWs, MIDI devices, or hardware synths; as a sampler; and almost anything else. Moreover, MPC3 software provides integration with Native Instruments software instruments and expansions. The onboard LED display features a spacious 8.5-inch x 5.5-inch touchscreen, and the MPC’s 16GB flash storage comes loaded with 10GB of preinstalled content ready for use right out of the box. Plus, it’s easy to expand the MPC’s storage thanks to a Type-A slots for USB drives and a SD slot, a feature that Sweetwater MPC enthusiasts are excited to embrace. Legions of devotees are lining up to snag this piece of MPC innovation.
