Experience the power of sound.
The Akai Professional MPC Key 61 is a revolutionary standalone production synthesizer keyboard that provides everything you need to create professional tracks. It features a 61-key semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch, allowing you to add expression and dynamics to the 25 cutting-edge plug-in instruments. With over 6,000 presets and genres ranging from electronic to orchestral, you'll have an inspiring palette of sounds at your fingertips.
Expressive Keybed Brings Sounds to Life
The MPC Key 61's semi-weighted keys with aftertouch give you intuitive control over the onboard sounds. Add vibrato to strings, control the speed of an organ's rotary speaker or shape sounds in real time using the assignable Touch Strip controller. Pitch bend and modulation wheels provide further control for lead synths and more. The keybed's responsive, playable feel connects you creatively to the instrument.
Cutting-Edge Plug-in Instruments for Innovative Sound Design
Powered by 25 virtual instrument engines, the MPC Key 61 gives you a new dimension of sound. Each plug-in features deep editing parameters and modern effects for crafting your signature sounds. The synth Fabric XL delivers drones, basses, pads and more. Realistic pianos, EPs, strings and organs are also onboard. With over 100 effects like reverb, delay, compression and lo-fi processing, you can add texture and polish to your tracks.
Iconic MPC Pads and Workflow
The MPC Key 61 includes the iconic 16 RGB pads and renowned MPC workflow. Note Repeat, Full Level and 16 Levels provide rhythmic and tonal variety to your beats. Easily sequence drum patterns, trigger clips and write automation using the pads and touchscreen. With 128 MIDI tracks and eight audio tracks, you have the power to produce full tracks and the flexibility to capture any idea.
High-Quality Audio Interface for Recording
Two mic/line inputs with high-end preamps, 24-bit AD/DA converters and phantom power allow you to record vocals, guitars and other instruments with pristine quality.
