Designed to revolutionize workflows, the new Akai Professional MPC Key 61 introduces more than 6,000 inspiring sounds, a range of must-have virtual instruments and a comfortable, expressive 5-octave keyboard to the legendary MPC platform.

Let your creativity wander with new instruments like OPX-4, a four operator FM synth with deep, flexible waveshaping and a dual-mode filter path with 23 different filters to choose from. If you’re looking for keys, Stage Piano and Stage EP have you covered. Offering up four beautifully articulated acoustic pianos and five classic electric pianos, these plug-ins give you access to a whole range of sound shaping parameters, including age, mechanics and more, to dial in the perfect sound for your next production. Fabric XL, the flagship of Akai’s growing plug-in library, is built on a powerful multi-sample synthesis engine, with over 1270 presets ranging from pads to basses to keys to all the classic poly and lead synth sounds you could need.

What more can be said about the MPC’s legendary sequencing and sampling abilities? Having matured over more than thirty years, the quick, intuitive workflow at the core of MPC OS will have you creating immediately. Offering 128 MIDI tracks, 8 plugin instrument and audio tracks and a range of powerful effects, MPC Key 61 is the perfect platform to take your ideas from start to finish. If you’re looking to integrate with other hardware, MPC Key 61’s advanced I/O, which includes 8 dedicated CV/Gate outputs, hooks up to your other gear with ease.

We invited producer Tim Kelley, previously of Tim & Bob, who’s worked with artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Sisqo and 112, to create a sequence for us and share his first impressions.
