Product Overview
Akai blends classic MPC performance with next-generation virtual instruments and effects to create the MPC Key 61 production synth.
You get all the hands-on control you expect from an MPC with the addition of 61 semi-weighted keys with aftertouch offering a musical palette as vast as your imagination. The control deck features an assignable touch strip controller, 16 velocity-sensitive MPC pads with aftertouch, a beautiful 7" touchscreen, and more. Onboard Quad Core processing and 4GB RAM give you the power and space you need to create when inspiration strikes.
