AKAI Professional MPC Key 37 G2

I recently purchased the MPC Key G2 and I have to say that I am highly satisfed by the product. it is the perfect tool for building powerful loops in no time. The machine is already victim of its success and many people including myself are already waiting for the next version.

So basically this machine is almost DAW free. You can entirely build a project in the machine. you assemble sequences which are doing your song when they are combined together. then you have the possibility to export it in Ableton. For the finalization you will always go for an Ableton polishing but for the rest you can entirely do it through the MPC Key 37.

This machine is going to change your approach of your workflow. you produce first through the Akai MPC and then you finalize in Ableton environment instead of staying swamped in Ableton trying to make some loops.

Also the MPC is one step ahead of classic DAW for the crafting of the sounds in the sense that they have this functionality called ARTICULATION which is a gathering of several sound design tweeks. So basically you load a bunch of sounds in your pads, you start jamming until you start feeling a loop is done. Then you apply a good layer of sound design using the various filters, Sends etc... and then done.

I don't know how to explain it properly but the fact that you have everything at the same place while focusing on your craft makes it an entire different experience in my view.

WHO is this machine for? => for intermediate range producers who want to produce more crafted loops with higher level of impact and sound design.

For me it was THE perfect match.

However... understand that you need to invest a bit of time in learning how the machine is working but once it is done you start realizing the absolute power of this machine. So if you are a total beginner start by assembling some loops and then progressively expand the workflow while learning the rest of the functionalities of the machine.

Conclusion. HIGHLY APPROVED.
PS. NO ABLETON BUGS !!!!
PPSS. ABLETON it is time for you to start moving because you are going to lose your advantage on the market.

je devais acheter la g1 en décembre dernier, j’ai privilégié une guitare (qui n’est plus en stock) voila la surprise de voir une g2 ! je ne connais pas le workflow mpc, et wow vraiment c’est un bel objet, un bel outils. venant de maschine fl studio et d’autre, finalement c’est intuitif et, ne connaissant pas le workflow mais bien l’histoire d’Akai, la légende disait dont vrai ! le standalone c’est parfait, jusqu’ici tout est nickel, je suis très très content

ps : la sacoche qui convient à coup sûr, ne convient pas, c’est une autre qui faudrait prendre, je viendrais éditer si possible après avoir essayé la nouvelle

esit : prenez le Thomann Keyboard Bag DeepMind 6, il est nickel, même avec le desksaver

Seit längerem beobachte ich jetzt schon die MPC Entwicklung von AKAI. Nur waren mir die Geräte - und da vor allem das MPC Key 37 oder MPC Key 61 - waren mir zu schmalbrüstig.
Wie dann das MPC Key 37 G2 rauskam, habe ich sofort zugeschlagen und bis jetzt nicht bereut. Seit 2 Wochen bin ich nun im Besitz.
Ansonsten habe ich ein
- Yamaha PSR-SX900 mit Studiologic SL88 daran
- E-Drum Set
- Roland GR-55 (E-Gitarre)
Das MPC ist nun die perfekte Schaltzemtrale dafüt, sodass ich nicht immer mit dem Rechner und Ableton Live hantieren muss.
Das Gerät selber ist wertig und das Keyboard griffig. In echt sieht das Teil auch besser aus, als auf den Produktbildern.
Ich würde es jederzeit wieder kaufen. Das ist eine Menge Zeug für's Geld.
