MPC Key 37 versus MPC Key 61 // Comparison

Thanks, man. I love your approach, you are great musicians and great youtubers. Keep it going, maybe put up more jams if you may!❤

I really love your work. The style on how you cover your content is well produced.

I really want the Key 37 but that red color is so jarring. Even if it were boring black it would be much better - ideally id love to see it in the retro color way.

Great comparison! Thanks for making this. I love the Key 37 form factor but wish it had the balanced inputs of the Key61.

this is the video that helped me decide to get the 61. great video. already have the live two for travel and the s2400 is my go to instrument but i wanted something to switch the vibe up with and take me back to the 90’s when i had that yamaha psr 350 christmas edition. lol. great video and thank you.

1st, great tech video as always. 2nd any MPC anyone purchased at the time whether just released or not is a great option. I like the fact that they all share the same software just different hardware knobs and buttons, because I can interchangeably share production with friends to create a project together. 3rd, you always sneak in a feature I didn’t know how to execute for example: to save a favorite preset, Goto Favorites hold a square to save and delete! Lastly, your style of MPC reviews and tutorials are so different in a technical perspective from other presenters on YouTube. Please keep this positive information coming

The 37 is perfect for bringing to a live jam at a bar.

I was watching another YT on the Key 37 and the Ableton Control is on the Key 37 but you have to go thru the menus to bring it up. Thanks for your video and I'm started to think about getting the key 61 now versus the key 37.

I love the 37, I was weary about the ram but form factor, worfflow, mobility has definitely won me over. Reminds me of the ASR-10 as far as all in one, the Mpc addition is what puts it on top. They really did a good job of making the Mpc more versatile as it is a legitimate synthesizer and production platform. More ram would make this the ultimate stand alone.

Concise information and excellent delivery.

Well done concise and straightforward.

Thank you for sharing your good school of thought.

Man i been looking at 3 of these 61 37 and box. So hard to Decide which to get. Appreciate the videos u been doing. Helping me decide which one to start my mpc journey.

Honest review 😊

Thanks again for an intuitive video,the comparison to the KEY 61 was great,I WOULD OF PREFERRED A TEST OF THE KEY37, VOID OF THE PRESET SOUNDS THEN RUN A NEW TEST OF THE CPU WITH ONLY THE PLUGINS,SINCE YOU HAVE BOTH (**HINT**).SECONDLY, I NEVER KNEW THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE INTERNAL STORAGE..WOW..MY ADVICE IS A NEWER --ARMS CHIP(X3588),8 Core ,rather than the primitive (RX3288) as you mentioned in your previous video,or Akai should specialize in the build, like any computer company, rather than to impose on the consumer ...leaving them powerless ,IMO.. THANKS AGAIN

Good info!

Thanks for doing this comparison video 📹 👍🏻 Excellent information about the two mpc keys.

Yesterday I was literally thinking why there isn't comparison between 61 & 37. You have a great channel. I would choose 37 over 61 because it looks more fun and portable and hot to the touch (RED)! lol

Got the Key 61 before the 37 was offered. Still would do it again if I had the choice but the 37 is a great option.

You missed that fact that the Key 61 has bay underneath with a SATA connection so that you can add an extra SSD internally. If it works like the Force and the Live II, then the drive shows up in Windows when you connect via USB in controller mode. So it is easy to drag and drop projects and sample libraries back and forth. Unlike the Force, all of the MPC series are still missing disk streaming, which is a shame because it really opens up the system for recording and looping. Customers have been asking for it for years but Akai seem deaf.
