AKAI Professional MPC Key 37

I've used practically every new gen MPC on the market. I started on the MPC 2000XL. So I know the eco system quite well. This Key 37 interested me because of the form factor. No need for a midi keyboard taking up space on my desk, and no need for a computer. I can make beats in standalone, and I have a set of decent keys. Do I wish the colour was retro grey? yes. Do I wish the build quality was a tiny bit more premium? Yes. Ultimately, the colour has grown on me, and the the price just hits the sweet spot, so I'm a lot more forgiving. The free plugin voucher is a nice touch (get the "Flavour Pro" plugin if you make Lofi/Boombap).

I was never big fun of MPC or groovebixes ,,,, yes I use a lot of samplers and from early days ... sequencers. I was looking for possibly little sized and little weighted machine / sampler ,... and I tried MPCKey 37!
well , I was stunned by the design, easy to use, quality of sound and price !
Beautiful and powerful little bustard. Now I have to admit , I like MPC logic and way of programming beats and grooves...deeply surprised , how come I didn't give it more attention earlier !?!?!
Pure fun and actually very useful little Big Machine. I wish... it would have more specs as big brother of MPC37
