I will say though that a portable unit that weighs less and perhaps a little less features that runs on regular Duracell type batteries like the Korg Kross 2 would be a nice addition to the Akai line up of products...Portability in a so called Complete workstation keyboard when there are no power outlets around is really important.. ARE YOU SEEING THIS AKAI. ???.
Look into all the portable 'solar generators' that the van life community are using. 'Jackery' is a make. They would solve all your portable power problems.
I ordered my Akai MPC 61-keyboard last July. The distributor (Sweetwaters) told me I should receive it in the middle of August. Then they extended it to two weeks. Once the two weeks arrived, they told me maybe by the end of October. I am frustrated with these indefinite postponements and the inability of anyone to explain this. Can anyone explain this and/or direct me to how I can buy this instrument in a more timely manner.
The body measure about 90mm high, with one of the knobs poking above a touch bringing it to about 100mm. So if your shelf is anything above 105/110mm then you should be good!
WiFi is a wireless connection. Do you mean can it connect to the internet via WIFi as WiFi is not the same as internet . WiFi is the wireless connection between device and router . If this is what you mean then yes it can
We'll be releasing an in-depth usage tutorial for this keyboard, where-in many additional questions will be answered. It was our first time getting to use the unit, we just wanted to get right to it and show what it can do as quickly as we could!
I love my MPC KEY ! I have been using it in a couple of live shows AND in the recording session of my band's third album... with great results!
can you play interstaller on it?
At first glance, the MPC Key 61 is ticking all the boxes!
I love Bad Gear😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂
Im sold!!
Great job introducing this new unit!!!! That quick track creation was fire also!!!
Wow that was super fast to create a new song!!!
Nice to be alive during this technological era. I can't wait to get one of these....once I find the space.
That keyboard is lovely
Dope!!! I’m so getting one! Thanks for the info.
Do Akia have it in all black?or will be making it in all black?
MPC KEY49 LIVE, make it a thing. Portable with battery and built in speakers
Thanks for the review! I realized I don't need this.

Awesome!😎 I wish I could afford that but I settled with the MPC one.
The ONE is at a really attractive price, and still a very good unit 🙏
@@GetintheMix Thanks for making me feel better about it. Because I regretted at first that I didn't get the live 2.
So what should I do with my MPC live 2? I was not that impressed with it it's still new, Can I trade it in and pay the difference for the MPC keys 61?

Can expansions be downloaded on the mpc key 61 without a computer?
“We’re up to date!” 😂
This thing is amazing, I just wish it had more inputs
You can expand them! As of version 2.10, standalone MPCs support class-compliant audio interfaces which allows you to expand up to 32 ins/outs.
Question. Are you able to use the plug-ins the added to the mpc keys 61 on your other mpc’s or do you still have to pay for them separately?
You can use them on up to 3 units
can you allocate individual samples to the keys opposed to the pads?
Yes, you can!
Is it true, that there's no way to record BPM changes?
This is correct, this has not yet been implemented.
Question: What is the height of it? I am wondering if it will fit on the slide-in shelf of my work-desk.
The body measure about 90mm high, with one of the knobs poking above a touch bringing it to about 100mm. So if your shelf is anything above 105/110mm then you should be good!
@@GetintheMix Cool beans. Thanks.
Problem ist maximum 8 plugin record and ende normal workstacion 16 track midi voice
How come they are backordered so soon.
It has been a very popular launch and we had a limited amount of stock arrive on the first delivery. More to come soon.
so this is like a "NATIVE instrument type keyboard that means akai is really gonna have to pump out some plugings and sounds for this thing
Can it connect to WiFi wirelessly????? That's amazing
Yes it has wireless internet connectivity!
WiFi is a wireless connection. Do you mean can it connect to the internet via WIFi as WiFi is not the same as internet . WiFi is the wireless connection between device and router . If this is what you mean then yes it can
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That pop up😂
⬆ BOSH
I guess Native Instruments will soon release something similar
That would be cool! Perhaps an M32 type keyboard integrated into the Maschine+ which would keep it reasonably compact and portable.
Instead of showing off you tune makeing chops, give us a little more info as you can see many comments have questions you talked nothing about

Video summary: this is a keyboard synthesizer and has cool blee blops and some traditional keys. Oh and don’t forget get the trap beatsssssssss
We approve this summary ✅
How many arpeggiators does it have? None...WTF??
I gave Akai the design for this board without even a thank you, smh, proof is on my channel
