The Only Reason the MPC key 37 Sucks... is if You Don't Have One.. Period... Love it
This is my first MPC and I'm 40. I'm not a beginner producer/beatmaker I just never owned a MPC until now. I'm loving this, it'sblikw a dram come true.
Thanks for speaking truth. I'm a 60 yr old Key 61 owner. Equipment geek from way back. Today's people are truly spoiled. WTF anybody need after having the 61/37.Like you said bro "best device they ever made".
I support this message 1Million percent! The music that we all grew up on didn't even conceivably have this much power! The hits were made on live instruments, and sampling gear like the SP-1200 which only had 10 seconds. The LinnDrum, DMX, S950 and tape....! No drum kits to buy, and no midi packs to download...! It's a sampler, "SO JUST SAMPLE"!!! The word gigs and terabytes didn't even apply. We had floppy disks that only held megs....💾 Producers, get back to sampling and get off the screen and see what you can really do! Salute to the greats who still make our heads nod. Preemo, Pete Rock, Rza, Erick Sermon, Q-Tip and all the rest, who did it with waaaay less!🫡
I say use what works for you. If you don’t like the Key 37, don’t buy it and keep it moving. Find the tool that works for you and move on. If you think it can get some work done on it, go for it. I won’t get one because I have the One, Live II, and Key 61 but I’m not mad at those who do. Enjoy. You speak wisdom to those who can hear.
For real, your speaking the truth, had me dying laughing 🤣 too, I don’t get why people actually have the nerve to complain about every little thing they can conjure up when they buy a piece of equipment
52 years old getting back into production and got my mpc one + after playing on one at guitar center and totally got my musical juices flowing again! This thing ain't nothing but $699 😲😲 Then they kill it by releasing the MPC Key 37! Akai next time Warn a Brotha lol
You know they gotta drop a SE version of the 37 trust they did the same with the Numark Mixstream Pro. They added a battery pack and made it portable! Same company InMusic! Just wait!
True, but when EA Ski came on the scene, this dude was bashing the mpc. Now EA ski is on the 37, and he is singing a different toon. Now he calling people crazy. Who is he even talking to 😅 shit is funny. Let's just have fun and make music.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 The Truth had been told. I’m from old School Era just like u, I don’t go back and forward with the young generation they r really fuck up by they attitude the way they move the way walk the way they talk and the way they think. Po, my brother.😂🤜🏾💯🤛🏾🫶🏾🖤
We just trying to make songs. People not making it work out for themselves. Gotta learn the device! The thing is dangerous compared to anything we had in the early 2000 for it’s cost!
Love my brother truth been saying it for a while that it's been a real PICNIC. (its not the gear but it's) Problem In Chair Not In Computer. Keys 37 is my Infinity Guanlet and the Outboard Gear are my power stones... Let it Sink in...💯 Been an Engineer 25+yrs worked with the greats seen Skateboarrd P, Kayne Jazzy, Pha work with less and gave the world Magic for Decades...
Talking on the pads. I bought the MPC Live 2 about a year before I purchased the MPC ONE+. For me the pads are too big on the live, but their both amazing! I'm getting the MPC Key 37 before the end of the year for sure
Facts. I came across some dude saying that using the live 2 and a mpk249 is the same as the key 37 & &61. 🤦🏾♂️. Ppl don’t realize that despite it doing the same thing it’s technically an entirely different workflow. These dudes be trying to transform ppl to their workflow and preferences
Great video bro,a lot of people that complain,don't know the best tunes where made with samplers that only had 8 seconds of sample time.we are so lucky to have so much sample time now,and be able to save your work as well,don't forget stem separation was a dream,now its reality.my fist sampler was a mks 100.what a great time to be into studio gear,i love it,peace
Having these new MPCs feels like cheating lol. Started on the 2KXL when it dropped and, the One is my 2nd MPC. I waited 20 something years for what they do today. Always wanted a 2500 but, I'm good now. No complaints at all.
100% real talk here! Man, I was mad at EA-Ski because he was trying to say the new MPCs don't sound good. I thought WTF 🤬HOW?! I ain't never seen a cat just start a war like that. And it was live. I couldn't believe what I just heard my shit lost sleep. My reply is still there. Talk about a YIKES in a half. Lol, I lost a lot of respect for Mr EA-Ski after that shit.
and how old are you again? because its not us vets that's complaining, i was making beats on machines before the MPC even came out so i know these machines are light years ahead. its the spoiled young cats that tripping on modern machines.
just 1 plugin can be a synth from the 80s that mightve cost $3000 back then.. but today, u can have 8 of them, in addition to ur built in sounds, in one machine.. yea, these young'ns just dont know.. lol..
There was a guy in the 1990s named Timmy T had only 8 tracks and had a hit on the charts , One more try. facts , This man is spitting the damn truth You can make a song with very little tracks and sounds Now get a stepping
All i know is that it should have a battery. That would be my only grip. A portable machine that needs a plug is kind of pointless. I got the 61 because if its going to be stationary you might as well have more range
I'm 45 I always wanted the mpc 2000xl in the 90s but couldn't afford it. Now I have the mpc live 2 retro and I LOVE it. I can imagine the key 37 is pretty much everything you could ever need with an mpc. The ram is not a deal breaker, like you said, buy a thumb drive. They're cheap
Thank you in advance..people complain just to complain. Your absolutely right! Complain all the time and don’t even have the machine. Complain about the stupidest shit. Ppl crazy. I could carry on smh..thank you touched every point in this video..I wish I could like it more than once
It’s definitely not a beginner device and that’s coming from someone that has ASR10, 2000xl, and 2500. This joint is like an ASR/2000xl on steroids. Ppl just want something to complain about.
Akai made a mpc for every need with this new operating systems. If the key 37 ain’t it for someone there’s another one that’ll work just fine. Mpc live 2 is what works for me. Can’t beat the 6 outputs at that price point. But tbh I can use any of them and be just fine. You’re right if you can’t make something decent with the amount of technical advantages of the newer systems, then it’s you not the machine
I'm laughing my ass off at 4min in. I agree all complaints I have heard about the 37 seemed suspicious. So I just bought one. I can't stop using this as a synth. Great parameters for the synth plug ins
Facts. There is definitely planned obsolescence by these companies (like any other big company), but at the end of the day, these units are monsters in comparison to old units. Unless we're talking about build quality (old joints were built like tanks) or the grittiness we used to get from older units (newer ones can be modded if you really want that in the box), there's nothing to talk about. Our tools are insane these days. People complain just to complain. Unhappy people.
I am so glad that you said that because I said the same thing…I’m like… what the hell are these ppl complaining about.. they are crazy… ok so let’s pretend that mpcs never existed… then what…? They better be thankful that something like this even exists..because Akai didn’t even have to make these if they didn’t want to… then what?….. oh ok then… ppl better be thankful
Well I did a video on the Key 37 which states why Im not buying one, because in My opinion its old technology, its basically a MPC one. I expain that for Me the APK249 I own has all the parts of a MPC with Keys that I would want, same buttons, Knobs and so on, and Im not going to stop using Reason.
💥💥💥💥Boom!!! Love every single word of TRUTH from this guy!! Straight to the point and taking no prisoners! If you can’t make music from the Key 37 then you should get the f*ck out of the production world and go take your feeble imagination elsewhere as you do not belong in it! Nothing but absolute respect for this guy and what has been communicated.🙏❤️ Sometimes people need to hear the honest truth regardless of who gets upset and for those who are in denial and can’t simply handle what is being said,this is for you!! There’s far too people out there who just love being negative and who like to point score by knocking a product,when in reality they don’t haven the slightest clue what they are even talking about!! For those who are offended by this video, Too Bad!!,,you are the exact people who this video is aimed towards!!
You can’t answer that question 🙋🏾♂️, but can you answer this question. How much storage does a terabyte have, or how many tracks can you download? Is it a 100 albums? 🤷🏾♂️I really don’t know. 🙅🏾♂️
Of course i dont have one im not impressed by it so why would I drop money on that when it doesnt do anything i cant do on my DAW id rather get the live 2.
E-A-SKI talked about this. Got 🥷🏾’s complaining what it doesn’t have, but do you deserve all that functionality?? You not selling any records nor would they pay the money for all the bells in whistles they crying for.
A lot of people complained because they thought EA Ski was complaining, so they were just trying to stay in the mix. That's what people do . They follow.

This is my first MPC and I'm 40. I'm not a beginner producer/beatmaker I just never owned a MPC until now. I'm loving this, it'sblikw a dram come true.
I'm 54 and have various MPC devices. But the MPC plus blows my mind. I bought it last year and basically haven't used the rest of my studio since.
Same here, I bought a mpc500 3 years ago. Sold it and saved for the one. Best everything machine for the price ever made.
Thanks for speaking truth. I'm a 60 yr old Key 61 owner. Equipment geek from way back. Today's people are truly spoiled. WTF anybody need after having the 61/37.Like you said bro "best device they ever made".
My main complaint about the key37 is that I don't have one!... saving hard to get one

It wasn’t even 20 years ago. The mpc 5000 from 2008 was no where near as advanced as the new MPCS. People have been spoiled my these new devices

Mpc live 2 this way thinking about getting the 61 or 37
That Key 61 ain’t no joke! It’s gotta a lot of sounds 6000, a lot of parameter adjustments, and it louder than the other MPC!
The key 37 comes with one free plug-in coupon.
Which one would you get?
Moog
Juno
E pianos
???
Moog All Day! Salute! You will get some more interesting textures in my opinion!

Yeah had to sub it’s like listening to myself….though one of the reasons I like my studio is the pad size 😅

Thanks for sharing this. Does the MPC key 37 allow you to sing into and record vocals?? Or do you HAVE to have an interface? Im very new.
