The MPC Key 37 G2 is a next-generation standalone MPC keyboard synthesizer designed for producers and beatmakers who want the speed and precision of the MPC workflow while creating music with a keyboard. Inspired by the iconic MPC of the late 1980s, its cream-colored exterior combines 37 synth-action keys, pitch bend/modulation wheels, traditional MPC pads, and a powerful standalone production engine. It integrates melody, harmony, rhythm, and sampling into a single unit.

With the MPC3 OS and a newly integrated second-generation (G2) 8-core processor, the MPC Key 37 G2 delivers four times the processing power of its predecessor. It supports larger sessions, 16 audio tracks for recording everything from vocals to external synths, and 32 plugin instances for more advanced sound configurations. Enhanced RAM and internal storage enable faster project loading and smoother operation even with complex configurations.

At the heart of the workflow is a 7-inch multi-touch display. Featuring the MPC3's modern track-based workflow and linearly flowing arrangement screen, it's designed to go beyond loop creation and allow you to build full songs using only hardware. Furthermore, you can sample directly from smartphones, tablets, and external devices via USB-C, allowing you to quickly capture inspiration and convert it into playable sounds on the spot.

The MPC Key 37 G2 connects via USB-C, allowing you to handle audio, MIDI, and data with a single cable, seamlessly integrating into hybrid studio environments. At the same time, it supports fully standalone operation, enabling you to focus on production without distractions. Combining high expressive power, modern standalone capabilities, and superior processing power, the MPC Key 37 G2 is the MPC for keyboard players embarking on serious music production.
