[@mybassistight]

Is that an Ensoniq EPS 16 on top?

[@garyb7950]

Just bought a MPC Key 37 and I am learning it and the MPC ecosystem. I am liking the travelbility of this unit!!! More to come….. 🎹🥁😀💜

[@djcoolcliff]

Dope video! Off T Wall is my favorite album of all time! My uncle Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson rhythm guitar on it along with some of the best musicians ever!!! Dope chop too!!!!!!!!!

[@Sarah2ill]

Ayy Thank You fam!

[@BobCattTheLegend]

My first machine was the mpc 2000 XL I no longer have but wish I kept it... now I use the mpc studio but that's just a controller.. but I still can create and still have the time of my life

[@onlyonetonyg]

The lady at the cash register had no idea of the Heat you were about to make with those records lol

[@Sarah2ill]

NO IDEA!!!

[@ray_maestro_]

Them doop da dib dib doos was crazy 😂 another Mike and Stevie wonder classic.

[@Sarah2ill]

Right!!!! Dooooo dahhhhhhhh

[@DJMASTERBLEND]

Nice MPC breakdown. RAW hip hop shall be made…very nice flip.

[@Sarah2ill]

Thanks for watching fam!

[@LMarquee]

My first device was a Maschine MK1. Now, I use a Machine MK3, and M-Audio 88 keys midi controller.

[@Sarah2ill]

That’s a dope combo!

[@CMagnificent2000]

How did you not already have MJs “Off the Wall” on vinyl? That’s mandatory… dope beat ✊🏾

[@Sarah2ill]

Would you like to donate your vinyl collection to me?

[@avace917]

This is maybe the 5th video I've seen of someone making a track on the 37 and you definitely made the hottest one so far

[@Sarah2ill]

Ayyyy I really appreciate your feedback!! Glad I can entertain!

[@avace917]

Thank You Zari!!!

[@Algorythm-C]

Your first Beat on this is mad smooth #toptier🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Sarah2ill]

Thank You!!!

[@horyeeeeeeen]

Thank you so much. Your opinion will be very helpful. As expected, for individuals who prioritize budget and seek an all-in-one solution, this could be the ideal choice.

[@Sarah2ill]

Exactly! And of course! I got you!

[@fdra1763]

I appreciate your final thoughts as my dilemma is between the 37 and the Live ii. Seems like the Live ii and a separate keyboard will allow me to maximize my creativity rather than compromise it. No hybrid for me.

[@natemickens88]

Thats a new twist on MJs signature B side I Cant Help It...Solid

[@myronbrown3933]

That cookup was dope! Thanks for sharing, I could tell that you were having a lot of fun with th MPC Key 37!

[@Sarah2ill]

Thanks for watching!

[@Phrozen716]

Sarah .. Dela soul use the MJ joint already . Break of Dawn .. classic.. Plus Jermaine Jackson and Tito , Randy is broke you’ll never get that sample cleared.. 😊 lol.. This what I want to see at this We all have different MPC laying around.. I’m feeling the 37 .. however I want my live to sync with the 37 , transport button.. so I can have my live in the live 2 next to my turntables In the other other room and the 37 in the control area. Akai need an instant sync set up in the preference tab . For example if you have the MPC Studio 2 / a Sync preference page will automatically combine both units instantly.. with the key 37 .. now you have large pads etc .. more buttons Qlinks .. It’s 2 the point when purchase 1 product the other is collecting dust! For now live 2.. Instant gear sync and a decent controller with nice keybed for customers who already have a MPC one , X , live .. those MPK controllers are toys .. better yet 88 hammer action.. MPX grand .. retro white . 1 unit..

[@karatepod]

Record Surplus!

[@1andonlydasilent1]

Yo sis... Da Silent 1 checking in!!! Dope stuff on the new toy!!! Very cool flip!!! 🥶🥶🥶 Using a King of Pop track! 😎✊🏾

[@Sarah2ill]

Thank You for watching!!!

[@Kaylibzgraipz]

I started out with an mpk mini play and BandLab using a usb hub and my phone…just couldn’t get drums to sound good…so when I got my MPC+ I used the pads and heard my drums on time I was in heaven…the pads may be stiff but theyhave a great sensitivity level and makes finger drumming more realistic and sound versatility is totally customizable

[@Sarah2ill]

I love that!

[@BENWORKIN89]

My first was a Casio Keyboard with a Boss Dr Rhythm.

[@Sarah2ill]

Ayyy that’s cool

[@user-mf2qg4ki2v]

The beat btw was 🔥. I’m a beginner with some experience but I’m still looking for the right MPC, I have an MPK Mini MKIII and I was already debating between the One+ and the Live II. This just makes my decision that much harder 😂

[@Sarah2ill]

omg i can imagine!!!! you can't go wrong with anything now these days. Everything is pretty dope, it just depends on the artist/producer!

[@DiscoHank]

Verrrry dope. I was a little afraid at first because I love “I can’t help it” plus the Joints that have sampled it like “Breakofdawn” and a few other choice cuts but you grabbed a great texture out of it and laid dope stuff on top of it. Good job and it sold the 37 for me!

[@ChristopherJenkins73]

This clearly needed to be a mobile device just like a Live mk2 with Keys! I was hoping for it! Imagine being able to take around a Live Mk2 with keys? Have the touch strip, HD and Battery 🔋 👌🏻 I call this a flop! It'll be 499.99 in 6 months! COOL IDEA THOUGH! Just not for me!😢

[@Sarah2ill]

You’re right. It’s not for you. And it’s not for me. But it’s someone. And that’s all that matters. Good for the new music producer out there! Good for those who have a tight budget.

[@Saintknick]

NI is falling asleep at the wheel even though Akai is regurgitating and doing just enough so that the MPC heads will keep spending. NI is truly half stepping

[@Sarah2ill]

Speak on it 🗣️

[@kmiyahpoet7076]

🎯💯 For real!

[@Phrozen716]

NI gonna respond.. With a maschine to match the new keyboard controller hardware. With audio track / punch in and out feature. Basically we only use DAW for vocals at this point!

[@Saintknick]

When NI released the new MK3 boards with no Maschine integration I said that was so they can soon release a new Maschine and people would have to run out and buy it if they want to integrate. I have a S88 mk2 and a Maschine Mk3 so you know how I feel

[@iam_calvinwayne]

Doooopeee!!! When I saw you grab the album, that's the first song I thought of to grab stems. Love how you flipped it!!

[@Sarah2ill]

Ayy Thank You!!!

[@kelseydaniels7283]

Yeah. This was a good flip. Prince Paul also sampled this MJ track for Breakadawn, one of my fave De La tracks.

[@connormckay9429]

I have a MK3 and an FL key 37, i feel like this would be able to do everything that set up can but in a waaay smaller space, i was eyeing the big brother the 61 key before this came out and now i have a toigh choice to make 👀🔥

[@Sarah2ill]

So many choices! This one isn’t too bad. The mk3 pads are thicker tho.

[@rogerpancake6803]

..Thanks for the great vid..excellent

[@PabloDeModeOfficial]

This is an awesome device! However you can always hook up a midi key controller to the mpc live or mpc one. It works like a charm ❤

[@Sarah2ill]

Exactly!!! Which is my preference

[@payso1382]

This seems to be a very viable option for a transportable setup 💯💪🏽

[@mindzovamatter]

first device was Maschine studio... and i still haven't put it down

[@BassFunMusic]

Awesome video ♪♥

[@Sarah2ill]

I'm glad you like it

[@thomasmatthews8873]

My first MPC is the 2000 classic. I still have it. After which came The MPK mini and The One in 2020 followed by The 37 this year. Although it is Standalone, I prefer Controller Mode.

[@illygotbeats]

I mean if you used an Akai product in the last 10 years you can use any of them..not really a ton has changed. Stem separation is dope tho, can't lie about that but we got software that does it for us...even the next FL version has it.. that flip was dope tho

[@timdanyo898]

My first sampler was the Casio SK-1 back in 1985. Legit so sad somehow I lost it! But that thing was my entry point into sample based music and it was so much fun.

[@absurdbeats]

My first device was the Roland MV-8000. Miss that beast 😢 Moved on to greener pastures.

[@nufunksoul]

Awesome Video & Breakdown Sista!!!

[@Sarah2ill]

Thank You for watching!

[@AppaBoy]

love the pitched down vocal at 5:57

[@culturemax234]

Best video ive seen so far on the key 37

[@Sarah2ill]

Aww Thank You so much! I appreciate your feedback and watching!

[@JamesThomas-pv5en]

Love the video 🔥my first equipment was Yamaha DJX keyboard with built in sampler when I was 18 for my birthday. It had a 6 track sequencer that was absolute 💩 but had good sounds and backing tracks too. Then I invested in Korg Triton and loved it just couldn’t get on with the sequencer on it. Then I got introduced by a good friend who had an mpc 2000 and he taught me how to use it. After that I bought the 2000xl and used the triton together and never looked back. Few years later I ended up buying the greatest mpc the 3000 and everything sampled and going through this machine bangs hard straight out the box 🔥🔥🔥

[@Sarah2ill]

You’re making me want a 3000 so bad!!

[@BEASTBEATS700]

Hey Sarah will the Key 37 pair up and work with the MPC X SE so I could have best of both worlds with the keys on the 37 and the big pads on the X SE?

[@Sarah2ill]

I’m sure you could. You can use both as separate external instruments on your audio interface or use the MPC key 37 as a midi controller

[@jayrich7272]

That Red Though!

[@LaurenceCousins-ov9tn]

I like your beat! Very creative 😃. Excellent job.❤

[@XLProductionz]

1st device was a AKAI MPC 2000 I don’t have it (gifted it to a friend) can the key 37 sample it’s internal sounds?

[@Sarah2ill]

yes it works like a MPC with keys

[@eddieherrod6632]

Love the way you put that sample together me I like The separate set up myself I have the MPC one and the native instruments MK3 49 key work very well together great setup!

[@GabeWilliams]

The off the wall sample flip so good wow

[@Algorythm-C]

😮😮😮stem separation 🏆🏆🏆

I had a Roland drz drum machine then I got a mpc 2000xl still have it

[@Sarah2ill]

SWEET!!! Keep it! Haha

[@Lukeydontv]

@@Sarah2ill I was thinking about getting the mpc 61 key or a mpc live but not sure thenI see this 37 key? Wondering if I really need it sometime less is best I learned

[@Teddy_Blanks_TV]

I am 52 years old and I could remember back in the mid 90s when I purchased the MPC 2000 XL as my first equipment purchase and I can honestly say that was a amazing experience for years. I made lots of amazing beats on that machine and no, I do not still have it. I sold it on, eBay. Question despite the MPC pad feel how is the key 37 workflow in the actual machine is it like the MPC live workflow or does it have limitations?

[@manikcz2879]

Love that LoFi feel ❤

[@bmgtyme2881]

So, I already have the MPC 1 plus. should I keep both for the reasons you talk about?

[@Sarah2ill]

I don’t own a MPC 1 plus PLUS it depends on you and your workflow.

[@mpbangamusic9673]

Nice flip!!! I love the 37, don't mind the MPC one size pads, just the red is hurting my eyes fam

[@Sarah2ill]

Understandable

[@theartoflivingoutloud888]

I feel like you have the best of both worlds especially if you’re on the GO!!! Just grab a power bank and headphones.

[@Sarah2ill]

Absolutely!

[@footrocketco.3050]

My first device was the original Ableton Push. Still got it somewhere, but don't use it anymore

[@elident7828]

Damn. , I just watched you change the whole vibe up on classic MJ song ! Who said sampling is not an art form and for lazy producers. You made me want to experiment with with my mpc live 2. This beat sounds like something Erykah Badu would be singing to. You are a dope producer , I like your ear… please let me know your credits if you could and thanks for the video. !

[@MichaelSmith-mb1gm]

First device was an AKAI MPD18 which I still have. I got a Maschine Micro because of your videos maybe 7 yrs ago. I now have Maschine Studio & Jam & really love the control I can get with live performances. You have impacted some lives with your work gurl! Keep it up & congrats regarding your work with Roland🤯🤯🤯

[@LindaSueGames]

DOPE ASS BEAT!

[@ernestm8884]

One of my Favorite Michael albums.

[@stanleys.3959]

It's a good idea from Akai to make a 37key. I'm on Ableton live and as hardware I got a Verselab mv1, No MPC. But I wonder how is the workflow of this red thing ... generally the MPCs ?

[@nielswendt]

Is the red as shiny as on the Akai Advertisement or more of a matt finish? In a lot of videos it seems way more Matt than I thought.

[@Sarah2ill]

its a regular plastic finish lol

[@kcvision5076]

I love your music it just makes you feel good/ great vibes!

Hey @Sarah2ill which piece of gear do you like the most right now? Push 3, MPC X SE, MPC LIVE 2, MPC KEY 37 ?

For the studio, MPC x. On the go and all around good product and value. MPC live 2

[@songologia]

should there be small speakers on it like with Live 2 , and 16 control knobs like on MPC X ?

That would make it a $1400+ device.

Dual 1/4 cable to AUX

I notice people always chop using the pads, but can you chop and edit samples using the keys?

Yes!

The pads work like the keys. The keys work like the pads. They are on a chromatic scale

This is dope!!

[@Sarah2ill]

Ayy Thank You for watching!!!!

[@AKHODA]

1) That Lacoste suit is a cold piece, ma! 2) Dig how you hit the drums first then dropped the sample in. 3) Thanks for your honesty, I'm temped on this one cause I'm doing some live jamming and hate carrying a bunch o' devices, but I don't love the big a** bright screen for some reason. Feel you on keeping things separate. Sometimes a device can do TOO much. Getting Miko Timbaland Edition vibes. Much love!

Can’t wait to test stem plugin 🎉🎉🎉

[@Sarah2ill]

It’s pretty solid!

[@SpeccyMan]

To be fair, it's more workstation than synthesizer. I've had my eye on one for a time but the red keeps putting me off. I'd like one in a nice shade of blue. The fact it can sample and beat slice means I'm seriously looking at it again. I bought that album myself waaaaayyyyy back in 1979. Yes, I'm THAT old. 🤣 Best track by far is "Rock With You". Edit: The more I think about it, the more I consider saving a little bit longer and getting a Roland Fantom 06 instead. I can beat slice in my DAW. 😁
