Here’s what I think about the MPC Key 61

[@olesolja1407]

MPC X into an MPC Key 88 w/ flip screen, 4 x row of Q links, big pads, upgraded memory. Black, Gold (limited), and Retro editions.

[@bairahrecordings]

This brother did mention a MPC type of keyboard many years back. 👍🏿😎

[@th-wf3sz]

Good to see you back in the mix!

[@notsogood9449]

Damn... I forgot all about this dude. It's probably been around 6 years since I've watched one of this dudes videos.

[@mroche747]

Sir,you have always been a great wealth of useful information and an inspiration to many,Thank you for all your videos throughout the years.

[@metroinsanity]

You have great ideas. Let's enjoy the future as the MPC KEYS 61 evolves.

[@Mayjah_flexx]

My guy!!!I remeber when we first started on KZbin back in the early/Mid 2000s. Glad to see you still bangin, I got the same setup, I was trying to find who else had this setup to see was it worth buying the keys and the X before I got em both.

[@poject]

Very good ideas bro. Your insights are on point. You know wat you know.

[@EarlDeanDonte909]

What’s up D welcome back. I haven’t bought my 61 key yet, i’m going to wait! I wanna see what type of updates they come up with. They definitely should give you a job because I’ve watched your videos over the years they are listening. You’re definitely hitting some key points on this video as well.

[@TCordy]

I got mine yesterday, it's a wonderful well built board!!

[@MrSinclair1]

Yeah the machine that you’re describing is called an MV 8800 by Roland it has a VGA screen plus a mouse controller that you can plug into the back of the Roland MP 8800 so it’s already been done just not with Mpc

[@88mokeyz8k]

It still does everything the MPC X does in 2022

[@ameeqalli4248]

It doesn’t do automation

[@ameeqalli4248]

Mv was definitely ahead it’s but it doesn’t do everything the Mpc x does.

[@ameeqalli4248]

[@casaterris4527]

This is a very good podcast. I'm glad i just ran into this channel. Everything he's saying is right on major point.

[@andrewracer1866]

Do this with your MPCX. Use it in stand alone, and use the Ableton Live link to sync it with the 61 keys, then bouce your 61-key audio down to the MPCX 8 track and 8 outputs. You can feed those outputs to a mixer to run in sync with your computer/61 key. It might add a lot of air to all your tracks. I am about to do that. In fact, after my songs are done, I will switch to the PMCX controller mode, and then I will use the 61-key added with a Tascam Model 24 interface for stand alone, 32-in/32-out, so my computer feeding the 8 outs on the MPCX go right into the Tascam that can record direclty into the 61-key, reversing the units after the song is done and for mastering. In other words, create the song on the 61-key controller mode and then switch it to an 8 track recorder to sync with the MPCX controller mode for mix down. I can even record those stems on the Tascam itself.

[@SuperQuazemodo]

Been a minute my guy good to see u back my g

[@Verysickbeats]

Long time no see bro, you've been missed and yes i remember all your expectations from way back then. U could definitely be a beta tester for akai

[@jacobarmstrong5308]

The legend has spoken. Listen up Akai.

[@forrestcitygroove]

I remember you had the Beat Thang making beats, I love the mpc 61 too

[@HNIC00]

Akai please pay this man

[@soulscientific2685]

yo i agree akai is dope... i dont have the money to get a key 61 so im getting the mpc one but akai is listening to there customers...good job akai....

[@mrwalker862]

Thanks for the video D! I gots to get one!!!

[@MSlago]

Been toying with the idea of scoring a MPC Key and selling the MPC Ren and MPK61. This clip from the brother DLPeace activated my patience. His suggestions are right on target

[@symphonicclown]

Buying one this week… already have the live … if I listened to the negativity and opinions …, I wouldn’t have anything

[@SonicVibe]

To many bugs right now for akai in general

[@willmcelroy6376]

Nice setup!

[@ArceMusicProductions]

I just bought it still working on in but I wish they will come out with real sound package where we can just buy it on line or a video how create or a easy way to create you own sound with external instruments or wave notes

[@a2roland]

Cool Job. Thank You!

[@lamarcraven2314]

I have some for you to try bro try putting a 2 x 4 with a slent under the keyboard so you don’t get the glare from your other two monitors on it. It seems to work for me very well. I took that and took a little board to make it even a roughed up the board and put Velcro on it and put Velcro on the back of my MPC 61 key, and it stops the glare plus the screen is looking at you more better bro.

[@7Wounds]

I was curious what your reaction would be to this unit lol

[@dwaynemusik]

So now that you have 2 how will you choose which to use?

[@culturemax234]

I was thinking the same thing about all that space on the right side I was thinking they could have use that space to give it more space for bigger sized pads like the mpc one pad size along with the screen size

[@nathanbrauer6462]

I've bought the key 61 and never used an mpc. I had a Yamaha MOXF88 and I don't like the Keybed. Other than that its tight! agree on the screen. touch screen is crazy on a synth. ive got it to my left and its....yes. i agree, need it on my desk. I got the Rockit 8's as well :)

[@Vendetta4LifeRecords]

Big Co of Vendetta 4 Life showing support and tuning in for the good info

[@Thomas_Swift]

Welcome Back !!!!!

[@obscuresoundz]

whats ur thoughts on the mpc key 37 coming this month

[@single_cam9199]

How do you have the x and 61 linked together, and the Wi-Fi feature “should” be able to project onto a Wi-Fi tv like the cell phone KZbin app to your tv

[@djj-trill6391]

Also put a turn table pre amp & sd card slot just like the mpc x & mpc live

[@TB-po5cj]

Mv 8800 and mv8000 has vga and mouse support , and they still monster samplers i have both and they still kickin

[@cyborgtauri8565]

This new Akai is Logic Pro X Able ?

[@beats4hire1]

Yo D welcome back my brother

[@dwaynemusik]

I said the same thing you did I actually wish they may it look more like the mpk261 with the slider and knobs..and I agree akai. Needed a daw . I do wish it had midi controller capabilities like the mpk

[@88mokeyz8k]

Did the MPK261 WORK WELL with the MPC X

[@jameshardy5578]

can I hear some of those beats you made haven't seen you in a while?

[@babar141]

Bro Akai needs to hire u

[@clarenceharris524]

I have the Live 2, Key61 and the MPC X. And I like them in this order Key61, Live2, and then the X. I like having a full keyboard so thats why i prefer the key61. Also, I love the Live because it is portable, has a battery and speaker inside. The X is so big in bulky. The reason I like the X compared to the other models is for the 16 qlink knobs. Other than that, I prefer the other devices but they all essentially can do the same thing. I put 500 gb ssd drives in each of them for $30/piece from bestbuy.

[@dwaynemusik]

You may not be a guru but we know your a die hard mpc dude

[@elmortobeats5919]

it costs 2250usd in norway, still gonna get on. i miss a integrated piano

[@NavCom209]

Your vids a very informative "D"....im using the MPC software and loving how make me creat songs in ease.. I'm getting a "song missing files" when i try to retrieve finished songs😮..this happend after i downloaded NeoSoul expansion pack...any help D

[@justinjones6810]

The way I look at why they did not worry about the bigger screen is because most people who buy the keyboard will not have the drum machine I personally do not like drum machines I just do not care for figuring out how to get to other pages so I would get the keyboard instead of the drum machine because it is a more familiar surrounding instead of trying to learn a whole system

[@markyd386]

I wish it had the q links from the mpc x as welll

[@mikea.8640]

I heard you're able to buy a blu tooth wireless mouse or keyboard and connect to the device and use the shift button etc. But I haven't personally done it yet. I would love to do what you said though, to project a monitor with out a computer. Theres always a way though to anything .

[@oldneab7854]

You have to show the vocal recording process, and what mic's to use.

[@brandonphillips1089]

Peace Brotha

[@xsickamorex]

Hey when did you place the order with sweetwater?

[@dlpeace]

It took 3 months to get it

[@mont-doggBeats]

DL Peace literally has a video In which he was in front of an MPK and he described and predicted Akai making this exact type of keyboard Mpc. It’s crazy they actually made the Mpc key 61

[@nia.d3356]

Im sure ya been asked, but why ya never get on FL studio big dawg ?

[@ZeoP-kl3pl]

I agree windowing the screen like a plugin would be dope it could be done with the ren, also give us some graphics or a screen saver instead of that ugly searching for software screen in plugin mode

[@marcutrillogibert9154]

Bigger screen its a must but 73 or 76 keys also will be good

[@willmcelroy6376]

I appreciate your perspective but that flashing light strip thruout the whole video was very distracting and kinda hard on my eyes. Just fyi

[@user-yf5mv2ls7n]

Add a big flip screen, fully weighted keys, a bigger toggle knob next to the screen, 2TB hard drive (M.2), upgrade built-in sound card equivalent to the Apollo by UA, add speakers like the MPC live II, Make this unit compatible with all the other plug-in makers of VSTs and finally make it USB compatible for Mouse and External keyboard. Price no more than $3500 base 61 key model.

[@user-yf5mv2ls7n]

Oh bigger pads and call this unit, “MPC KEY 61 MASSIVE”.😅

[@Lofilegacybeats]

also tell them to add Hybrid 3 synth to MPC Force range with the analog synth vacuum pro and lume

[@frankr7239]

Hey bro don't you have a daw built in the MPC so we don't need a computer

[@dhewave3983]

They gotta leave room for growth they will have all those features in the future they prolly have a prototype already in the stash.

[@FirstSkyWalker]

Yeah, all the things you’ve suggested have been come to pass. So some new predictions for the upcoming 8 years from now. 🎉 This is a 61 keys (66). Personally I think there will be a 88 keys. And that one will have the big screen and all the pro bells and whistles.

[@Thomas_Swift]

When I hit the Power Kingdom we have to collab on a few tracks.

[@POSTONBEATS]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏

[@RahmanThomas8813BH]

We can use a 49 akai mpc keys that would help a lot !!!!

[@bashali7245]

Yo D you’ve been calling it on MPC so they might make that Pro I got the 61 and still would by the Pro

[@JaySain69]

Aw yeah it would be nice if it had a hdmi port

[@youtubenatan]

Been making any beats on the Beat Thang lately. Just kidding with you, but it's a shame how they messed up the system on that thing, because they actually had something unique in my opinion, from when I used to have the Street Kangz SB-246 drum machine from Zoom. I made some really nice stuff on that little thing. That's why I liked it was because they had some really unique drum sounds that no one else had. Too bad they didn't focus more on the system and marketing it right. Take care...SBN NATAN

[@ANDREGILKEYSr]

AKAI, are you listening to this MAN?! His ideas are truly on point, and he has proved that MORE than once! Not a FLUKE! Call him....AKAI will totally OWN the GAME! =)

[@crown4770]

Im very thankful for the empty space, that's where I put my hard drive

[@RubenSmith]

I got get me one fr fr

[@GcashBeatz]

Are you from toledo

[@softisgood]

all of your ideas make a lot of sens

[@rexeffect7122]

Bro you need to be on AKAI’s payroll.

[@Lofilegacybeats]

you need a job with Akai as the Ideas guy research and development

[@shan5445]

Ideas are not free.

[@Mercwerx2]

Like an ASR-10

[@boomboombaby9140]

I call my mpk and mpc software my mini mpc key 61 . I have the full software not that limited mpc bests .

[@SchmauSy.Official]

Extend Your Screen HACK for Yamaha Montage & MODX . . . Watch this if this can help you.

[@dennishunter5552]

This is just an mpc x with keys and less knobs. The user interface is exactly the same. Not worth a dime of my hardworking money. 💰

[@shan5445]

You are a profit!!!

[@afrkleaks4991]

i understand what you want to say, help you a little bit akai just need to redesign all these crap programs or they can just just buy fl studio or pro tools.... and load it in mpc real workstation from beginning to finshed.

[@dhewave3983]

They gotta leave room for growth they will have all those features in the future they prolly have a prototype already in the stash.
