This is my review of the AKAI MPC Key 61 and I feel bad for loving it. I already have the MPC ONE & MPC Live 2. So who asked for this. Well, the keyboard workstation market is flooded with great workstation (Triton, Motif, ASR 10, Fantom, etc.). However, they lack in 2 areas. Which are the sequencer and the sampler! Some how AKAI manage to take the balls to put this on the market. Now you can decide on what's more important. Wait, did I mention there's new plugins too? Oh yeah!!! They manage to revamp the OS too while hiding that detail.

Here's the new AKAI MPC tuner & amp sim in action for the 2.11 firmware OS update. I'll show you some extremely basic tips on how to use a guitar with the MPC. That includes using it in standalone with & without an audio interface. I'm very excited about the future of dawless production. The new firmware update's coming out June 23rd 2022!

Native Instruments linked up with Noah James Shebib (bka 40 Drake's producer & engineer) with his "Very Own" Kontakt play series expansion. It works in all DAWs both Windows & MacOSX. So, I'll show you how to use these sounds on my AKAI MPC Live II & MPC software. Both expansions are on sale right now for $100 (for both btw). Hurry up and get it because that's not a bad deal. However, I want to know if you like the sounds he curated?

I'm checking out AKAI's new MPC expansion called "Neo Sunset". Which fills the void of the late 90s hip hop/boombap sound (ex. J.Dilla's hip hop neo soul style). So, let's make a beat & explore some of the sounds! Let me know what you think?
