Complete Standalone Music Production
The MPC Key 61 combines the classic MPC workflow with a full-size 61-key performance instrument, giving creators a powerful platform for songwriting, sampling, sequencing, arranging, recording, sound design, and live performance. With standalone operation, you can build complete productions without relying on a computer.
Expressive 61-Key Performance
The 61 semi-weighted full-size keys with aftertouch provide a responsive playing experience for piano parts, synth leads, pads, basslines, layered instruments, and expressive performance. Pitch bend and modulation wheels, a touch strip controller, and performance controls add further expression for modern keyboard-based production.
MPC Pads, Touchscreen and Hands-On Control
Sixteen velocity and pressure-sensitive RGB-backlit pads bring the iconic MPC feel to drum programming, sample triggering, clip control, and performance. The 6.9? full-colour touchscreen, 4 touch-sensitive Q-Link knobs, encoder, and 44 dedicated-function buttons provide fast access to editing, browsing, mixing, sequencing, and sound shaping.
Powerful Memory, Storage and Expansion
With 4GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage, including pre-installed content and available user storage, the MPC Key 61 is built for serious standalone production. Storage can be expanded via SATA connection, giving creators additional room for samples, instruments, projects, and custom sound libraries.

This makes it a complete studio hub for microphones, instruments, synths, modular gear, controllers, and recording workflows.
