There are 8 plug-in instruments out of the box: including Hype, Odyssey, Mellotron and more; and over 10GB of production ready samples and drum kits. Together these offer over 1000 production-ready presets; and if you want to dive deeper, each plug-in instrument features advanced synthesis, deep parameter editing, and effects for programming exactly the sound you need. With 32GB of internal storage (plus removable media via SD card and USB), there is enough space to expand your sample and instrument library in whatever direction you need to take it.

MPC Key 37 includes over 100 powerful studio-quality effects for creative production and mixing. Insert lush reverb and delay effects into your tracks, add bounce and punch to your drums, and mix using modern or vintage style compressors and limiters. MPC Key 37 ships with cutting edge vocal FX plug-ins, which can also be used for straight vocals or creative sound design.

The MPC Key 37 features a synth action keybed with aftertouch, alongside separate pitch and modulation wheels. The synth-style keyboard action has been designed with players and producers in mind; whether tracking basslines into your productions or jamming out synth leads on stage. The 16-velocity sensitive RGB pads are the same award-winning pads as the MPC One+, with the renowned Time Correct, Swing, and Quantize, MPC features that continue to inspire producers at the top of the industry. Tweaking and editing take place on the 7" multitouch display and five Q-link rotary encoders, giving you fine control and quick access to the parameters you need at your fingertips.

MPC Key 37 can act as a hub for your outboard gear: connect MIDI devices via USB or use the MIDI DIN in/out ports; integrate with modular rigs with the 8 CV/gate outs. Onboard Wi-Fi / Bluetooth allows for wireless synchronization with Ableton Link and MPC OS Updates, and the SD-card reader allows for volumes of expandable sounds and tracks.

MPC Key 37 features a built in 2-in / 2-out USB audio/MIDI interface, so you can record audio and MIDI directly in and out of your computer. The included MPC software is a standalone DAW on your Mac or PC, so you get all the tactility and control of the hardware, but with as many tracks as your computer can handle. MPC software comes as a VST/AU plug-in, so you can open it in major DAWs such as FL Studio, Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools, or Studio One, and combine your favorite workflows.

A: Hi as others have said about FL studios yes. I have used it with other software and it seems to work with them. Id get it. It is made well. The pads have a great feel to them.

Q: 6. Trying to play CD, all it does is spin then screen says NO & doesn't play. Tried several different CD's, same error displays. How do I fix this issue?

A: I had the same problem...fooled around and found you need to move the yellow button to middle then back to the right. Then, see the middle button in the 3-grouping on right face of player? Hit that once and it should bring up the number of tracks on the CD. Hit it once more and the first track should start playing. I'm not at my office to try but I think that's what I did. I'll double check tomorrow. Hope I helped.
