Awesome that you shouted out Jae Freshman. My learning time was dashed to a matter of weeks for the One plus thanks to his tutorials and your in depth demonstrations. Thanks for everything Malo

After struggling with the SP404MK2 for the last six months, I finally bought what I suspected I'd prefer from the beginning. My Key 37 will be arriving tomorrow!
Thanks for confirming my decision!

Thank you so much for your content. Sometimes I watch your videos just because of you talking. It’s always inspiring. I am a producer based in Germany. I own a recording studio and must say, that the key 37 is a blessing. It gives me enough freedom to work wherever I want and still have most of all the tools I need. That is perfect for staying creative and getting away from the big screen, which always has something none music related popping up 😂

The mpc37 is hands down the best option. Yes, the live two is awesome because you do have the portability with the battery but over time that battery will stop holding a charge. You can purchase an inverter and connect the Milwaukee battery to the MPC37 and have the same amount of freedom using the device with a set of headphones.

For someone looking to buy their first MPC, would you recommend a MPC One Plus or a used MPC One (non-plus)?
Thank you Malo.

I had to decide between the Key 37 and the One Plus. I went with the One Plus because I don't need another keyboard. I love it so far. Crazy how small yet powerful it is. Just got mine 3 days ago

[davidosolo]

MPC One+ with a midi keyboard = way to go

I got my mpc live 2 back in 2020 and learning something new about it till this day .example the aftertouch on the pads and writing in pitch bend automation basically can be used like and mpe keyboard with the right setup I've been experimenting having fun with this . I used my mpc live 2 more then my key 61 im waiting for stems to drop for standalone to start back using my key 61 stay safe n blessed all 🫡👍🏾🫡🙏🏾🙌🏽

[riverdalep]

I get my 37 today and I’m geeked up. Started with the one but had to upgrade just for the keys and I gotta get the stems. I don’t need much.

[Rokvet]

Yeah I'm not a keyboard player either but having those keys spikes my creativity. It's gives me so many more options. Thanks for this video.

[daniel_dumile]

live2 all day, just keep an Akai MPK mini plus around if you need keys

[matthewgaines]

None are best. What matters is what is best for you. That answer is as individualistic as each user. As a user of the One, Live II, and Key 61, they are all better for specific use cases, thus I still use them all.

If I could only own one, it would be the Live II although I use the Key 61 the most.

[anthonyscott]

I definitely predicted that your choice would have been the Live 2. Pleasantly surprised.
Great job on the comparisons. This was helpful.
Thanks

Realistically before MPC's became Stand alone for the 2.0 Software, I used to travel & only use a Arturia Midi Keyboard to make tracks in the AUX of the car... I think that's where the MPC Key 37 would shine the most, if it has an internal battery or you have a converter to power it in the car... 👊🏽💣💥 #GreatVidBro...🎥🎬🎥

[toomuchtobmac]

If I didn't already have a Live and a One+ I'd get the 37 key. And yes, the Mini D is badass! Good points made on all of the units.

[thenappyheadskater]

I would say live 2. Speakers and battery. Also has the ability to play keys thru pads so that's my pick.

[thomasmatthews]

For some reason I don't really use the pads on the 37 so much as I am loving the keys. But when I'm region chopping I pad it. I have no complaints. It is very user friendly. Track mutes get used frequently which is something I never used on the One. Stems has changed my whole experience. Songs I could never sample because of elements unwanted were in the way are now removable.

I just peeped a video 📹 yesterday showing how 🤔 you can usb any audio via Mpc 37 🎵🎶🔥💣🔥💣🔥🎧😎

[JustinCees]

Hey Malo! Is the Key 37 still your go-to? I’ve got the One+ myself, but I’m thinking about picking up the Key 37 instead to add basslines, synths, or whatever else with the keys. Like you, I’m not much of a keyboard player. Would you still recommend it? Appreciate your thoughts—and love the content, brother!

If you’re just getting started in production and looking to sample vinyl and eventually utilize it to play live sets
Which of the 3 is the best unit?
