An assignable touch strip sits above the keybed, and you can use it to manually adjust plugin parameters, apply automation, note repeat, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the right of the touchstrip sit 16 velocity-sensitive RGB drum pads with bank buttons that allow you to effortlessly access &amp; capture drum takes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 7&#8243; multi-gesture interactive touch screen displays all of your project information. Here you can select your instruments, change plugin parameters, and more including physically apply edits and trim your samples &#8220;with precision&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AKAI-MPC-Key-61-interface-features-1.jpg\" alt=\"The interface of the AKAI MPC 61 Key is neatly laid out for ease of use.

You can control parameters, automation, and more with four 360 Q-Link knobs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the far right of the interface sit transport controls for recording and over dubbing, in addition to play, stop, and locate buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in the top left of the MPC Key 61 sits the main volume knob for adjusting both main &amp; headphone level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Onboard virtual instruments &amp; software synthesizers <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPC Key 61 features twenty five impressive virtual instruments that give you everything from acoustic sounds to digital synthesizers. However, it includes sick brand new instruments making their debut.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>Fabric <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>First, an impressive standalone synthesizer. Fabric is a hybrid polyphonic synth which is powered by a powered by a sample-based engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>OPx4 <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Capture the sound of iconic synthesizers for iconically vintage sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>Organ plugin <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A rich organ sound that simulates real leather &amp; virtual draw bars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>Stage Piano <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage Piano &#8220;takes full advantage of the semi-weighted keys&#8221;. It&#8217;s a collection of virtual acoustic pianos that range from concert grand pianos to more intimate pinao instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>Studio Strings <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a collection of orchestral instruments that includes solo violin, violas, double-bass, and more, in addition to full orchestral ensembles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>Stage EP<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a collection of keyboards that includes Rhodes, Whirley keyboards and more. You can expect to get some funky ideas flowing after the press of a few keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AKAI-MPC-Key-61-home-studio-RouteNote-Blog.jpg\" alt=\"The AKAI MPC 61 Key is here to streamline your music production workflow in your home studio.\" class=\"wp-image-91989 lazyload\" width=\"591\" height=\"394\"\/><figcaption>Image Credit: Magnetic Magazine<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Sounds, Tabs, Workflow <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the new sounds page is a one stop shop for organising your workflow. Organise all plugin instruments, your preset selections, set lists and your favourite sounds in one place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can access all MPC plugin instruments and select the plugin you desire. By doing so you&#8217;ll see a page full of pre-sorted sound categories that allow for quick browsing of instrument types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting your favourite sounds is a simple process  &#8211; simply enter the Favourites tab with an instrument loaded and hold an empty slot via the touchscreen. Then your chosen instrumetn or sound will populate that slot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance tab allows you to save plugin instrument templatess that can load up in the future at once! This is a huge time saver for anyone who knows where their idea needs to go. Simply select your instrument template and get writing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Set Lists tab, save entire projects for live performance and cue songs one after the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the Key Ranges tab allows you to stack &amp; layer multiple track types (bass, drums, etc.) and create custom variations. Additionly, you can break up the key bed into zones that accommodate for your track types by adjusting the split points here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The New MPC Key 61 Keyboard | Akai Professional\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nGM09eR7zpU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With all of this impressive functionality and an abundance of sounds, what more could you want?
