Producers, performers and DJs will appreciate the MPK61 with its mixture of 61 keys with aftertouch, 16 MPC pads with velocity sensitivity and pressure, 72 assignable Q-Link controllers, MPC Note Repeat, MPC Swing and an arpeggiator. MPK61 size is ideal for performers who need a larger keyboard than the original MPK49, but also prefer the lighter weight and portability of the keyboard. The MPK61 retains the Key Split the MPK88, enabling you to divide the keyboard into two zones for performing with two different programs at once.


As the MPK25, MPK49 and MPK88, the MPK61 allows you to create and manipulate melodic content, harmonic and rhythmic and inspires creative production with its arpeggiator, MPC Swing and MPC Note the reapeat.

The MPK61 comes with Ableton Live Lite Akai Edition software, one of the most popular and powerful production programs in the world. Ableton Live Lite enables musicians to compose, record, remix, improvise and edit musical ideas in a spontaneous all Audio / MIDI environment. The MPK61 is a MIDI controller that sends MIDI data over USB for plug-and-play performance with Mac and PC. Because they are MIDI compliant, the MPK series works with virtually all MIDI recording software, sequencing and performance for music performers from keyboard players to producers, DJs and VJs.
