I am looking for a looper and this one pops out. Having 2 inputs and the versatile ways of producing music in itself, is this better than a looper?

Hi, Akai Pro support here! Absolutely! MPC Key 61's inbuilt Looper will allow you to record and overdub audio in real time - a fantastic tool for live performance as well as spontaneous studio moments. To get started, connect your external audio instruments to the combo XLR+1/4" inputs, press the Menu button, and tap 'Looper'.

i have a external hard drive can i upload my loops and samples into this from that?

Hi, Akai Pro support here! Absolutely! MPC Key 61 is compatible with virtually any external USB hard drive! We recommend using exFAT, FAT32, or NTFS format file systems.

Whats the difference between this and mpcx? is it just the keyboard?

Hi, Akai Pro support here! MPC Key 61 features a 61-key semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch, an assignable touch strip controller, pitch bend and modulation wheels, inputs for expression, FS2, and sustain pedals, and upgraded internals with 4GB Ram, Quad Core ARM Processor, and 32 GB Internal Storage: double that of any other MPC product.

Is the MPC software for the computer included or can be downloaded for free?

Hi, Akai Pro support here! The MPC desktop software is included! We provide you with a lifetime activation code, which can be found directly within your Akai Pro account after registering the MPC Key 61.
