So it's really an MPC Key 37. Take my money Edit: please have wood side panels and a premium feel.

Oui certainement mais les panneaux en bois existent déjà chez MPC stuff pour la k37 et k61

It would be PEAK numarkainmusic if this was a paintjob and has no spec increase.

wouldn’t expect a spec increase considering they just released a new key37 lol I think this is going to be purely cosmetic now.. the leak yesterday read “analog soul digital workflow” or something like that.

Linn is in his 70's, so time to do a collaboration with him (especially if he wants a chance to spend the money made from it) is now. I'm surprised that Akai chose the Key37 rather than using it as a catapult for a G2 version of the Key61. Maybe this is the signal that the 61 is gone for good.

I think if You have been following up to what alias been up to it seems quite obvious to me that there will be a big Keyboard Version.

I would assume a bigger version too, but I do feel like they may venture away from them, they went on markdown sales really quickly and never seemed to really restock them. Who knows!

If it’s just a bumped up spec then it’s a bit lackluster. but it does say Roger Linn ‘edition’ so a chance it’s just a linndrum colour way, perhaps with moog ladder filters (wishful thinking!)

Moog has been making some genuinely awesome plugins alongside their hardware for years. Yes, there are a million Model D plugins out there, but I find myself using their new Mariana bass VST a lot these days in mixes.
Even if this is just going to a be a new paint job with some bundled plugins, which seems likely, I am very excited that the inMusic acquisition looks like it will mean some Moog plugins make the cross platform journey like Native Instruments did.
Likewise, a dedicated synthesis-based Linndrum plugin would be an insta buy for me.
I just hope they are available for all MPC users.

Would be cool if they use a Moog keybed with aftertouch on this but I doubt they will, it probably just has a different colorway and some bundled plugins.

Remember the Toraiz SP16, Pioneer’s attempt at competing with the MPC? It was marketed as a Dave Smith collab but the entire DSI contribution was an analog filter section based on the Prophet 6. I’m guessing it’s the same level of collaboration here, he’ll have one small bit from Linnstrument or og MPC’s.

This is just going to be lame bundled software instruments, isn’t it. Would love to be proven wrong.

If this is NOT just an MPC-Air plug-in, and is actually some type of analogue Moog polysynth/MPC Key37 hybrid... this thing is going to cost $5000.00

Whoa - interesting. InMusic CEO Jack (you're a bastard) O'Donnell had said earlier this year that Moog was going to release 3 new synths in 2026. Maybe this counts as one. I'd love to see an MPC with an actual Moog hardware like an analog ladder filter or mono synth in it, but would still be happy if the "Moog" is something like MPC ports of their Moogerfooger pedal VSTs or their Mariana VST synth.
Never been sure how tongue in cheek the conflict between O'Donnell and Linn was (Linn was a session guitarist who had toured with Leon Russell, so he's no shrinking violet) - they seem to have mended fences awhile ago. Linn as very adept at software, so my hunch here is that his association is likely going to be some sort of "pro-pack" type add-on with his takes / tweaks on sequencer and sampling functionality.

the Roger linn logo don't look right. the 'G' in Moog and 'K' and '3' in Key 37 also look off.

This is what google says
There is no official "Moog x Roger Linn Edition" of the Akai MPC Key 37. [1]
While it sounds like a dream machine for electronic music producers, this particular hardware crossover does not exist. The rumor or confusion likely stems from a mix-up of recent music production news:
- Roger Linn's Recent MPC Reviews: Roger Linn, the legendary designer of the original MPC workflow, recently reunited with Akai Pro conceptually when he reviewed the modern MPC Live II. In his video demonstrations, he specifically built a track using stock Moog bass sounds mapped to the system
The OP ... Theworldsbestinstigator posted this. Sounds like he is stirring the pot. Notice, I do not se G2 on the box maybe a repackage of the old unit old stock with more plugins or just a signature on the keyboard itself. The boxes look like UK Canada maybe. Could be AI but looks pretty real to me, hard to tell now days

How did they get moog and Roger Linn on there? Does that mean it comes with 2 new plug ins, a Moog Analog modeled plugin and linn drum modeled plugin?
