In this stream we will be discussed the leaked images of the rumored Akai MPC Key 37 Gen 2 Retro Edition that have been circulating the internet.
The original posts show a Retro MPC grey colored device with essentially the same industrial design as the current red Akai MPC Key 37. Some videos included a Guitar Center display with a price of $1699!
I will be reacting to the responses from the community post I made this weekend, where I asked subscribers their thoughts on this potential new Akai MPC release.
