However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Akai Professional MPC Key 37 Gen2 is a standalone production keyboard designed for producers who prefer composing from keys without sacrificing the speed and flexibility of the MPC workflow. Combining a 37-note synth-action keybed with aftertouch, legendary MPC pads and the latest MPC3 operating system; the MPC Key 37 Gen 2 is perfect for sampling and sequencing in your DAW.
The introduction of the G2 eight-core processor significantly expands standalone capability, delivering faster project loading, greater plugin capacity and improved performance when working with larger sessions. MPC3's track-based workflow and Linear Arranger provide a more comprehensive song-building environment, allowing projects to develop beyond loop-based production into complete arrangements.
Product Ref: 375320
Unlike traditional pad-focused production systems, the MPC Key 37 Gen2 places melodic performance at the centre of the workflow. Its 37-note synth-action keybed features aftertouch for greater expressive control, making it well suited to composing basslines, chord progressions, lead parts and evolving textures directly from the instrument.
Dedicated pitch and modulation wheels further enhance performance possibilities, while the inclusion of Akai's established MPC pad system ensures drum programming and sample triggering remain immediately accessible. This combination creates a workflow that feels equally capable for harmonic composition, rhythmic production and live performance.
The G2 eight-core processor represents one of the most important upgrades in the platform. Delivering four times the processing performance of the previous generation, it provides the headroom required for larger projects and more demanding production techniques.
Support for up to 32 plugin instruments allows extensive layering and sound design within a single session, while 16 stereo audio tracks create space for recording vocals, hardware instruments and additional production elements. Combined with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, the system is designed to handle increasingly sophisticated standalone workflows without compromising responsiveness.
MPC3 introduces a workflow that feels considerably more aligned with modern production practices. The track-based architecture allows projects to remain organised as they grow, while the Linear Arranger provides a clearer framework for building complete song structures. Producers can move from sketching ideas to developing full arrangements without switching environments or relying on external software.
The seven-inch multitouch display serves as the centre of this experience, providing direct access to sequencing, editing, mixing and sampling functions. For producers seeking a hardware-first approach, MPC3 offers one of the most comprehensive standalone production environments currently available.
While the MPC Key 37 Gen2 is designed for independent operation, its connectivity ensures it integrates effectively into larger production setups. USB-C supports 24x24 audio streaming, MIDI communication and data transfer through a single connection, simplifying studio routing and session management.
Ableton Live Control Mode alongside project import and export functionality strengthens compatibility with software-based workflows. Additional MIDI I/O, CV/Gate outputs, pedal inputs and USB host connectivity allow the keyboard to function as a central control point for external hardware. This flexibility makes the MPC Key 37 Gen2 equally suitable as a standalone production instrument or the foundation of a hybrid studio environment.
