Akai MPC Key 61: Gamechanger or Hype?

Akai has decided to take the MPC platform and create a Keyboard Sampler Workstation out of it. No longer are they competing simply with other "grooveboxes" in the marketplace but they are competing with the major players in the performance synth and workstation categories. Specifically the big three Yamaha, Roland and Korg. These manufacturers have some powerful keyboards on the market. The Fantom, Fantom-0, Montage, MODX, Kronos and Nautilus are all very strong keyboards that dominate this segment of the market. How does the new MPC Key 61 match up? Let's take a look.
