MPC Sample Key 甚至尚未正式公布，但 Akai 已经开始展示改装（Mod）社区通过 vibe coding 捣鼓出的惊艳成果。Akai 决定拥抱这批激增的黑客与定制固件开发者，通过向他们提供抢先体验设备的资格，并计划为该设备提供开源固件。
它很可能会运行与 MPC Sample 相同软件的微调版本，以适配传统键盘、弯音轮与调制轮。不过，与更高端的 MPC Key 37 不同，Sample Key 并没有配备打击垫（pads），用户改为直接通过琴键回放采样。
在昨晚及今天发布的 Instagram Reels 短视频中，Akai 展示了多个通过 vibe coding 实现的改装模组，它们为设备新增了多种合成器，包括 Native Instruments Massive，以及虚拟模拟（VA）和 FM 合成器。其中一段视频甚至展示了设备正在运行一个内置“多款不同合成器”的完全定制操作系统。
根据视频内容，同样的“社区”特性也将下放到常规版 MPC Sample 上，视频同样展示了该设备运行由 Claude 编写的几款 vibe-coded 合成器。这或许意味着 Akai 正计划将整个 MPC Sample 平台全面开源。
CEO Jack O’Donnell 向 The Verge 透露，inMusic 旗下品牌（尤其是 Akai）希望通过向开发者提前发放设备来拥抱改装社区。这些努力还将包括开源部分软件以及提供官方 SDK。

The MPC Sample Key isn’t even formally announced yet, but Akai is already showing off what the modding community is cooking up through vibe coding. Akai has decided to embrace the explosion of hackers and custom firmware developers by giving them early access to the device, which will have open-source firmware.
It will likely run some version of the same software found on the MPC Sample, but with tweaks to accommodate the traditional keyboard, pitch, and mod wheels. Unlike the higher-end MPC Key 37, however, the Sample Key doesn’t have pads. Instead, you play back samples with the keys.
In the short Instagram Reels posted last night and today, Akai shows a number of vibe-coded mods that add synths, including Native Instruments Massive, to the device, as well as virtual analog and FM synths. One is even shown running a completely custom OS, with “several different synths in it.”
According to the clips, the same “community” features will come to the regular MPC Sample, which is also shown running a few vibe-coded synths built by Claude. That could mean Akai plans to open-source the entire MPC Sample platform.
CEO Jack O’Donnell told The Verge that inMusic brands, especially Akai, would be looking to embrace the modding community by seeding early devices to developers. These efforts will also include open-sourcing some software and providing an SDK.
