This product is absolutely amazing you can just plug it into a computer and actually make every sound in the book you can record a professional background track from this small keyboard and you can play thousands of instruments and then just mix it and it sounds amazing, and it works with many apps all the basic ones for sure, and the size is amazing very small and can fit on a small desk, and it's very portable,I wouldn't say it was the easiest to install but just watch a few YouTube videos and your good, and besides for recording its overall very fun to use and make different sounds, and it's very solid peice and good quality, definitely worth the money and you don't really need to know how to play this works for beginners. ... show more

  • Don't let the color fool you; this is an incredible instrument
Color: Standard Style: MPK Mini Only
I waited a couple of months before writing this review. There's a lot to dive in and I wanted to write a review short enough to read that contains everything you need to know. For your money you get two things, the hardware (the MK3) and some free software, MPC Beats. The MK3 is a 25-key USB MIDI keyboard. In addition to the 25 keys, there are selection buttons on the left and right, a joystick/knob, 8 drum pads, 8 knobs, and a teeny-tiny LCD for younger users with better eyeballs than mine. They keyboard has a tiny bit of weight to it, but you won't mistake it for a paperweight. Keep in mind that on its own, the keyboard does nothing, It only works when plugged into a computer, running software. The free DAW software Akai provides is MPC Beats. MPC Beats has approximately 9 million buttons and options, so don't expect to figure it out in an hour or even a day. There are so, so many features. You can of course make tracks, loops, patterns, and so on. There are tons and tons of free instruments available. It can get confusing as to which can be assigned to the keys and which are assigned to the drum pads. Fortunately there are tons of video MPC Beats tutorials online, which can teach you the ropes. The free version of MPC Beats has one major limitation in that songs are limited to 8 MIDI tracks and 2 "audio" tracks (which could be used for vocals or samples). If you're just wanting to create loop based music, 8 tracks are actually quite a bit. If you do eventually outgrow MPC Beats, you can upgrade to the pay version, MPC 2.0, which allows 128 tracks, all of which can be MIDI or digital audio. So, what's to say? There's a bit of a learning curve with the software and figuring out what all the buttons on the keyboard do. It has been a while since I played around with a DAW and so it took me a couple of days to wrap my head around everything. Again, there are lots of YT tutorials out there that will point you in the right direction, and the more you play around with things, the better you'll get. Physically the keyboard's looks may not impress your studio friends, but there's no reason why you couldn't create a hit song with this thing. ... show more

  • Great and stylish little controller
Color: Grey Style: MPK Mini Only
The Akai Professional MPK Mini MK3 is a 25-key MIDI keyboard controller that is packed with features and functionality. It offers a great playing experience and a wide range of controls that make it perfect for both studio and live use. One of the biggest pros of the MPK Mini MK3 is its build quality. The controller is constructed with high-quality materials, making it durable and sturdy, it feels solid without being too heavy. The pads and keys are velocity sensitive, feel great to play and are highly responsive, providing a satisfying playing experience. The controller also features a built-in arpeggiator, octave shift buttons, and a powerful 4-way joystick for pitch and modulation control. These features make it easy to add expression and creativity to your music. Additionally, the controller includes MPC Beats and a bunch of instruments and sample packs, which is a great DAW for those who are looking to start making music. Another pro of the MPK Mini MK3 is its sleek and retro-futuristic design. The gray version of the controller in particular looks very cool and modern, making it stand out in any studio or stage setting. One of the cons of the MPK Mini MK3 is its limited number of keys. The controller only has 25 keys, which may not be enough for some musicians who require a larger keyboard. Another con is that the keys are a little small and might be difficult to use for people with larger hands, but that's a tradeoff you have to make for portability. And portable it is! Very easy to throw in your backpack and take on the go. Overall, the Akai Professional MPK Mini MK3 is a great MIDI controller that offers a wide range of features and functionality. Its build quality and design make it stand out, but it's limited number and size of keys are a drawback. If you're in need of a compact and portable MIDI controller that offers a great playing experience, the MPK Mini MK3 is definitely worth considering. ... show more
