  • 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

  • New love for midi controllers!
Color: Grey Style: MPK Mini Only
About 8 years ago i had bought a pretty decent midi controller (different company) in hopes I’d use it and make some cool riffs and beats. Nada. Played around a little. But it was confusing with all the buttons and switches so I never really had the time to learn what i was doing. Fast forward to now. Saw this mpk3 mini and figured maybe THIS is what I was looking for way back then. It was!! I immediately hooked it up to my ipad via the powered camera adapter plugged into the wall. No need to figure much out. Very plug and play friendly, at least for the ipad from what i can tell. Works great with garage band! The pads, keys are all velocity sensitive and expressive. Links up to the BPM which is cool. The keys and shell feel very solid for the price too! Haven’t hooked it up to my computer rig yet. But just the fact that i was able to hook it up to garage band and make most of a song in an hour makes it worth it! ... show more

  • good keyboard, software janky
Color: Grey Style: MPK Mini Only
keyboard works and functions great after some 3rd part software assistance. the software this device comes with is not the best or easy to use, however the keyboard is awesome and with is use of my composing software and many hours of settings adjustments and keybinding its a great device, small and high enough quality to feel great and work great. ... show more

  • Best 100 bucks I've ever spent!
Color: Grey Style: MPK Mini Only
The media could not be loaded. I got this product based off of reviews. The drum pad feels smooth and is tentative to the velocity of each press. The keys have some weight to it. The controller feels sturdy and more expensive than it is. And it was a pretty easy set up right out the box. Made a demo track within the first hour of getting it. The MPC software is a learning curve, but there's tons of videos online that help with learning it. The grey color looks the best! This has become my latest obsession. ... show more

  • Awesome product, but remember...
Color: Grey Style: MPK Mini Only
It's an awesome product, but remember that having a piece of awesome equipment doesn't make you a better musician. I and many others have purchased this and similar items with the expectation that we were limited by our hardware, in reality, it was us that needed to learn to utilize the software. Otherwise, it's great! The velocity sensitive keys are very useful, the dials only seem to effect the drum pads, the joy stick is responsive, the drum pads are a little stiff and take getting used to, and the overall interface is a bit of a challenge. It is not a device you open up and immediately know how to use in every aspect, it takes time and research to fully utilize it. Regardless, it still works very well and is a useful tool for streamlining music production! ... show more

  • Thick Pads / Easy to Program / Compact
Color: Grey Style: MPK Mini Only
The pads on the MPK Mini Mk3 must be among the highest quality pads among compact MIDI controllers at a similar prize. They have that classic MPC-type fat/thick feel to them. They have a high sensitivity to velocity, but the controller also has a "full level" button. The MPK Mini also has a "note repeat" button, which I find really useful for sequencing closed hi-hats, etc. I also like to program the 8 encoders to control hardware synths, etc. By the way, the app for this MPK Mini is really easy to use, you can assign the pads and keys/encoders different MIDI channels, and you can save presets. I only wish it had a real MIDI out, instead of only a USB port. ... show more
