    • Well thought out, extremely portable
Style: MPK Mini Play
This MPK Mini Play MK3 is tiny and fits in my small overnight duffel along with a sustain pedal and stereo monitors (plus clothes and travel stuff)... amazing. I've owned many expensive full-size keyboards (like RD2000), and the synth sounds from this AKAI are surprisingly good and a reasonable General MIDI selection. Pianos, E-pianos, clav and harpsi are all good; organs are limited; basses are fine; string ensembles good but violin/viola not useful to me, drums are adequate, etc. The reverb is nice. The drum pads work while the keys are being played, so we've had two people playing on this tiny device... very fun. The keys are velocity sensitive (not weighted) and work fine for a 2-pound instrument. The joystick is very clever: push left to modulate volume (fade in, or volume dips for brass), right for vibrato, up and down for pitch shift. The octave transpose is essential (get the bass into the right register, get to the high strings) and designed just right. Too bad there isn't a chromatic transpose: for such a short keyboard, it would be nice to transpose on a song-by-song basis so we get the most of the keys that are here. The sustain pedal I like is item B08NSZFGC1, labeled Sovvid for $13. It works perfectly and is extremely lightweight. Most of my sustain pedals are very heavy, which is great for staying in place on stage but for travel this one is ideal. It is even lighter than a small footswitch. And it works with both electrical standards (normally open / normally closed). The lightweight speakers I carry are item B09PFGJ94L, Pyle 5.25" woofer 2-way active, though many other models (including active PC speakers with subwoofer) would work fine. Rated 300 watts (skeptica), these are plenty loud enough for a living room and they sound fine (but lacking deep powerful bass, as expected). Plug in the AKAI keyboard with a 3.5mm 15-ft stereo cable like Startech item B004G3WCNK $8. These Pyle speakers need a length of 2-conductor speaker or lamp cord to connect the passive speaker to the active one. In a pinch, the AKAI keyboard could be connected to a television analog audio input. The keyboard itself has a tiny speaker, but it's very limited. ... show more

Someone always asks “Is there a midi keyboard that has its own internal sounds?” Yes. The MPK Mini Play. “How many notes of polyphony? Is it velocity sensitive?” 32 notes. Yes, it’s velocity sensitive. “Does it have a looper or a sequencer?” Nope. It would be amazing if it did. “How are the sounds?” They are adequate You can modify them to some extent and it has some effects. “Who is this for?” Whoever wants a really small keyboard that makes sounds, takes batteries, and has its own built in speaker. It also can be used as a midi keyboard. “Aren’t there other small keyboards like that?” I have a Roland boutique with the optional keyboard in the picture next to the MPK Mini Play. It’s a bit larger, it can make a lot more different sounds but it costs a lot more. “Should I buy this keyboard?” Absolutely not. “What?!?” Alright. You should buy it. It really needs a sequencer, though. You could run it through a looper pedal, so you could make a drum beat, then play another instrument on top of it, but that costs as much as the Mini Play. “Dude, buy or no buy?” I really like the drum pads on this thing. The display is small but looks good, better than the dated display on the Roland Boutique. This thing is a couch synth for the casual player. Sometimes that’s all you need. If you need more, get more. It’s not a “real synth”, meaning you can’t design your own sounds from scratch. You can’t add any samples. But I paid $150, not $500 or $1000. Manage your expectations. ... show more

    • Having fun on the move done right.
Style: MPK Mini Play
The media could not be loaded. There aren't many options when thinking in midi controllers, built in sounds and built in speakers, AND portability. While most modern Casio or Yamaha personal keyboards got USB and can be used as midi controllers, none are as portable as this is. Except for the PSSA50 from Yamaha, which is the other one I was considering, but the lack of reverb and knobs made me move away from it. So I decided to give this akai a chance, and when I got it, I realized it is exactly what I wanted: -Super tiny and portable -Built in speaker (mono, yes, but good enough for playing around) -Built in very good quality sounds (many are really nice. The synth pads and brass are among my favorites) -4 knobs for tweaking with 2nd function each, you get 8 parameters that can be modified on the fly. This includes Attack, Release, equalizer for highs, eq for lows, amount of chorus effect, amount of reverb effect, filter and resonance, being these last two the most fun to use. -Arpeggiator. While it doesn't have a chord option, you can set amount of octaves, playing direction (let's say: random notes, notes up, notes down, up and down, exclude or include border notes. -I'm using 4 Epoch AA 1.5V lithium USB rechargeable batteries, they are quite new in the market but I can recommend them, I haven't had to recharge them yet and I'm using the keyboard on max volume for hours now. I'm still getting familiar with it, but first days with it surprised me quite a lot. I can recommend this keyboard if you want everything it sports. ... show more
