    • 3 Full Octaves
Color: Standard Style: MIDI Keyboard only
This is a much better keyboard than I was expecting. Really good fit and finish. Doesn’t feel cheap. Keys feel great despite their mini size. Quite portable. Works well with GarageBand, except the transport controls (play/pause/rec) don’t map for some reason. Still worth the price, in my opinion. There aren’t many alternatives with three full octaves. ... show more

    • Great Compatibility
Color: Standard Style: MIDI Keyboard only
Review Image by R. Tyson R. Tyson
The keys take a little adjustment, but once broken in it feels like quality item. It’s super lightweight and portable. Its compact form makes transporting this controller incredibly easy. The drum pads are a bit stiff but can be adjusted for better performance. The interface has a lot of control buttons, which can be intimidating at first but are incredibly easy to use. It’s plug and play with some setup required if you use a DAW other than the one it comes with; functions on any DAW regardless with instant response during play. Akai is known for their quality products, and with the three free, industry grade plugins that come with it, it makes this price seem like a bargain. ... show more

    • A fine upgrade that beats the mpk mini 3
Color: Standard Style: MIDI Keyboard only
Review Image by Musicandtheartofbeing Musicandtheartofbeing
The media could not be loaded. I can fit both hands on this 37 keyed midi controller that I've been using with Ableton Live . The stop and play, rewind ,etc.buttons make it easy to record with. The knobs go all the way around. The pads feel good ,they have 2 banks and several functions and the action on the keys is just right. There's a sequencer on there and it's capable of hooking up to synthesizers and drum machines with 5 pin in/out/USB/3.55mm but I haven't got that far with her yet but I will. The downside is there's not much literature on the mpk plus so good luck with that ,just a smattering of YouTube videos and some Reddit articles. Overall, I got it at a fair price and it's fun to play even though I haven't figured the whole thing out yet . I bought it to replace my Akai mpk mini 3 and I'm glad I got the mpk plus instead. I like it much better . It's more diverse and you can do more with it in a lot of different ways and it's still compact enough that it won't take up much room in your studio. Plus it's compatible with pretty much every DAW out there. So,if I were you and I needed a keyboard controller then I'd get this one because that's what I did. 😁 ... show more

    • My favorite out of all my midi keyboards
Color: Standard Style: MIDI Keyboard only
I love the amount of keys, love all the connections, the way it's set up, the quality. But there's something else, that may be just personal. This little guy just seems ready to make music. I have more expensive midi keyboards, some top of the line. This is the guy I want to grab to get ideas into my DAW. I think it might be Akai's quality. I love the little LPD8 as well. ... show more

    • Akai MPK Mini Plus - 37 keys feel decent. Pads are excellent. Sequencer is a plus
Color: Standard Style: MIDI Keyboard only
Spoiler: Definitely my favorite "controller" as tested. DISCLAIMER: I did not test any bundled software. This review is primarily an "out of the box", plug-and-play test. The vast majority of the playing, looping and configuration was in Garageband for iPad and a little in Logic Pro X for iPad. I watched a lot of reviews on YT and decided to try them for myself. I wasn't sure which controller would work best for me. I am relatively new to the DAW/MIDI controller world. I have dabbled in piano and synth for decades, but am definitely not an expert. Below is my take on the Akai MPK Mini Plus. Devices tested (for comparison): ⦁ Arturia Minilab 3 ⦁ M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini ⦁ Akai MPK Mini Plus - THE DEVICE BEING REVIEWED ⦁ Akai MPK Mini Play mk3 Things I liked about the Akai MPK Mini Plus: ⦁ Pads are best of breed. To me, they feel like they "should". Solid, not wobbly or sloppy. Easy to control precise strikes and velocity for beats. Akai pads are a big selling point for me. The MPK Mini Plus and Mini Play mk3 both have great pads. The Mini Plus are square and larger than Mini Play, but both are excellent. ⦁ MPK Mini Plus has 8 endless encoders. That's a good amount of controls to assign in your DAW. Without faders, 8 is probably a good idea. ⦁ Physical pitch and mod "wheels". They worked as expected. ⦁ Discreet transport controls, including sequencer play/stop. I like these on the Mini Plus. I definitely prefer discreet buttons to "shared" (especially if shared with pads). ⦁ 37 keys. Definitely my preference. 25 is very limiting, and 32 is an unnecessary middle ground. My opinion: go minimal (25) if space is extremely limited or go full 3 octaves (37). 32 keys doesn't make sense to me. ⦁ Sequencer: works well. Visuals are on the tiny OLED screen, but it works. ⦁ MIDI in AND out "plus". Only the Mini Plus has this many useful ports among the controllers I tested. Makes this more compatible and "future proof" as your needs/setup change. ⦁ Quite a lot of function labels on the face of the device. This makes it easier to use a "shift" keypress and the clearly labeled button/key to select a parameter. I find it easier to recall what function is where. Some may not like the "cluttered" labeling. Things I DISliked about the Akai MPK Mini Plus: ⦁ key feel was not bad, but not as good as Arturia. They were thinner, look and feel less like "real" keys. I was able to play smooth, melodic key parts pretty comfortably. I didn't adjust the velocity. Maybe that would have helped. ⦁ The preset for Garageband didn't map completely to iPad OS. None of the controllers I tested did, so this isn't really a dig on the Mini Play specifically. ⦁ No faders. Not sure that's a deal breaker for me, but might be for some. Overall build quality - Akai MPK Mini Plus: Excellent. Everything feels like quality. Pads are really, really good. Keys feel good, but not quite as good as Arturia. Encoder knobs feel really good. ... show more

The quality of this midi keyboard is incredible! Was expecting it to be flimsy and fragile, but it’s actually quite sturdy! I’m just starting out with music career and I did some research on what midi keyboard would be the best fit for me as music artist and producer! So over I’m am so happy that picked this midi keyboard! It’s not too heavy, it’s light weight but portable, and amazing quality, the drum pads are a little firm so you do have to tap on them with a little force but other then that I love the slick design, the colors, and it’s perfect for what will be using it for!! Would definitely recommend for starters! ... show more

    • MIDI with display, 37 Keys, controls, transport!
Color: Standard Style: MIDI Keyboard only
Has all the midi functionality you want along with CV gate in/out, MIDI in/out and control knobs for functions and the transport controls for stop play etc. to work with your DAW. Great little keyboard and if you download MPC beats - just fun! Akai does a great job. You have to use USB for power and you have to have a computer. It’s not a standalone that you could give as a first keyboard to a kid…in that case you might want to get the MPK mini play as that has a speaker but less functions. ... show more

This is a fine piece of equipment, but it is not yet compatible with Mac OS Sequoia. Fortunately, Ι have an old Mac still running an older Mac OS and it works fine with that. There's no word yet on their site concerning when it will be compatible. Hopefully, not too long.
