  • Best starter controller I've come across
Style: MPK Mini MK4 Color: Grey
Been producing on and off for a couple years and finally picked up a dedicated controller. The MPK Mini punches well above its size. 25 keys is limiting for full playing but for production work — laying down melodies, triggering samples, tweaking parameters — it covers everything I need without taking up half my desk. The MPC pads are responsive and have enough sensitivity to actually play dynamically rather than just tapping on buttons. The 360° knobs feel solid and map easily to most DAWs without much setup. Pitch and mod wheels are a nice inclusion at this price point. Small but functional and they don't feel like an afterthought. USB-C is the right call. Plug in, recognized instantly, no driver headaches. The bundled software and Native Instruments sound package give you enough to start making music immediately without spending more on plugins right away. Compact, well-built, and genuinely useful whether you're just starting out or need a portable controller to travel with. Hard to beat at this price. ... show more

  • Akai MPK Mini 4 MIDI Keyboard Controller Is Built and Performs Great
Style: MPK Mini MK4 Color: Black
The Akai MPK Mini 4 MIDI Keyboard Controller is a well constructed unit with a nice feel to the keys (unweighted), drum pads, pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel and control knobs. The Akai MPK Mini 4 allows you to easily edit the controls and pads from the front panel without a need for software. Just enter into the edit mode and setup the pads and controls the way you want and save the setup to user locations 4 through 14. There are four preset configuration locations 1-4 that are used for popular DAW software and one plugin setup. Most of the control buttons and pads are labeled with a function and the "Shift" key allows for a second set of system editing operations which are labeled under each button and pads. The setups are quick and easy, just look at the clearly written owners manual for the steps to follow. The Akai MPK Mini 4 also comes bundled with production software and 1,000 free sound and loops. There are also links to the Akai store where you can purchase extra sound and loop bundles in various genres of music. I also appreciate the Akai MPK Mini 4 provides a 1/4 inch sustain pedal jack and full sized Midi output jack to connect directly to professional and older Midi keyboards and drum machines. That Midi output jack makes it possible to control an older keyboard or drum machine that may have worn out buttons and knobs that don't work any more from the Akai MPK Mini 4 keyboard controller with a custom setup that can be saved to a memory location in the Akai MPK Mini 4. I have just one complaint about the Akai MPK Mini 4 because it will not allow you to hear the sounds you assign to the trigger pads while in edit mode. You can use a General Midi drum map to assign note numbers to the pads with ease but you can not hear the sounds being triggered until you save the edited setup. So technically my star rating would be a 4.5 Stars but Amazon does not do half star ratings. I did some research and it seem that not being able to hear the sounds as you edit the trigger pads is actually a manufacturers choice/preference and is a simple firmware setup issue. Making a midi controller that allows you to hear the sounds of the edits as you make them is a very helpful feature that I hope Akai will address in a future Firmware update. But, the Akai MPK Mini 4 is still a great controller. ... show more

  • Truly a step up
Style: MPK Mini MK4 Color: Black
Owned for a few months now. Coming over from a arturia minilab mk2, this akai MIDI controller is generational leaps ahead. The built in arpeggiator and chord modes are really great and the menus are easy to use.. Not as fancy as a keystep or anything dedicated to MIDI sequencing, but it's everything I'd need in daily work imo. I really like the drum pads and knobs personally. Having pitch and mod *wheels* is a game changer over the sliders. Key feel is good. Not weighted like arturia mini controllers, but it's very consistent doesn't get in the way. Doesn't feel cheap at all. It feels very study, but is also light and compact enough to just put in a backpack. They did a really good job with making everything compact without feeling cramped to use. The USB-C connection is a welcome upgrade too. The aesthetics are also excellent. The black model is gorgeous, and to me is more timelessly beautiful than the gray model, though I love the retro look of that one as well. Setting up software was easy. Setting up akai's automatic bindings to daws worked perfectly fine with Logic, FL Studio, and Ableton 11 for me. It was astonishingly well documented and the instructions were very clear. Definitely feel well taken care of on the software side, which I definitely cannot say the same for other manufacturers. The bundled Akai Studio Instrument is leagues beyond what I expected to be honest. It's surprisingly high quality. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get this controller for access to that, but the included plugin is definitely up at the same quality level as analog lab. Overall, it's great. For the money it's the best value mini MIDI controller imo. ... show more

  • Nice features for the price, good as workstation controller
Style: MPK Mini MK4 Color: Black
It’s ok, and at the price hard to beat for a workstation. It is not the keyboard you want for performance - the mini keys and the feel/responsiveness of the keys and pads could be better. The menuing system takes some patience and isn’t very discoverable or friendly. On the plus side, it works great with Garage Band after installing the script, and basic operation with Tracktion DAW was plug and play. The Native Instruments plugin is a welcome addition. The footprint on my desk is tiny and works well for sketching ideas. ... show more

  • This has taken my music production to a whole new level. This has taken my music production to a whole new level.
Style: MPK Mini MK4 Color: Grey
I bought the Akai MPK Mini IV Midi controller and it is just amazing. It integrates very well with the included Ableton software. I watched a lot of YouTube videos to learn how to use both Ableton and the MIDI controller. After 4 weeks I feel very comfortable about using it and I have been able to create several pieces of top professional sounding music, that I can use as background for my YouTube videos. I could not be any more happy with this product. I already had quite a lot of experience with music production using Steinberg Q-base, but I find this combo between the Akai controller and Ableton to be exceptionally good. For me it was like a whole new world of creativity opening. The Akai Studio Instrument package is really good as well with high quality instruments, way better than the basic sounding ones I had in Q-base. I have worked a lot with mastering and mixing my music (and watched a lot of videos about it as well on Youtube). For the first time I have been able really to understand this process and been able to apply it to my music in Ableton. This takes everything to a whole new level. This is absolutely a purchase I can recommend in every way. For $99 I feel I got value for thousands of dollars. You just can't beat this. I'm a private person, not sponsered by anyone. Used my own money for the purchase (just to be clear about that). ... show more

Super fun midi controller. Great price for the software and hardware. Really cool retro color scheme in my opinion. USB C is awesome. Small enough to keep on my desk, big enough to be able to use well. I wanted a synthesizer but couldn’t afford or justify it, this is a great entry point for a beginner like me! ... show more

  • Excellent value. Very good product.
Style: MPK Mini MK4 Color: Black
Excellent product. Great value. For the reviewer who stated, "I guess the studio instrument collection was intended to be used live and you cannot record it and use it in your mixes. That's a shame. If it wasn't for that, I would give the product a five star rate. If someone knows how to use the instrument collection in a recording, please tell me": I believe the Studio Instrument Collection sounds actually can be recorded. At the top right of the software site where the three bars are, drop down the options and choose 'Audio & Midi Settings'. Then click on 'Output'. My Zoom recorder showed up as one of the options. So did my Universal Audio Volt (Asio). ... show more
