Perfect Midi Keyboard for Beginners
Style: MPK Mini MK3 Color: Standard
I love this Midi because of how easy it is to use and learn. I watched a few videos and I was able to figure it out. It is reasonably priced, and it works as described. It’s very portable. I would also suggest buying a case for it so you can carry it around with you while keeping it safe. This midi only plays sound when connected to a digital audio workstation like FL studio or GarageBand, but it sounds great when connected. 10/10 would recommend. ... show more

Nice
Style: MPK Mini MK3 Color: Standard
bought on a school grant for a music tech class and liked it so much I asked to retake the class. Owned for a year everything still works. I got a case for it and usb to c converter and write stuff on my iPad in GarageBand I recommend Logic Pro if you can afford it. I never figured out how to re assign the drum pads tho but that’s on me ... show more

Don't let the color fool you; this is an incredible instrument
Style: MPK Mini MK3 Color: Standard
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 piece of kit
Style: MPK Mini MK3 Color: Standard
I recently purchased the AKAI MPK Mini mk 2 as an additional MIDI keyboard to use with my laptop, mainly as a means of adding a degree of portability to composing. That being said, I have since been using it with my iMac and Dorico so that I do not have to keep unplugging and plugging in my main MIDI keyboard. I have tried the AKAI MPK Mini on Cubase and everything seems to work well. I have also been using it with Dorico on Mac and it works equally well. It seems a solid piece of kit and very playable, despite the small keys and their limited number. I think it is perfect for the purpose that I had in mind as it is very compact and rugged. It is easy to switch the octave up and down, which given the limited number of keys is important. If you want something compact, rugged, and nicely versatile you should perhaps check this out . ... show more

Still Working Great After 4+ Years
Style: MPK Mini MK3 Color: Standard
I’ve been using this Akai MPK Mini for more than 4 years, and it has never disappointed me. It’s reliable, compact, and perfect for music production. The keys, pads, and knobs still work great, and it’s been an essential part of my studio setup for years. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced producer, this is one of the best MIDI keyboards you can buy for the price. Highly recommended! ... show more

It's just as the Youtube Videos describe. A gotta have that feels solid in its construction. The keys are fine and the buttons, knobs, and touch pads are very usable.

If you're new to MIDI read this. STEEP learning curve.
Style: MPK Mini MK3 Color: Standard
First off, this is a nice unit, I'm sure works well and worth the cost, in fact I'm amazed it's so cheap. However, I know nothing about MIDI, and bought this with the idea of getting my toes wet. I will freely admit the main issue here is with my expectations and patience, so I wanted to share with you so you don't have the same frustration 1. This does nothing by itself. It's like buying a TV remote without a tv. or Xbox controller without an Xbox 2. You plug it into a computer, it lights up, still does nothing. 3. You have to have software to run it. AKAI offers a a free package, however it took me over an hour to register the unit, and download and install the software. It can maybe run with other software, but it wouldn't work with Audacity, or Musescore, the only ones I've used 4. I was then able to make noises with it, but there's nothing intuitive about it. There are some online tutorials, some I'm sure very good, though the first one I watched the demonstrator couldn't get it to work right away. 5. So if you have the time and (mostly) interest in learning how all the software and buttons works, you'll likely love it. But like the Xbox example, unless you're willing to spend time on the game it isn't a lot of fun. 6. I picked up my acoustic guitar, played a few tunes, and wrote this. ... show more
