    • Great and stylish little controller
Color: Grey Style: MPK Mini Only
Review Image by Damian Stelmach Damian Stelmach
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

    • I like it
Color: Black Style: MPK Mini Only
Simple, small, effective. Pads are good. They’re solid and reactive. I recommend this for sure.

    • 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

    • If you're buying this, you know what it is. A few cons though!
Color: Standard Style: MPK Mini Only
It's a MIDI keyboard, you need software on a MAC/PC/tablet in order to use it, and I have a lot of thoughts on whether you should buy it. As usual, I have a 2min version and a 5min version of my thoughts. Please at least read the 2min before you buy! 2 MINUTE VERSION PROS: it's a good MIDI keyboard, okay? The buttons do the things they are supposed to without breaking. It's well-built. The included virtual instruments are pretty decent (big CON on these down below). It's *highly* customizable. But. . . CONS: the keys are dinky. If you're expecting that, great, but I myself was expecting them to be at least a little bigger. Velocity curves are super janky out of the box. This is especially true for the pads. There are many undocumented features that I discovered through forums and tinkering. I could not find any supported software to configure the device, whereas previous models had full software to configure nearly aspect of the keyboard. The included virtual instruments sound great but do not come with VST versions for me to deploy in my DAW. The lack of documentation and supported software made this feel like a rushed product meant to secure sales. *Shrugs* Maybe the users and AKAI will create more documentation and discover easier ways to tweak this thing as it matures 5 MINUTE VERSION I'll start off by saying that I don't feel like I wasted money on this MIDI keyboard. Not by any stretch. But getting it to *work* has proven to be an investment of my time in addition to the buying price. First of all, do not buy this if you are learning how to play piano. Do yourself a favor and get something with full-sized keys. Piano is all muscle memory and you do not want to hurt yourself early on in your career. This doesn't have anything to do with the device itself but more pianos and keyboards in general. This is not a *learning* device for new piano players. But! It is a good *first* MIDI keyboard for producers because you will learn how these keyboards work, and learn how to troubleshoot them. The problem is, you have to troubleshoot it before you even start using it. The velocity curves are awful out of the box. The small keys with small travel do not help. If I do a CMinor run with the default settings, it is guaranteed that one note will be soft for no reason and one will be LOUD. Imagine this for whole songs, where you record the MIDI clip and then have to go through the MIDI data with a fine-tooth comb. That is actual production hell and please don't do that to yourself. To add insult to injury, there is no documented way to modify the velocity data in the keyboard itself, and there is no AKAI-supported software to do so. This documentation and this software exists for the Mk 2 version of this keyboard, so why it doesn't exist for the Mk 3 is absolutely baffling. It's a GREAT product, AKAI, so please include every little minute detail of what I can do with this thing in the packaging! I shouldn't have to bookmark forum pages that have documentation that is not included in the user manual or on your website. *Clears throat* Anyway, the velocity issue is most notable with the pads. You have to smack the absolutely dogcrap out of the pads to get them to register higher velocities. I was shaking my whole desk and still not hitting 100 Velocity with them. If you're drumming, especially with dynamic drums, this means everything will sound soft. Luckily enough, Ableton has a Velocity effect that can modify Velocity data as it enters the DAW. This fixed the keys as I could set a minimum velocity and maximum so the dynamics are more balanced. However, the pads still register too low on Velocity, so I ended up putting them on 'FULL LEVEL' so they always play at 127 (max) velocity. If I need dynamic drums, I go in and edit the velocity levels in the MIDI clip manually. I said earlier that this was production hell, and that opinion hasn't changed, but that is the only way the pads work for me because I cannot find any documentation on how to edit the 'pad' velocity anywhere. Keep in mind not every DAW has this ability, so Ableton is saving my booty here. For the keys, you can hold the FULL LEVEL button until a screen comes up with v1-4 and some numbers. You can increase V2 to increase the key velocity. Cool, right? Here's the thing: totally undocumented feature. There's a forum post about it, so if I go ham on these settings and that forum post gets edited or deleted, POOF. No documentation on the original settings and I will have to factory reset the whole keyboard. I hope you are seeing the problem now. Is it worth the money? Absolutely, not a dollar less. It's a wonderful product. If you buy it, be prepared for initial and ongoing troubleshooting to get it to work for you. If you are a budding producer, this will be great experience for you but will definitely prove frustrating. I hope they release official software for this soon, because I will be happy to edit this review when that happens. ... show more

    • Great mini controller!
Color: Black Style: MPK Mini Only
I looked at this as well as the MPK Mini Plus and Arturia MiniLab3. I chose the Mini Mk3 for its portability. It's solidly built and great for getting ideas down away from home. You can customize the mapping of the pads and knobs to match whatever software you're using, DAW or software synth. The included software gives you a lot to start with. It comes with a software synth called Hybrid, a piano and an electric piano, as well as expansion packs that give you access to a lot of drum kits and sampled instruments. I found the MPC Beats "How To" videos on YouTube very valuable in learning all the things it can do. MPC Beats is limited to 8 tracks, but for songwriting, that's more than enough. I got the all black colorway and love it. ... show more
