    • 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

    • 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

I received it really fast and it was on good conditions. It's perfect for what I need and it's great for beginners or pros. It's compatible with most daws out there (including the free ones). BUT... BUUUUUUUUUTTTT... (and this one is for you my fellow beginner that doesn't have much space on its computer and may not have a good internet speed); I have to be honest, dont waste time or space with the software... First you have to make an account at Akaipro to register your device, then download the software to download what's included (Hybrid 3, Mini Grand, MPC Beats and much more). After I downloaded all of them IN THE SOFTWARE, you have to install EACH ONE OF THEM, AND EACH ONE OF THEM RESTARTS YOUR COMPUTER... Ok no problem. BUT HOLD IT RIGHT THERE... Cuz somehow it downloads ILOK License Manager and you have to make ANOTHER ACCOUNT IN THERE so you can SOMEHOW try to get the license for each plugin... Don't take me wrong. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's a small uncomfortable process for a beginner like me and I don't recall having a hard time with other free plugins around. But it makes you wonder if it's worth it... is it? Aside from what I just said, it's REALLY good for most daws and for beginners, even if I upgrade my computer I don't think I need to replace this midi for a better one because THIS IS THE BETTER ONE and really good for it's price. The mini piano doesn't have a hard hammer and the quality of material is good. About the pads... you can see at the mini screen how much pressure you're using when pressing them. I highly recommend this midi. And as I said, think if the software is worth it or is what you're looking for... and if you are willing to go through that process. ... show more

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

    • 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
