    • LOVE IT
Color: Standard Style: MPK Mini Only
I've been using the Akai MPK Mini MK3 for a few weeks now and I have to say—I'm seriously impressed. As someone who travels a lot but still wants to create music on the go, this controller is perfect. It's super compact and lightweight, but still feels solid and well-built. The keys are mini-sized, so it takes a bit of getting used to, especially if you're coming from a full-size keyboard. But they’re surprisingly responsive and great for sketching out ideas. The pads are a real highlight—very responsive and satisfyingly clicky. I've been using them for finger drumming and triggering samples, and they perform great. The rotary knobs are smooth and endless, which is amazing for tweaking synth parameters or mixing on the fly. The little OLED screen is a nice touch—it’s small but gives you just enough feedback to make it useful. The 4-way joystick for pitch/mod control is cool too, though I prefer the classic wheels for more precision. One of the biggest wins is the bundled software. You get MPC Beats (which is a solid DAW, especially for beat-making) and some really good virtual instruments. It’s practically a full studio-in-a-box. If you're a beginner or a producer looking for a portable solution, this thing delivers big time. Would absolutely recommend! ... show more

    • Great
Color: Standard Style: MPK Mini Only
Great product just doesn't work well with FL studios for me, mapping was complicated and I like the simplicity of other FL studio friendly midi keyboards. But still great if you can function it and have a lot of time on your hand

    • Compact and powerful little MIDI controller
Color: Black Style: MPK Mini Only
Needed something portable for music production on the go. This fits the bill. Sounds great! Pads and knobs are responsive, and the keys feel decent for the size. Light worthy for easy transport. Plug and play was easy.

    • WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU! READ BEFORE BUYING for complete noobs like me
Color: Standard Style: MPK Mini Only
WE are brand new to music making. I got this for my son who is 11 but likes to randomly beat box and I think he has a good ear for music (he also takes drum lessons). I wanted to get him involved in something more productive and creative than video games which he can spend 12 hours a day on if I don't unplug them.... 1. This thing does not have a speaker 2. It's NOT plug and play: it requires a computer or tablet for power and that is where your audio will come from unless you use headphones, it has a jack in the back maybe for external speakers or headphones? 3. Super cheap right?! WRONG: you have to LOAD different sound packs (different beats/ instruments) but the best ones are in their store and can add up easily to hundreds of dollars...that is probably where they make most of their money, not from this little device 4. Installation was a PAIN!!! My son has a windows PC (i use a mac) so I really couldn't stand figuring out how to install first the software that manages plug ins and packs and then the ACTUAL MUSIC MAKING software called MPC beats 5. This thing does work with different audio programs besides the one Akai makes so you just have to do some research 6. We learned A LOT FROM YOUTUBE !!!! They have their own youtube as well but many people post tutorials which help a lot. 7. Using a tablet (like an ipad mini) does not give the device any power so you have to get external power for it if you want to use it with certain tablets 8. They have their own beats academy but the links don't work so we resorted to youtube, plenty of good tutorials 9. The square buttons (pads) have to be programmed to different sounds / instruments / packs. We couldn't get any sound to come out of this thing and didn't understand it until we watched a bunch of videos that you have to really customize it (in the MPC beats program) 10. My son didn't want to deal with all this he just wanted to play and very quickly told me he hates it and to return it. I told him we have 30 days lets at least make the effort to figure it out. I found a bunch of tutorials on youtube and sent them to him to watch. I said watch them and do everything they tell you. Only if u STILL can't figure it out or if the thing doesn't work we can then assume it's broken.... 11. After he watched some tutorials, he very quickly figured a lot of stuff out and FINALLY I WAS HEARING SOME BEATS!!! he learned how to record and we are currently figuring out how to load / program the pads to different sounds and trying to see if we can find any good free packs or if we should buy some.... 12. My son definitely spent some time playing around with sounds even after I told him we can finish the rest tomorrow and he can go play his games. 13. BE PATIENT, WATCH TUTORIALS once you do all that it will be worth it. 14. Be ready to invest some money into expansion packs on their website / explore other software 15. Great way to get your kids to feel like they are playing / gaming without them wasting their life away on gaming. My son also likes to code where he imports music from youtube and now he can make his own music for his coding projects so it's a win/win. 4 stars only because it was quite complex to install and learn there was no easy instructions included I had to google everything. They should include a video tutorial QR code ... show more

Who doesn't love a new midi controller? I like it. looks nice, lots of functionality. My only question why is there not a start/stop button on here? They got everything else. it's useful to have for workflow. U could probably program a pad or something to do it but that's basic to me
