  • My favorite portable MIDI controller
Color: White
This is a seriously sweet controller! Not perfect, but excellent for portable work with a MacBook or an iPad. I would say I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews, but I do. They are mostly from folks who just didn't understand what they were getting into... This is a MIDI controller. As such, it must be attached to a device that can interpret it and produce sound (Logic/GarageBand on a Mac, or GarageBand on an iPad, for instance). If you just want to tinkle the keys it'll work out of the box with either, but to really get some use out of it you're going to have to load the Editor software and dig in a little bit. I did a bit of research, and was able to map out the things I wanted to do. As it turns out, Apple has 16 drum sounds that are available for the drum kits (not drum machines) in both GarageBands (Mac & iOS) and Logic. Better yet, they share 16 note numbers to trigger them. So I was able to setup the 8 pads with all 16 sounds using the A/B switch, and was able to group the sounds physically on the pads so it worked for me. I used two different "Prog"s, so I could have 2 different layouts, and then used my P-Touch label maker on the smallest font to create labels that tell me which sounds are where. I had to cut the labels with scissors to make them fit between the pads, but it worked and now I can see exactly what's where even when I haven't used it for weeks or months. I did the same thing with the knobs. Assigned basic values (Channel Vol, Pan, Modulation) to the most convenient knobs, then picked some of the more esoteric MIDI CC values so I could play with them for the other knobs. And labelled the whole mess so I would remember it. The sensitivity of the keys and the pads is great; better than the LPK25 or the LPD8 I think. Doesn't have aftertouch, but that's about all I can see missing (and that isn't a reasonable expectation at this price point). My only problem was connecting it to an iPad Pro, but I think I've got that figured out. Using just the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter didn't work; I got "Cannot Use Device. MPKmini2: The connected device requires too much power." Turns out I needed to connect it through a USB hub. I used an unpowered Satechi hub I had handy and it worked. That's got a long cord, though, so I'm going to try using a very inexpensive Sabrent 4-port unpowered USB 2.0 hub with a 6" cord. That should do the trick. The AmazonBasics 4-port 2.0 hub would be another option... The Editor software for this is MUCH easier to use than many I have tried. It's more straightforward than the editors for the LPK25 or the LPD8, and beats the Korg nano editors shamefully. And don't get me started on the Roli BLOCKS editor... Overall, this is the nicest portable MIDI controller I've found. Get the Khanka case for it and you'll be all set. Just make sure to put some dryer sheets or something in the Khanka case before you put the MPKmini in there; the case smells like something died... :) ... show more

  • Perfect
Color: White
I've had this keyboard since 2017 and didn't have much use for it as I did not know exactly what I'd use it for, I just knew I wanted it. Later in 2020 I started to use it more with Logic Pro to get some MIDI instruments for when I did not have access to my 88 key digital piano. Recently though I started to figure how to use the knobs and how to specify which knob controls what with Logic Pro & have been using it a lot more as a mixing device. Whether using it to play simple melodies or mixing, it's definitely a nice little keyboard to have. No way could it replace an actual 88 key piano but it does have its own perks. ... show more

  • AKAI MPK2 mini midi controller
Color: White
AKAI MPK2 mini midi controller Got this way back in 2016 Didnt take it serious until 2021 For all the reviews and finally using it I will say its the #1 portable midi keyboard available at a decent price used or new. MPC BEATS is a free software for beginning producers with plenty of tutorials and youtube videos to help you get the most out of the mini midi keyboard. Be sure to have your AKAI PROFILE LINKED TO YOUR SOFTWARE. ESPECIALLY YOUR EMAIL or else you wont be able to get its advertised features. Will work will any DAW & VST available. Pros: its small enough to take anywhere. Has 8 MPC drum pads 25 keys 8 knobs thumb stick to control bending and modulation of notes. Cons: its a midi controller. No sounds come with it and will require a computer to use. Most things you need to produce professional tracks will cost even more money. ... show more

  • Great product for the money!
Color: White
My 10 year old son is OBSESSED with music and wanted this for Christmas. My husband and I are not at all knowledgeable about electronic music or music editing, but with a combination of the AKAI website and list of free and recommended downloads and reading the tips from the positive reviews here, we were able to help him get up and running..at least using my MacBook... The biggest downfall of the product for us is that our son's computer is a Chromebook, and really none of the included or recommended software works on the Chrome platform because of the limited function of the simple laptops. We did eventually discover that he could get up and running on his computer (which is better...I don't want him always on mine...haha!) with Soundtrap and now he's experimenting with using Stagelight through the Play store but he really needs our old PC laptop that runs on Windows to enjoy all that the intended softwares have to offer. I'll agree, though, with not understanding why there are so many negative reviews. So far our experience is that this is a great beginner music product that altho it's not "plug and play" it has been very fun experimenting with and figuring out. ... show more

  • Nice I really can’t complain for the price
Color: White
I bought this thinking it would be a little easier to set up but then as I began to set it up I came to an issue: my Mac is slow as hell. I was able to eventually set it up and start using it but it took forever in and some days. Everyday I use the Akai, I’m using GarageBand and MPC I’m finding more potential with it. I have heard the Akai Pro Mini II works great with pro tools and Logic Pro X but you do have to sit at the computer with a lot of patience and a some hard liquor at hand because trust me your gonna need it. Next thing you know you’ll feel like Travis Scott ,Scott Storch, Timberland or Swizz Beats. Akai should pay me for this comment... ... show more
