  • Excellent keyboard!
Size: MPK Mini Style: MPK Mini Only
I bought this Akai keyboard as just a hobbyist to make some music again. The build quality is solid, and feels premium for a consumer keyboard. The keys are responsive and very accurate. I’m primarily using this with GarageBand, but it works with almost any DAW out there- plus you can download MPC beats for free from Akai. Personally, I was a bit frustrated trying to get started with MPC Beats, so I switched back to GarageBand. I’ve used this on my Mac and iPad with no issues whatsoever and every synth app works perfectly with it. Pros: - Good value - Excellent for beginners and casual musicians - Joystick is a great tool for pitch and mod Cons: - Should have USB C connector instead of old style USB A - User manual could be better and more suited to beginners. I had to search online for tutorials on basic functions. Verdict: Compared to a $50 midi usb keyboard I had before, this Akai Mini was a solid upgrade for my needs. I’ve been very happy overall, and actually enjoy making music again, and improving my skills. ... show more

  • Fantastic Value for the Money!
Size: MPK Mini Style: MPK Mini Only
I own the AKAI MPK mini MK2. I purchased the MK2 4 years ago and I still am very pleased with the controller. I saw the newer version of the MK3 months ago and without hesitation purchased it because I knew from my experience with the MK2, it had to be great and it truly is!! First, the keyboard is much better as advertised and the buttons are way more professional. The backlit display is an excellent addition because it helps with fine tuning. The pads have been improved and the 360 degree control knobs are easier to use, more accurate, and feel more professional. The same awesome features as the MK2 are included and believe me I could spend a week explaining all of the features of this controller! It is a bargain buy for the beginner in music production and works well for even the seasoned producer. It's ultra-portable, light weight, and you can connect a sustain pedal to it. The software is 300% easier to install than the MK2 and you can begin making music within minutes depending on your internet connection. I installed the included VSTs into my DAW and the process was straight forward. The included software makes this a no-brainer when deciding to purchase a MIDI controller. I use the included Hybrid a lot when making music. Hybrid alone is worth the price of the controller, in my opinion. I am very satisfied with my purchase of the AKAI MPK mini MK3 and would recommend it to anyone who likes to make music! ... show more

  • EAST TO INSTALL AND JUST WORKS!
Size: MPK Mini Style: MPK Mini Only
I’m a gtr player. Haven’t done MIDI in years but needed to drive my drum software (EZ Drummer) and just needed something inexpensive and compact to use with Studio One. I originally bought a Novation Launchpad. I spent 2 solid days trying to get it to work. All I can say is what a P.O.S. Hours spent on this useless device that I’ll never get back! So I took a chance on the Akai. Installed and worked perfectly right from the start. The keys were a little smaller than I expected but the Pads are Perfect! The feel is steller and they are just what I needed to program drums. And at $99, what’s not to like? ... show more

  • If you're buying this, you know what it is. A few cons though!
Size: MPK Mini 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 device

Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas, and he uses it every moment if his spare time. He says he rates it 100/100. He's making lots of cool music with it already.
