Product Description
The Akai MPK Mini IV builds on the legacy of the hugely popular MPK Mini MK3, introducing a range of upgrades that make it an even more powerful and versatile creative tool. While the MK3 set the standard with its improved keybed and intuitive workflow, the MK4 takes performance, control, and integration further, ensuring it remains the benchmark for compact MIDI controllers. The MPK Mini IV features a newly refined, industry-leading keybed for superior playability, along with real Pitch and Mod wheels that provide more precise control than the MK3’s four-way joystick. A vibrant full colour screen replaces the smaller OLED, offering clearer visual feedback and streamlined navigation. The upgraded RGB backlit MPC pads are now brighter and more responsive, enhancing beat-making and live performance capabilities. With expanded transport controls, seamless DAW mapping, and an enhanced arpeggiator with Pattern, Freeze, and Mutate functions, the MK4 offers deeper creative exploration than its predecessor. Crucially, connectivity has been improved with USB-C and a full-size MIDI output, making integration with external hardware and modern devices effortless. Paired with a collection of 1,000 professional sounds from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog, the MPK Mini IV not only improves upon the MK3’s portability and workflow but also redefines what a compact controller can deliver for musicians, producers, and performers alike.
Features
- Refined Keybed and Real Wheels:
An industry-leading keybed with enhanced responsiveness, paired with dedicated Pitch and Mod wheels, delivering greater precision and expressiveness than the MK3’s joystick control. - Full Colour Screen and Expanded Controls:
A larger, vibrant display provides clearer feedback, while additional transport controls mapped to DAWs streamline production compared with the MK3’s simpler layout. - Upgraded Connectivity and Sound Library:
Featuring USB-C, full-size MIDI output, and 1,000 professional presets from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog, significantly expanding beyond the MK3’s bundled software library.
Creative Control and Performance:
The MPK Mini IV elevates the hands-on control found in the MK3, swapping the joystick for real Pitch and Mod wheels for more natural playability. Its velocity-sensitive RGB pads, brighter and more responsive than those on the MK3, allow for expressive beat programming and live triggering. Eight rotary knobs remain at the heart of the interface but are complemented by expanded transport functions, giving users uninterrupted workflows directly within their DAW. The enhanced arpeggiator introduces new creative features, including Pattern, Freeze, and Mutate, offering far greater variety than the MK3’s more basic implementation.
Inspiring Sound Design Tools:
Where the MK3 shipped with MPC Beats and a useful starter sound library, the MPK Mini IV takes this further with direct access to 1,000 professionally designed presets. Drawn from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog instruments, these sounds provide immediate inspiration and professional quality. Scale and Chord Modes add additional musical support, keeping compositions in key and helping beginners and professionals alike to create harmonies and progressions with ease. Combined with the new arpeggiator functions, the MPK Mini IV offers deeper tools for exploration than its predecessor.
Studio and Stage Integration:
The MK3 set a standard for portability and DAW integration, but the MPK Mini IV improves upon this with greater connectivity and expanded compatibility. Pre-programmed DAW scripts provide seamless one-to-one mapping with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Bitwig, and Cubase, offering faster setup and tighter control than before. USB-C ensures reliable modern connectivity, while the addition of a full-size MIDI output allows direct integration with hardware synths and drum machines. At just 1kg, the controller maintains the MK3’s portability while enhancing durability and flexibility, making it equally effective in both studio setups and live performances.
