Product Description

The Akai MPK Mini MK3 is the third instalment of one of the most popular mini keyboard controllers currently on the market. It's the perfect entry-level piece of gear for embarking on your music production journey with.

Producers Toolkit 

This intuitive instrument distills all of the key tools required by a producer into one compact unit. From a range of pads and assignable controls, to immediate integration with your preferred music production software and a new and improved Generation 2 enhanced dynamic keybed, this controller punches well above its weight. 

Packing all of these features (and more) into such small dimensions means it's the perfect portable companion for producing on-the-move too. A durable construction, user-friendly layout and plug in and play connectivity ensures there are no barriers to getting stuck-in whatsoever - no matter where you might find yourself!  

Hands-on Creativity 

The Gen 2 keybed forms the backbone of the controller. It offers a feel and performance that rivals models with bigger layouts. Whichever virtual instrument, synth or piano sound you select, your creativity will stem from the Gen 2 keybed first and foremost. 

This is complimented by the 8 pads derived from Akai's pioneering MPC range. They're perfect for sample playback and accurate beat-making - with a velocity sensitive architecture that makes them highly reactive to your playing.

Using the in-built rotary knobs, you'll be able to take full control over a variety of different assignable parameters. Whether it's altering the dry/wet setting of your reverb, or tweaking the EQ a bit, you can change a multitude of different characteristics to suit your sounds. Alongside this, you have even more options available to you thanks to an arpeggiator, note repeat function and an omni-directional joystick.
