Akai MPK Mini Mk3 Red 25-Key USB MIDI Keyboard

25-KEY MINI USB MIDI MASTER KEYBOARD

Akai Professional launches the brand new MPK MINI MKIII keyboard, a 25-mini-key USB MIDI controller with 8 velocity-sensitive MPC pads, 8 360° rotary potentiometers, a joystick for pitch bend and modulation control, and a sustain pedal input. It comes with a rich set of sounds and music software to produce music.

From universal compatibility for immediate integration into your favorite production software to its compact size, perfect for travelers who love to compose on-the-road, from pads to assignable potentiometers to take control of all aspects of your music productions.

THE MPK MINI'S 360° ENCODERS

The third generation of the MPK mini MIDI USB controller features 360° rotary potentiometers, to control the parameters of your virtual instruments, DAW software and all applications that support MIDI Learn mapping (refer to your software manual).

In addition, these controls allow you to modify the parameter values of the arpeggiator and Note Repeat function integrated into the instrument: simply hold down one of the "Arpeggiator On/Off" or "Note Repeat" keys while rotating the potentiometers. The silkscreen below the knobs indicates the parameter you will control for the aforementioned integrated functions.

THE MPK MINI'S OLED DISPLAY

Compared to previous models, Akai Professional has introduced an extremely intelligible OLED display in this generation of mini USB MIDI master keyboards, to always have the value of the parameters you are controlling in view and to allow you to make settings that were not directly possible on the hardware in previous models.

MPK MINI MPK3 OPTIMIZED DESIGN AND ROBUSTNESS

Always designed for on-the-road use, to be carried in your backpack, laptop bag or record case, this third-generation model, available in three different colors (classic, white, and black), the MPK mini series features constructive care and high-quality materials for maximum reliability.

USB connectivity is truly plug-n-play, as it is a USB MIDI Class-Compliant device that does not require driver installation and is powered directly by your PC and Mac computer.
