AKAI Professional MPK Mini Plus - 37 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with 8 MPC Pads, Sequencer, MIDI/CV/Gate I/O, and Music Production Software

Product Information

Advanced connectivity easily and fully unites all your favorite studio devices for complete and expanded hardware integration in a compact 3-octave design. These apps will install on your computer when you run the plugin installers from the MPK mini Software Manager. With more keys on the 37-note Gen 2 Keybed, MPC plugin instruments like Electric and Tubesynth will come alive with extended sonic range. You must be employed at least 16 hours per week, self-employed, retired in receipt of a pension or receiving disability payments.

We encourage all our dedicated product owners to refrain from updating to macOS 14 Sonoma until full compatibility with the new operating system can be confirmed. Incorporating the same keybed from the MPK Mini, the MPK Mini Plus enhances this expressive design with the addition of dedicated Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels. The authorization code for your AIR plugins will be located in your Akai account under the Software Downloads section in My Registered Products.Even with 3 octaves, MPK Mini Plus will fit in your gig bag to easily transport alongside everyday music production items. Best of all, the Mini Plus comes bundled with a copy of Akai’s MPC Beats DAW, allowing you to instantly come up with your own creations as soon as your controller arrives at your door.

There are also 8 real MPC drum pads, backlit and velocity sensitive that work not only as a creative surface for playing drums but also as program change and other MIDI CC triggers. After installing the application, find and open the iLok License Manager from your Programs or Applications folder.It gives you the ability to enjoy playing music earlier, so you remain more enthusiast, and on the long run it help you with learning the scales.

Note: If you do not see any icons under the Expansions tab, it's likely that the Sample Packs have not been installed yet. Providing added expression for both live performances and studio sessions, the inclusion of the wheels expands your sonic palette, allowing you to make on-the-fly changes to timbre and pitch. As with so many modern MIDI keyboards, the MPK Mini Plus offers Chord and Scale modes - used for triggering chords with a single key and locking the keyboard to a selected scale respectively.This includes your DAW, other editors and even web browsers (yes, even Google Chrome wants to use your MIDI keyboard). The second-generation version of Akai’s Dynamic mini keybed offers a good, responsive feel and nice playability.
