About this deal

The eight knobs are still here, but now they rotate 360 degrees, giving you enhanced control of some functions. They also have built-in presets if you use the MPC software. OLED Display The MPC Beats Installer will automatically open. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the installation. Opting for the Play means that you sacrifice some encoders, which are replaced by a collection of buttons. Reason? The MPK Mini Play does not rely on a DAW. Instead, it’s designed to help you scat out beats and melodies ‘on to go’ using a bank of pre-installed sounds. So essentially, this midi controller is really more of a keyboard – one that we may add runs on AA batteries. Akai MPK Mini MK3: the good, the bad and the ugly

For the MK3, Akai has added a “Gen 2 Enhanced Dynamic Keybed.” One of the criticisms of the MK2 was that the keys felt cheap and flimsy, so it seems the company is seeking to improve in this area. The keys are still smallish, but they feel more responsive than the MK2’s keys do.

If you need a backpack-ready controller keyboard, there’s almost too much choice, but Akai's latest is pretty special

And while keyfeel really does depend on how you prefer to play, we’re secret fans of the keys on the MPK Mini (shshhhh). There’s not a lot happening here as far as inputs and outputs. Everything is controlled and powered over a single USB MIDI connection, using a standard cable you probably already have lying around. There’s also a quarter-inch sustain pedal input. You’ll find a range of other controls here as well, including three pad control buttons: bank switching, CC, and prog change. There’s also a prog select button on the right. The MK3 just looks sexier and more pro. Put both controllers side by side and the MK2 looks like a toy.The MK3 includes an LED screen – something the MK2 didn’t – to show you the BPM + the velocity at which you hit each drum pad. Small, but useful. for the controls, the software and customixation options, portability nature of it and the overall look and feel, the AKAI MINI MPK is one of the cheapest midi controllers on the market. x_button shape=”rounded” size=”x-large” float=”none” href=”https://makebeats101.com/details/ammmr/akai-mpk-mini-mk2″ target=”blank” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover”]Learn More About The Akai MPK Mini MK2[/x_button]
