Akai Professional MPK Mini Mk2

with my macbook and my little baby mpk mini and a lot of vst's i make a lot of beats out of my home studio!

I use this for drum samples and knobs, but the keys are very wobbly and are a little bit too small for fast playing.

Affordable, velocity sensitive touch pads, all knobs programable, lightweight & USB no power source required.

Good for the price. Usefull with ableton live. but 3dstick controler isn't really good, cheap and inaccurate.

That red knob is little but powerful and it comes with great software.

Compact and Versatile is what describes this Akai midi controller. Provides all the essentials to create beats whether you are a pro or just a beginner getting your foot in the door! The 8 pads included are extremely sensitive which provides a quick response. 25 keys is fine especially for it being a mini controller, the only minor complaint I have about it are the small keys. Can create some tension in your arms when you using for a period of time, other than that I am satisfied!

i do allot on this keyboard the only downside is the small size.

I write with this baby everyday. Great price, amazing possibilities.

Either in the studio or in my backpack, great for a lot of applications, I just wish the MIDI CC mapping was more stable

This piece is small and portable. Perfect for small desks or travel. 25 Keys, pads and rotary knobs - and some other futuristic joystick for driving your spaceship back home.

great for making melodies and chords, also very portable and light.

Fast, Smart, Portable, Small, many feature

25 keys, 8 MPC-style pads, 8 MIDI-assignable knobs, on-board arpeggiator, & a joystick for X-Y manipulation all in one very portable package.

An excellent assistant control surface in the studio and on the go.

Never Underestimate The Akai MPK Mini! Despite Its Small Size, It Potential Lies Within What You Can Do With It. In Addition The Arpeggiator That Came With It Is Even A Plus Sign Too. Because You Can Rarely Find One Of This In A Budget MIDI Keyboard Like This

With a keyboard that can cover all octtaves and 8 launchpads for drums and sfx, this midi controller has everything you need, granted not in the most convenient way but for the price it's fantastic

I dont have the one pictured above, just the first version. Definitely useful for on the go for ideas.

This MIDI keyboard is awesome. Perfect for someone just starting out and learning, or an advanced pro musician. I know I will be using mine for a long time.

Really cool but limited! Perfect for beginners!

Works great in FL and Ableton both. It's compatible with just about every VST and DAW I've tried it with.

It has a little bit of everything which is exactly what's needed in a portable setup. Very easy to use. My gripe with it is that the keys don't have a terribly good feeling, but I doubt you can find better keys at this level.

Only complaint is that the most fragile part of the instrument is the Midi output/ power supply.

I love this Midi Keyboard. Especially the integration for Live 10 with the Drum Rack Plugin. Somehow I always have a weird pre-delay in it. Also the keys are kind of small and hard to regulate. So I only use it for finding quick melodies.

This is a great midi keyboard both for producing (beginners) and also to take it when on the road and doing live sets!!

This is and excelent option for producers that travels, is portable and affordable, i love it!!!

Great tool for low-budget! Compatible with every DAW and mappable for Live Performance

Very easy to set up. Just plug in the usb cable and you're good to go.

Super portable, full-featured MIDI keyboard.

Super portable and easy to use, offers a wide variety of settings. Make sure it doesn't get dusty and always keep it covered.

I've used this Keyboard for months now and I find it to be easy to use and VERY aesthetically pleasing. Its great for making up a quick melody. Its durable too. Of course its not a rock but if you treat any of your equipment right then you'll have no problem with this one. :)

This is a sweet controller! It's hard to complain about it, as it does everything it is advertised to do. I see a lot of reviews where people complain about the action of the key bed and the size of the knobs, although this product is not designed to be the optimal keyboard controller for performance. This controller is designed for portability. Keep that in mind. The construction is pretty solid. The keys do feel a bit flimsy though. Also, the joystick feels a bit cheap. But once again, this thing is only 100 bucks. Can't complain about too much for that price. The arpeggiator is a really nice addition as well.
