    What this needs to really fulfill the role of outdoor beat maker is a sequencer, even if it is a simple three tracks one, or, at the very least, a looper (Like the Yamaha PSS A50

      @@erikpaul8647 the Yamaha PSS A50 has a MIDI looper but it is more a portable keyboard than a synth (you won't be able to “sculpt” the on-board sounds). It's around $100. The option would be a SonicWare Liven XFm. It has a very capable 4 track sequencer, and a super flexible and deep FM synth engine. It takes batteries and includes a decent speaker. It'd be a little over $200 but that is less than the cost of the two Volcas. Oh, on top of that it allows you to sequence external gear (If you wanted to integrate it to a bigger set up).

    Looks interesting! I've got an MPK Mini MK3 and it's a great little controller (even a significant improvement over the MK2), but this would be tempting otherwise. Nice touch to have shift functions for the encoders so you still have the 8 controls.

    Novation X station was a mini controller that they realised it had enough CPUs to be a great (wee) synth. I have one and it has. Ok it hasn't got a mini speaker but it is great thing from years ago.

    It sounds like it’s got the same sounds from the previous Akai Mini Play which really is disappointing. The pads and knobs look a lot better but if they had included midi I/O and some different sound this would have been a better upgrade. 😕
