The beat you laid down at 6:00. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow! Was going to buy an MPK 225 but I saw this at the store as well! Came back home to do some research and man this has me hooked! Portable and small, cv connections, step sequencer, chord and scales mode, easily compatible with Ableton, and compatible and integrated for the MPC Studio I recently just bought!! This is a no brainer only thing missing is the fully semi weighted keys that the mpk 225 has but that’s an 8+ year old machine. First midi was an Akai MPK Mini mk2 so I already know the workflow but this adds more features and more keys too! Sold! Thank you Akai! New products have been amazing and the touch strip on the Akai MPC Studio Mk2 is amazing!
I ordered one of these as soon as I saw it! Excited to try this out.
Great video and nice to see and hear someone who can play not just talk!
Lots of punch to this small device. Well done, Akai! $170 is a fair price for what this brings to the table in this form factor.
I wish this came out before I bought the keystep 37
Fair. It's a super value.
170!?!? *slams bills*
MSRP says 349USD. I guess this is will be the price in most Asian countries.
Meh. Doesn’t really have the build quality to justify the cost.
Wow. Thanks AKAI Finally someone produced a competitor for keystep!
I like this Keyboard with the MPC Live 2! It's awesome workflow!
Yo are the MPC live You have been using this keyboard with your live 2 at the same time If possible I wanted to play Live keys in in key Is this work flow possible if you understand what I'm saying
This came at the right time for me just after my mpk mini 2 broke down from using it so much! Cannot wait to get mine delivered in nov!
Do you find that you can confidently play these mini keys? I want one of these for live performance but I doubt the form factor for accurate live piano, cheers!
Hey. Did you get it? can I ask you how to find CC button? I have previous mpk mini, and it has a button CC, which means I can switch Midi CC Message instead of Midi note on the pad section. I need that for the live performances, where I can switch it really fast. I want to order it but just this one thing…. thaaank u 🎉
Wow, what a great mini keyboard! 👍😀😍
Just got can’t wait to unbox & get to work
pretty comprehensive right there
great work, AKAI. THANK YOU.
Just ordered mine today.. perfect timing since my the keys of original mpk mini went out.
Very valuable lessons 👍🏻👍🏻
Very impressive!
great educational walkthrough! I have mine on order. very excited after crashing and burning on launchkey mini mk3 and korg nanokey studio as an ipad musician. this seems way easier to dial everything as needed for various ipad apps.

I love it ! 👍
Nice!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
🌊🌊🌊🌊 getting this
If this fits my laptop bag it's a complete no brainer, what a great portable keyboard. Could even see me putting this on my desk as a "go to" for my desktop machine.. Because all my keys are to the side of me which is annoying at times.
I got the same exact thought because of the same issue
may have to get this as a keyboard for my Roland boutiques! Looks like an upgrade to my mpk 25 mini I have
I’m thinking the same thing! I also have the Mpk mini 25
This is looking like a very dominant competitor to arturia's keystep 37 and launchkey
the fact that they dropped this like a day after Arturia’s event had to be intentional 😉 looks like I know what I’ll be getting instead of the new minilab
No lie, I just got the email from Arturia too!
Lmaoooo
I’m pissed I just got the mpk 3 3 weeks ago and didn’t know they was gonna just drop this out the blue
THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL all the time i was like 'if only keystep 37 had drum pads and physical wheels' and there it fucking is WEEEE
got it, love it.
Well I know what I am getting myself for my b-day 🎉
Thank God Akai let Andy Macaroni do the demonstration.
Buying one tomorrow
This paired with an iPad is killer
I ❤️ AKAI
I like it.
Great 👍 presentation
Need this to add to the mini 2.nice.under 200.bought🔥💯
i love it 🥰 🥰
Great job now release the limited edition colors especially the mpc grey please
Akaiii!! Almost what I dream of!!! I would add a built in audio interface, batteries and Bluetooth midi! The perfect portable mini music studio (when you combine it with a iPhone and a DAW app)
That is for the MPK mini plus II😉
Isn’t the Mpk mini play pretty much that
A FL Studio deep integration video would be great!!!!🤓
October20th, 2022 will forever be the day when Akai Pro reminded Arturia who they daddy is....
Sound like a Old School Bay area beat👍
Sold😤..thx!
Nice .
Hope the display can finally show daw stuff
There is a new mini controller king in town, Arturia and Novation can't compete with this now.
@akaiProVideo, there is a major scammer out there posing as you guys saying, you won a prize, can you shut them down?
Those are some fire beats though 😂
Any chance of a tutorial on how to control NI's Komplete Kontrol software with this ? I'd actually prefer this over the M32 for the pads, 37 keys and physical wheels.
If im using it with an mpc does the scales and chords function sync up with pad perform or is it separate? For instance if I have a scale set on my mpc in pad perform does the mpk follow that scale?
I'll buy one in a second if the "gray" or "black" model comes!
If they make one that has 49 keys and it could sync with my MPC ONE id buy it!
The original MPK Mini has a very fragil keybed. The white keys break off easily in a year and I have to use superglue to glue the keys back. I hope this new Gen 2 keybed is more solid. If Akai will come up with a MPK Mini Plus Play, I may replace my MPK Mini Play.
interesting tool!
Just wondering does the knobs do nrpn? - would love use it to control other hardware gear.
bought it, good product but where is the MPK mini plus program editor? where i can download it?
The question can you control a hardware synth and record the midi thru the mini plus to your DAW? (Like FL Studio)
I need one of these! Finally infinite scroll knobs.
Does the 'Push to enter' knob and 'Next/Prev step' buttons can be assigned to some CC? What I am looking for is a program change assignment, not using pad/8 knobs for this. Is it feasible with MPK mini plus?
Akai alway immited but still #1
IT'S TIME TO COMBINE THE MINI PLAY AND MINI PLUS!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN! 🥳
Does anyone know how to set up the transport control queue link knobs to work with MPC One? I feel like this should’ve been as one of stock menu options
So after I buy the oxygen pro this comes out?? Damn you Inmusic!!
Please do one where it integrates with MPC live
Will other color options be released like the 25 key?
Thanks for the video.
I have tried to link an external MIDI keyboard on the MIDI IN port but it seems not work.
Is there a special setup to do ?
Are there any plans on making the transport controls working on Logic Pro for iPad? Currently they won't work.
How well does it integrate with the current mpc line?
I just bought one for my new mpc live II. Would it be possible to assign the joystick to navigate through the mpc screen? Mainly thinking about the envelope touchscreen. Thx a lot guys!
Are you guys going to update the Mpk 249/261 series? It’s about that time no?
Akai... when STEMS feature on your software?? Like SERATO and KOALA??
This new controller keyboard its similar to the M-Audio Pro mini 32 keyboard controller both Akai & M-Audio is under the Inmusic Brand company.
would you recommend me this for my Akia MPC ONE
I was waiting to see if they were going to implement the scale lock on the live II, but to no avail; thought it was going to be on one of these updates......I'm saving up for the Force........ and I was about to get the key step, now I don't have to be a trader...lol.... I love Akai...... #DrumasterBlack I have a MPK Mini Play for sale.....
Where did the Bass and lead synth come from?
Can u interconnect this midi with the MPC 2??
Is this overkill if you only use softsynths etc? Does AKAI make any similar 37 key mini or mid-size keyboard with pads and knobs witout these arp-features etc? =)
Is there a way to edit the velocity curve of the keybed (on the device)?
All Akai needs to do is find a way to put the Arturia keys on this keyboard and you will have a master piece
Nice. But please Akai, add ratcheting. If it can do CV/gate, it should do ratchets too.
let's hope for it in firmware update
Im new to all of this but Im interested in learning and would like to make make beats. Dont know where to start as far as what to purchase. Should I get the MPK MINI with the MPC ONE or just one piece of equipment in the MPC Key 37? Thanks in advance for help and or advice.
Would love to see that Step Sequencer brought over to the MPC line
Same! Maybe we’ll get that in 3.0
SAME!!!!!!!!
The MPC already has a great step sequencer 🤷♂️
Do we get fabric XL vst if we buy this keyboard?
It would be so cool if they made a version that also had internal sounds like the Akai mini play.
No, Just get a Yamaha PSS A50.
I'm upgrading from the mini play to this
@@momosbreath9713 It's a good suggestion if working with a DAW but there is a big market for people who work DAWlessly. The big upgrade to the mini plus is its ability to control and loop/sequence hardware synthesizers and drum machines via 5 pin midi/CV. If it had its own sounds it would also be a standalone synth and drum machine to start looping musical ideas without a computer or any other gear.
Give it 2 weeks and all the youtubers will have them. Mpk mini play plus. In a thumbnail with their mouths wide open
Please make a grey one.
How do you set this up with FL studio so I can use the transport functions?
on previous version there was CC button. can anyone help me to understand how to get into cc mode on mini plus, where I can map pads to anything in daw?
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
I just got paid today!!!! Here! Take my money now !!!!!!!!!!!!
Please release and ALL BLACK version of this!
Please make colored versions!!
So you don't need a computer or laptop for live performances?
So this is more for live performances ???
How do premium keys compare to ordinary keys? ;)
One really important thing you forgot to mention is that when powering up via USB and a computer that the MIDI I/O ports are bound to the computer, meaning any MIDI message from the keyboard isn't sent to the MIDI out port unless routed via a DAW. If you want to use the keyboard as a standalone MIDI controller, you have to plug in via battery pack/wall power, then plug it back into the computer to regain the ability to MIDI map in your DAW. Why this is the default and there are no internal options to route the MIDI differently is beyond me.
I really hope they can fix this with firmware. I plan to play external hardware synth while having the daw port connected to my ipad. I'm sure I can figure out a work around but it's a PITA.
Wow, thanks for this comment, was just about to buy one. That really defeats the purpose of how I’d want to use it, otherwise it’d be a perfect upgrade from my MPK MkII. They really need to address this.
It is possible to route it via the DAW, it's not a big deal. You're already using a DAW, so it's not like a big deal.
@@aperturescience8449
200th. Now, take my money
My concerns are BPM sync with note repeat and arpeggiator. Also we shouldn’t ever have to configure anything in preferences to use this with MPC beats or MPC software. I hope the firmware updates have addressed this. Anywhere we can find notes on the firmware updates? I really want one to go with my Live 2 for portability.
Can you explain what this means? What issues does this cause?
Would it be possible to add longer samples to the pads and use the keyboard as a sample player for live performance?
MPK mini Plus is a MIDI controller and does not store any sounds internally.
please do a video on setting up the whole midi setup for the MPK mini 3. I've tried to use the videos from others on CZcams and it doesn't work - seems like a nightmare to setup with the midi software section in MPC 2
Hey
How do you control the volume of the pads or keys when you play live ?
Do you have to use your daw ?
Hi, the pads and keys are velocity sensitive. To play live, you would need to connect this to a sound module. I guess you could use your DAW but I’ve never seen anyone try it before (I would definitely make sure the computer was disconnected from the internet). Good luck!
I have a question relating to the Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus pads: What I would like to know; and I haven't been able to find an answer to this question anywhere, is how to adjust the velocity or sensitivity of the Akai MPK Professional Mini Plus pads?
I've watched numerous videos related using the Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus and in each video the moderator barely touches the pads and the corresponding sounds are clearly heard.
However, when I touch the pads on my Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus I don't hear anything until I firmly press the pad(s) and then I get a sound. I thought the intention was to replicate playing the drums generally speaking of course.
Shouldn't I be able to get the same results as everyone else and replicate playing the drums by lightly touching the pads and getting the corresponding sounds?
Please, point me in the direction of where I can locate the information on how to modify, program my Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus pads to achieve the same results.
Thanks for your help.
