The Akai Pro MPK mini is an ultra-compact
mini-keyboard with an impressive array of buttons, knobs and pads to
provide hands-on performance and production control no matter your
location. MPK mini strikes the perfect balance between portability and
comprehensive software control by melding together the complete control
offered in the popular Akai Pro MPK family with the grab-and-go
convenience of the LPK25 and LPD8. With a 25-note keyboard, 8 backlit,
MPC-style pads and 8 Q-Link knobs, the MPK mini is the ultimate
portable controller to get your music moving.
The MPK mini
keyboard is ideal for quickly entering notes and phrases into your
computer. The velocity-sensitive keys allow you to accurately express
dynamics, while accessing different pitch ranges is done instantly
through dedicated Octave Up and Octave Down buttons. Create sparkling,
staccato leads and driving bass-lines in a variety of time
denominations and patterns with MPK mini's built-in arpeggiator. A
Tap-Tempo button gives you the ability to quickly adjust the
arpeggiator clock, which is essential if you're looking to stay in sync
with a band. A Sustain button holds notes after releasing your hand
from the keyboard allowing you the opportunity to easily pound pads and
twist knobs, with no pedal required.
MPK mini's 8 backlit,
velocity-sensitive pads are based on Akai Professional’s MPC line of
iconic music production stations. Great for firing one-shot samples and
sequencing drum patterns, you can use the pads to send note
information, MIDI CCs, or even program changes. Pressing the Bank
button will quickly toggle between 2 banks of pads giving you access to
16 pads in total. Additionally, the MPK mini has 8 assignable Q-Link
knobs to control virtually any parameter in your software.
MPK
mini works plug-and-play with Mac and PC and requires no software
driver installation or wall power for operation. It has four memory
banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to your
favorite software programs. The included software editor lets you
quickly map MPK mini's controls as well.
