For control freaks on the go
The MPK Mini MK3, Akai's most compact keyboard and pad controller, is an ideal stepping stone for beginners into realm of MIDI controllers at large and MPC beat making in particular. Compact, rugged, and roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper, it features 25 velocity-sensitive keys (i.e. two octaves) for playing virtual instruments, eight backlit MPC-style drum pads for triggering drum sounds and samples, eight freely assignable endless rotary knobs for controlling DAW or synth parameters, a full-fledged hardware arpeggiator and a four-way joystick for pitch and modulation control. The keyboard is class-compliant and features USB connectivity to a PC or Mac. The rear side features a 6.35mm jack input for connecting a standard sustain pedal – which is uncommon in this price range and size category. Measuring 32x18cm and weighing less than a kilogram, the MPK Mini MK3 will literally fit into any backpack.
