Akai MPK MINI PLUS

The MPK Mini Plus member of the MPK Mini family, which literally revolutionised mobile music creation for producers and beatmakers, retains the qualities of its predecessors while bringing new tools to take production even further. Its advanced connectivity allows you to centralise all your favourite studio devices for full hardware integration, in a compact 3-octave format.

Full control in a compact package
Following in the footsteps of the MPK Mini, the MPK Mini Plus retains the compact form factor so beloved of mobile producers and beatmakers, while offering a host of additional controls to drive a wide selection of features.
The 8 velocity-sensitive RGB backlit MPC drum pads found on the MPK Mini Mk3 are the heart of this controller, not only for creating dynamic beats and programming drums, but also for assigning program changes or triggering additional CC parameters. These are combined with eight 360° rotary encoders, perfect for setting effects, filters, automation or panning.
For the first time ever on an MPK Mini, enjoy dedicated transport controls that offer full integration with your DAW, eliminating the need for time-consuming manipulations via your QWERTY keyboard or mouse and allowing you to focus on your creative workflow with dedicated Play, Stop, Record, Loop or Locator buttons.

Exceptional playability
As with all MPK Minis, the creative process starts with the keys. The MPK Mini Plus features a comfortable and dynamic 37-note Gen 2 keyboard for extensive melodic and harmonic creation. The full three octaves provide a more comfortable playing experience for two-handed chords, arpeggiation, soloing or creating sound worlds. The Gen 2 keyboard, technologically similar to the MPK Mini Mk3, features incredibly easy-to-play keys with a wider velocity range, high dynamics and note response.
To provide even more expressive possibilities, the MPK Mini Plus is equipped with dedicated pitch bend and modulation control wheels to bring all the keyboard's performance to life. Complemented by the iconic red joystick, this comprehensive control interface provides virtually limitless expressiveness.
Advanced connectivity for standalone operation
The MPK Mini Plus is capable of stand-alone operation to accompany you on your creative episodes or jam sessions. The all-new built-in polyphonic Step Sequencer is perfect for capturing new ideas on the fly, allowing the recording of notes and drum patterns simultaneously for serious stand-alone music-making sessions.

Connect the MPK Mini Plus to any USB Class Compliant device or any device with 5-point MIDI connections, and use the CV/Gate connectors to connect to your rack or modular synths. The MPK Mini Plus is versatile enough for the seasoned musician who wants a versatile master keyboard, as well as for professionals who want to get the most out of their studio devices.

Comes with a complete software package for Mac and PC
The STAN MPC Beats with the MPK Mini Plus, compatible with both Mac and PC, gives you the famous MPC workflow on your computer and thousands of sounds, drum samples, loops and virtual instruments to create your next hit. Bring to life the various MPC plugins available on MPC Beats, such as AIR Electric or AIR TubeSynth, or the Mellotron and Hype plugins on your standalone MPC -MPC One, MPC Live 2, MPC-X- with the MPK Mini Plus' USB Class Compliant connectivity!
Even at 3 octaves, the MPK Mini Plus is still compact enough to be easily carried in your backpack, alongside all your everyday music production accessories. Simply put, adding the MPK Mini Plus to any workflow means creativity and intuitive control for any modern music creation or beatmaking.
