Akai Mini Play Mk3

Bought this to mix audio sources (CD etc.) with my Akai MPK mini play keyboard audio out. Works great. I enjoy playing along with music. Very quiet and no distortion. Covered the bright power LED with tape.

I can not believe that the M Audio Oxygen Pro Mini was available at B&H! This midi keyboard controller is a Jack of all Trades! PC compatible-check! Ableton compatible-check! Track Sliders- check! Akai pads-check! Akai keybed-check! Should i continue? 32 mini keys- check! Etc...

this came like the next day nicely packed and looked fresh out of the manufacturer omg bless if you need an akai mini dont even hesitate

+ I bought this Akai MPK Mini MKII MIDI controller because I tend to have a creative itch that I have to scratch sometimes and lugging my Akai MPK25 can be tedious if you know the size and weight compared to this MPK Mini MKII, which is about 3 times the depth, twice the height, and a little wider too, but the weight is like quardruple at least. I work with FL Studio for producing music and this helps me mess around and build some songs. + What I love about it is not only its compactness, They give you enough controls to work with. You can't go all out, but you can get plenty done with this model when on the go. It fits in my Think Tank Urban Disguise 60 V2.0 bag, along with my 15' Sony VAIO laptop, Wacom Intuos Pro SE Medium tablet, and a Cooler Master cooling pad. Adds almost an unnoticeable weight. The pads are definitely more responsive than the MPK25 actually. + What I don't like about it is that the dials have a min and max. I honestly like the infinite dials. I tweaked my Lightroom to accept and map MIDI controller for use in Lightroom (ex: having an dial to control your basic adjustments). I can't really use this for that purpose, but the MPK 25 works very nicely for that reason. I'm excited that B&H is about to sell Loupedeck this upcoming August 2017! + Overall? This is a nice treat to have for anyone who messes with music producing. When I found out such a thing existed (I'm kinda late), I had to order one immediately!

Not too big and holds what I need! I use the small outside pouch for my AKAI MPK mini MIDI controller and the main bag holds my laptop, mics, cables, small speakers and there is room for more! Excellent construction. Zippers are quality too. I use this bag to . hold my portable recording rig and gear. Bag is fully padded and all around great product!

I use this to connect my Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 (which has a Type-A TRS 1/8 MIDI Out connection on the back) to the 5-pin MIDI In connection on the back of my recently-purchased Novation Circuit Tracks. Works like a charm!

The MPK mini MK3 has fulfilled all my needs, expectations and then some. FL Studio 20 recognized it immediately. The piano keys really feel realistic and the infinity knobs really did away with the limitations of its predecessor! Easy to program and with a myriad of available settings and controls, this compact MIDI controller sets itself as a must have. Setup took some time between downloads and activation of the different bundled sounds and software and it is done via iLok, so be patient as the result will be a very powerful addition to your music creation process!

Love the sub mini. It really compliments my play ones.

Awesome sounds from Akai to add to my library!

This is amazing, and is much lighter from MK3 grip.
