Introducing the Akai MPK Mini IV MIDI keyboard controller - 25 keys

Available in two distinct colorways (black or white, both with snappy red piping), this compact creative tool is packed with intuitive controls, deep sound design functionality, and access to a library of 1,000 professionally designed presets. The MPK Mini IV features real Pitch and Mod wheels for precision playing, RGB backlit MPC pads, a vibrant full-color screen, and an industry-leading keybed. With USB-C connectivity and a full-size MIDI output, this controller will be a flexible studio companion for the next generation of creatives.

Expressive performance

The latest Akai MPK Mini raises the bar for compact MIDI keyboards, offering an updated, industry-best keybed that delivers an expressive and natural playing experience. Whether you’re laying down chords, melodies, or basslines, the refined feel ensures that your performance translates seamlessly into your music.

Hands-on control

Designed with the performer in mind, the MPK Mini includes real Pitch and Modulation wheels alongside eight assignable rotary knobs, giving you precise control over every detail of your sound. The velocity-sensitive, RGB backlit MPC pads make beat-making and sample triggering dynamic and intuitive, while an expanded transport section mapped directly to DAW controls allows you to stay focused on your music without constantly reaching for your mouse or keyboard. A full-colour display provides real-time visual feedback, making it easy to navigate settings, parameters, and sounds whilst staying in the creative flow.

Creative tools

Creativity is at the heart of the MPK Mini. A powerful arpeggiator with Pattern, Arp Freeze, and Mutate functions encourages experimentation and unexpected results, while Scale and Chord Modes keep you in key and make it easy to add harmonies or build progressions. Whether you’re a beginner learning theory or a professional sketching out ideas quickly, the MPK Mini gives you tools to spark inspiration.

Seamless connectivity

Integration into any setup is effortless thanks to USB-C connectivity, which also powers the unit, and a full-size MIDI output for smooth connection with external hardware. Pre-programmed DAW scripts for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Bitwig, and Cubase provide one-to-one mapping for instant control of key parameters, while the bundled Studio Instrument Collection delivers 1,000 inspiring sounds from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog virtual instruments, giving you a professional sound palette straight out of the box.

Compact and versatile

Lightweight, portable, and available in black or grey, the Akai MPK Mini is built to fit seamlessly into any workflow. Whether at home, in the studio, or on stage, it provides musicians, beatmakers, producers, singer-songwriters, live performers, and creators with everything they need to make music at the highest level.
