Akai MPK mini plus MIDI controller

Introducing the Akai MPK mini plus MIDI controller

The MPK Mini plus empowers musicians and live performers with full creative control delivering ultimate feel and expression. Along with next generation performance tools, advanced connectivity easily and fully unites all your favourite studio devices for complete and expanded hardware integration in a compact 3-octave design.

The MPK Mini plus features 37 keys with the Gen 2 dynamic keybed for expanded melodic and harmonic creation. 3 full octaves for two-handed chords, arpeggiation, solos and soundscapes on incredibly playable keys with a wider velocity range, delivering a world-class of note dynamics and response.

For those creative moments or DAW-less jams sessions, the onboard polyphonic 2-track step/live Sequencer captures new melodic and drum patterns on the fly. 8 notes of polyphony per step, 16 notes per Drum Step and an onboard Arpeggiator offer endless creative possibilities.

Real MPC drum pads

8 velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit MPC drum pads are the backbone for not only playing dynamic beats and programming drums, but for also assigning programme changes and triggering additional CC parameters.

Assignable 360 rotary knobs

Dial in effects with the 8 assignable 360-rotary knobs for every function including filters, automation, pan controls, and more. Add depth and dimension to your tracks by writing precise automation.

Chords and scaled modes

MPK Mini Plus features two modes to help simplify and accurately enhance your performances. Chords mode plays multiple notes and inversions with a single key, and Scales Mode enables the keybed to play notes only in the selected scale. For both modes, many creative options are available with 15 scale setting.

Transport controls

The MPK Mini Plus has dedicated transport controls for total integration into your DAW. Transport controls help you to stay engaged in the creative workflow with dedicated play, stop, record, loop and locator buttons.

Real pitch and modulation wheels

With more keys, the music will need new ways to add feel and expression, so the MPK Mini Plus adds dedicated pitch bend and modulation wheel controllers to help all keyboard performances truly come alive.

Assignable joystick controller

For even more expression, assign parameters to the Joysticks X/Y axis and morph between effects to create unique and interesting textures in your productions. Assign up to 4 parameters to the Joystick right from the keyboard itself.

USB, 5-pin MIDI, CV/Gate connectors

Connect to any Class-Compliant USB or 5-pin MIDI device and use the CV/Gate connectors and Sync I/O to trigger and control your Euro-rack and other modular synths.
