Akai Professional MPK Mini Play MK3 - MIDI Keyboard Controller with Built-in Speaker and Sounds Plus Dynamic Keybed, MPC Pads, Software Suite and Native Instruments Sound Package

I so love it! Construction is a bit industrial. It does not really have an on/off switch, have to toggle the USB/battery switch and pull the USB cable out. MPC beats and other free stuff is quite nice, insanely intriguing and difficult to configure but full of promise. I'm a total novice but chucked it in my laptop bag and went off to Spain for a week where I tinkered with it quite a bit, love the portability. The included Melodics training is just their usual free stuff with a 5 minute a day limit so quite frustrating, feel Akai could have made a bit of a better deal with them.

I was very surprised it is exactly what I was looking for and performed brilliantly it has own speaker and the sound is very good easy to connect up through PC and the software that comes with the product is free

I love this. Running it through an amp bumps the sound to way beyond the built-in speaker (obviously). There is plenty to discover. I'm not an expert so check out the reviews on YouTube. Lots of fun and I haven't checked out the midi side yet. Great value too.Enjoy!

Really nice little keyboard - very useful as a midi interface - the "Play" functionaliy is interesting, but not very useful as you cant loop a drum beat or bass line. Good for practicing scales and great as a touch sensitive midi interface - solidly built.

Powerful little keyboard. I use it for backing track recordings and it's spot on for the job. Amazing realistic sounds.

This keyboard is absolutely perfect. My son has been using it alot and is overjoyed with this keyboard. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality midi keyboard.

I love it! Great to use as a midi keyboard and also the on-board sounds are good (a bit standard, but good) It's a shame I didn't get the one with a bigger keyboard because playing is limited to 2 octaves. I would recommend this to anyone interested in making music on the go. Another good feature is the USB power which saves a lot of messing about when connecting to a computer. Comes with a host of free software so you can be making hit records instantly!

I Love this, perfect for practicing my scales when chilling out. Great as stand alone with own sounds or as a midi keyboard. Perfect for a small lo-fi bedroom set up. You can make some great music with this and an iPad or laptop in a tiny space. Practice is a bugbear going to the piano but with this it’s easy to do 20 minutes a day and get better. Having its own sounds running on batteries (battery life is outstanding) is ideal.

Beautiful Easy to use and I made a remix of Final Countdown with. Anyone who follows the instructions can use properly.

I bought this akai Mpk Mini to use with my computer and ipad for songwriting. IUt does this very well. The keys have just enough weight to them to be playable and the drum pads are nice, however you have to hit them hard. The surprise with this one is that it takes batteries (not needed with computer use) because it has a full keyboard of sound onboard! This is a welcome treat because i can use it standalone for writing, and have even used it in a recording. The keyboard has several controls you dont see everywhere on a unit this small. Apeggiator, filters! and joystick pitchbend. very cool little keyboard.

All good, just hard to learn .

Funciona perfectamente bien, es de un tamaño práctico, funciona con carga y a baterías. Tiene buen sonido y bastantes funciones, lo recomiendo.

The midi-keyboard is awesome - 1000000 outta 10.
