COMPLETE MIDI CONTROL WITH 37 KEYS
The Akai MPK Mini Plus demonstrates that big things can come in small packages. This 37-key MIDI controller is small enough to fit in any backpack or gig bag, making it ideal for studio producers or live musicians on the go.
With pitch and modulation wheels, eight drum pads and rotating parameter knobs, a set of DAW transport controls, and more, you’ll be able to control every aspect of your sound, no matter where you play. With USB and MIDI connectivity, connecting your hardware or DAW is as simple as plugging it in.
GET HANDS ON WITH YOUR SOUNDS
Fans of Akai’s MPK Mini series have been waiting for a controller with a larger keybed for improved workspace for a long time. Thankfully, the Mini Plus responds. 37 keys, spanning three and a half octaves, allow for seamless lead or chord creation. Is that still insufficient? You’ll be able to control the entire note spectrum with ease thanks to built-in octave shift switches.
Above the black and white keys is a redesigned MIDI command center with eight drum pads, a transport control, pitch and mod wheels, eight rotating parameter knobs, and, of course, the iconic 4-way joystick control for fun effects experimentation. Control is essential when it comes to live recording and playback.
SMART MIDI CONTROLS AND EXTRA MELODIC MOVEMENTS
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.
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.
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 along with 15 scale settings.
CONNECT AND SYNC
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. The MPK Mini Plus is versatile enough for any musician wanting to get the most out of their favorite DAW, VST instruments and analog gear.
MPK Mini Plus can be mapped to your favorite DAW such as FL, Logic, and Ableton—giving you all the portable creative control you need. Take advantage of controlling your Transport, macros, mixing environments and even writing automation for your favorite plugin effects and instruments.
