Are you looking for a controller that bridges the gap between compact portability and professional performance? Tired of the limitations of two-octave mini keyboards but still need something that fits on a crowded desk? The Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus is the perfect choice! Meticulously created to offer a "best-of-both-worlds" experience, this controller expands on the legendary MPK Mini formula by adding more keys, dedicated hardware wheels, and deep connectivity, ensuring you experience a seamless workflow whether you're controlling a DAW or a modular synth rig.

The Right Amount of Power and Design

Designed for the modern musician who needs more range, the MPK Mini Plus features an expanded 37-key Gen 2 Dynamic Keybed. This provides three full octaves of playability—perfect for two-handed chords and complex melodic lines—while maintaining a space-saving footprint. Its high-impact design includes dedicated Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, offering a tactile level of expression that joy-sticks alone can't match. With its style-driven layout and crisp OLED display, the MPK Mini Plus is the ultimate solution for producers who demand professional features in a portable frame.

Advanced Connectivity and Sequencing

The MPK Mini Plus offers the ultimate solution for "hybrid" studios. Unlike standard MIDI controllers, it features a built-in 2-track polyphonic Step/Live Sequencer that allows you to capture ideas on the fly without even touching your computer. On the back, you'll find a professional array of I/O, including 5-pin MIDI In/Out and CV/Gate/Mod/Clock outputs. This means you have total authority over your software instruments, vintage hardware synths, and Eurorack modular gear simultaneously, making it the perfect "brain" for any setup.

Iconic Performance Tools

Features that defined the MPC legacy are built right into the MPK Mini Plus. It features 8 velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit MPC pads for dynamic beat-making and sample triggering. With the addition of Chords and Scales modes, you can play complex harmonies and stay perfectly in key without any musical theory roadblocks. To ensure you can hit the ground running, it comes bundled with MPC Beats software and a massive library of high-quality plugin instruments from AIR Music Tech, giving you everything you need to start producing hits immediately.
