A Total Reimagining of the Industry Standard

Are you looking for the ultimate evolution of the world's most popular MIDI controller? Tired of choosing between portability and professional-grade expression? The Akai Professional MPK Mini IV (or MK4) is the perfect choice! Meticulously created to redefine the mobile production experience, the IV takes everything that made its predecessors legendary and injects a massive dose of professional power, ensuring you experience a seamless creative flow from the moment you plug in.

The Right Amount of Power and Design

Designed for the modern creator, the MPK Mini IV features a significant design overhaul, most notably replacing the traditional 4-way joystick with true mechanical Pitch and Modulation wheels. This high-impact upgrade provides a level of tactile precision previously reserved for full-sized controllers. Its style-driven chassis now houses a full-color screen, giving you real-time visual feedback of your parameters and DAW settings. It is the ultimate solution for producers who need high-end features in a frame that still fits perfectly in a backpack.

Advanced Performance and "MPC" Soul

The MPK Mini IV offers the ultimate solution for dynamic beat-making. It features 8 velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit MPC pads, now with even more responsive sensors for expressive finger drumming and clip launching. Complementing the keys are 8 assignable 360-degree knobs for instant control of your plugins and mixer. With the addition of Scale and Chord modes, you can generate complex harmonies and stay perfectly in key without any musical theory roadblocks, making it a powerful "idea machine" for both beginners and pros.

Universal Connectivity and Premium Sounds

Features that keep you connected are standard with the IV. It has transitioned to USB-C connectivity for universal device compatibility and features a dedicated 5-pin MIDI output, allowing you to control hardware synths and drum machines directly. To ensure you can start making hits immediately, it comes bundled with the Studio Instrument Collection, featuring over 1,000 professional sounds from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog, alongside Ableton Live Lite. Whether you're in a high-end studio or a hotel room, the MPK Mini IV gives you total authority over your music.
