From Our Research Team:

Get Portability and Control from this Grab-and-go Keyboard!

Making music on the go can be a real juggling act. On one hand, you want to travel light, which means leaving some important gear behind. On the other hand, there are some basic functions you don't want to leave behind, such as drum pads, encoders, and (of course) a nice set of keys. The ultra-compact Akai Pro MPK mini lets you travel light without sacrificing either portability or or control. The idea behind the MPK mini is simple: Akai combined the best of their super-popular LPK25 keyboard and their LPD8 drum controller.

The result is a 25-key keyboard with eight backlit drum pads and eight super-versatile Q-Link knobs. This gives you the controls you need to tweak patches, mix tracks, play soft-synths, and more. The MPK mini also offers great performance controls. You can lock notes with the onboard sustain button. The MPK mini even has an excellent arpeggiator with tap tempo control built right in - perfect for rocking out with the band!

Akai Professional MPK mini Compact USB Controller Keyboard Features at a Glance:
  • 25 velocity-sensitive keys
  • 8 backlit, velocity-sensitive MPC-style drum pads (2 banks, 16 total)
  • 8 programmable Q-Link knobs
  • Custom LCD display for easy setup
  • Built-in arpeggiator with adjustable resolution, range and patterns
  • Tap-Tempo button to quickly adjust pace of the arpeggiator
  • Dedicated Octave Up, Octave Down and Sustain buttons
  • Program Recall button to restore up to 4 separate global settings
  • Dimensions: 12" x 7" x 1.7"
  • USB bus powered

Make the Akai Professional MPK mini your on-the-go controller keyboard!

I originally bought a Korg Nano-Key to use with my DAW's, needless to say it was terrible. The keys on it were falling off all over the place. Then I saw this at a local music store. It had drum pads ... read more [+]and the keyboard for just 100 bucks? I was already sold. Been using it for months now and it is awesome, Have not had a single problem.

It is small, compact; sturdy. usb class compliant( no drivers needed). I want 3 more just so I can have one everywhere. It is genre busting, no matter what anyone says beyond this!

Very portable. Mapping works perfectly all the time.
All this thing needs is a Pitch wheel and it would have been perfect.

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
Okay, now this is just crazy! An MPK for $99! There is not one person on this planet producing music with a laptop or desktop who should not buy the AKAI MPK Mini Controller! Pads, knobs, keys, USB... cough up the cash and just do it!! You will not regret it.
