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.
Mike Harris
There are two items that are always in my laptop bag: My Apogee One and my AKAI MPK Mini Controller. No matter where I am, I'm able to lay down tracks with ease.

Best pads & Keyboard for the money!

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 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. Simple, feature packed and durable. Def recommend!

finally

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!

Almost Perfect...

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

Useful

Good for the money, but the mini-USB port is quite flimsy and easily breaks from the circuit board.
