Get to know them!

The Akai Professional MPK Mini Play3 keyboard controller sets a new standard for portable music production controllers. Featuring a dynamic keybed with 25 synth-action mini keys, eight MPC pads (complete with Note Repeat), four assignable control knobs to control eight parameters, and a 4-way thumbstick for pitch/modulation, the MPK Mini Play3 offers comprehensive control. And with over 100 drum and instrument sounds built right in, you're ready to create music in a variety of styles. Complete with a built-in speaker and headphone output, the Akai Professional MPK Mini Play3 is more like a tiny synth workstation that doubles as a compact controller for your computer.

Play anywhere

Powered by four AA batteries, you can use the MPK Mini Play3 as a portable synth workstation. Its built-in sound module features a total of more than 100 drum and instrument sounds. Monitor your performance with the built-in speaker, or connect your headphones for a private session; create melodies while you ride the train to work. Compose a new piece out in nature somewhere. If you want more options for producing music anywhere you go, Sweetwater highly recommends the MPK Mini Play3.

Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
