AKAI MPK Mini Plus II: Three Octaves to Shape Your Ideas

The AKAI MPK Mini Plus II is a compact 37-key mini-keyboard MIDI controller designed for musicians and producers who combine software instruments, external gear, and MPC systems. Its enhanced keyboard covers three octaves, allowing you to work on melodies, basslines, and chords in a compact format for your production space.

From the initial idea to performing a pattern, you can switch between the keyboard and the eight RGB MPC pads, adjust parameters with the eight assignable knobs, and add expression with the pitch and modulation wheels. The color display makes it easy to check information while you work.
