Size of keyboard is perfect to fit on a smaller table, build quality is ok for this pricepoint.
Keys are a bit small, the drum pads could be more sensitive so don’t expect the performance of a bigger keyboard.
De momento me encanta, el tacto de los pads un poco duro, pero todo es acostumbrarse, la ventaja, la cantidad de sonidos que tiene y poder tocar sin ordenador, el altavoz suena muy bien, pensaba que iba a ser peor.
La integracion con los daws es bastante buena, en mi opinion es un buen aparato.
Pour qui veut piloter vil prix du matriel MIDI (sous rserve qu’il soit rcent et avec USB ou que vous ayez un adaptateur USB/DIN), c’est un petit clavier tout faire ultra portable, avec une petite table d’ondes General MIDI trs classique mais qui rendra service.
Par contre, le toucher est immonde : les touches de la partie clavier sont extrmement dures, avec un retour trs sec, et les pads ont trs peu de rpondant, obligeant les malmener pour esprer une rponse.
Le haut-parleur intgr est tellement anecdotique qu’il aurait mieux valu s’en passer : son volume de sortie est si faible qu’il sera couvert par le moindre bruit ambiant. Faut voir le bon ct : vous ne risquerez pas de dranger qui que ce soit en jouant sans casque en pleine nuit.
Enfin c’est du pur plastique. Avantage : trs lger et tout petit, on peut l’emporter partout. Inconvnient : obligation de veiller ne pas le faire tomber de plus de 2 cm sous peine de casse.
Pour un prix peine suprieur, on trouve plusieurs claviers 25 et mme 32 touches avec de l’USB et de vraies prises au format DIN, sans sons intgrs ni pads ni “haut-parleur” mais d’une qualit incomparable en termes de toucher.
En conclusion, on peut tout faire mais pas tout bien faire, surtout ce prix-l.
I love the MPK Play MKIII it is a joy to have on my desk, loads of useful rehearsal sounds and fun to play with. The keys are very small but that is to be expected in a device of this size. I would definitely recommend it to someone thinking of buying a cheap and portable controller. All in all great value for money and perfect for my needs.
Really liked the quality of it and also that it came with loaded sounds and ready to use right out of the box
una tastiera midi concepita per fare registrazioni collegata ad un PC punto. Rispetto alle altre ha un piccolo altoparlante ma serve a poco. La rende pi versatile, ma non stata concepita per altri usi. Non sono un musicista di professione, ma un semplice appassionato di musica e per gli usi che ne far io va benissimo Quello che fa rabbia che nel software in dotazione ci siano due pacchetti di suoni che non possono essere installate sulle ultime versioni del MAC e la cosa non scritta da nessuna parte. Non solo non si possono installare, ma danni problemi agli altri programmi come, ad esempio, Garage Band, che non parte pi. Problema risolvibile in tempi ragionevoli per chi come me, lavora nel campo dell’informatica, ma per un utente comune sarebbe stato davvero problematico e frustrante venire a capo del problema Risolto questo il software in dotazione funziona bene sia su Mac che su PC. Ho visto che c’ chi si lamenta delle dimensioni dei tasti, della dinamica ecc… Considerandi l’uso che se ne deve fare a me sembra pi che sufficiente da questo punto di vista e ne sono totalmente soddusfatto. Avrei dato cinque stelle, ma che i pacchetti di suoni diano problemi e non lo scrivono da nessuna parte inconcepibile.
Es muy buen dispositivo midi, sobre todo la portabilidad y el hecho de que pueda ser usado con pilas y su banco de sonidos integrados. Funciona a la perfeccin en los diferentes DAW que he probado y los plug ins que te incluye son excelentes
This little thing is awesome. Banked sounds are good through headphones. Speakers are small but do the trick. Mega portable and tons of options. Not going to be your main keyboard, but is perfect for couch noodling and laptop beats.
Se mettre la musique trs facilement c’est l’objectif rempli de cet article, franchement une bonne occasio
Kann nichts sagen, hab den Artikel nicht fr mich bestellt. Aber mein Kumpel scheint zufrieden zu sein.
Es gibt (kaum) zumindest hab ich kein Midi Keyboard sonst gefunden, dass Midi keyboard und trotzdem standalone spielbar ist auer das. Auer vllt im 1000 Bereich+ aber selbst da meist nur mit integrierter Soundkarte und nicht mit integrierten Boxen. Abgesehen davon hammer Teil! wer bisschen bessere Soundqualitt beim Standalone spielen will sollte aber das mini play mk3 nehmen! Lohnt sich auch richtig!!!
I use this with my computer DAW. It was very easy to set up. I don’t use it independantly which is good because the speaker is very low, can hardly hear it. Maybe if one would hook up a portable speaker to it…
Very happy with this produc
I have had this for a year now, and I have to say, this is a such a great piano. Packs so much. Best thing about it is, it is so easy to just pick it up and play. No need to connect to anything. And if you get a portable speaker, you can play it out loud anywhere. Also acts as MIDI controller if you want to records. Nice drum sets too. You don’t really need to use to the other features, but they’re there. Great value for a hundred bucks.
I bought it used and there was nothing wrong with it. I found it to be very fun learning more everyday.
gran producto de AKAI que ofrece una versatilidad y tacto excelente, muy divertido y con los nops de configuracin se puede obtener algn sonido guapo, la verdad que estara bien poder meter tus prestes pero como controlador midi es un pasada.
Llevo varios meses con l y sigue funcionando correctamente, por el tamao que tiene es muy fcil de transportar en mi mochila.
Die Qualitt des Akai Profesionel MPK Mini Play Controllers und seine Vielzahl an Funktionen stehen auer Frage — die sind wirklich super. Im Vergleich zum MPK Mini 2 hat sich aber recht wenig auf der Controller-Seite verndert, wenn man von der reduzierten Poti-Anzahl einmal absieht. Nur der Sinn hinter den hinzugekommenen Keyboard-Funktion durch die eingebauten Sounds und Lautsprecher erschliet sich mir nicht ganz. Vielleicht will man so ganz einfach blutige Anfnger locken?! Wie dem auch sei, die Qualitt der Sounds ist im Vergleich zum heutigen Standard von Soft- und Hardware einfach nicht ausreichend. Auerdem ist der Lautsprecher leider viel zu leise. Ich persnlich nutze eine externe Aktivbox, um den vollen Sound zu hren. Wer dennoch fr jede Situation gewappnet sein mchte und nicht immer erst seinen Laptop fr ein paar Sounds starten mchte kann mit dem MPK Mini Play nichts falsch machen. Dennoch kostet er vergleichsweise recht viel, wenn man bedenkt, dass es den MPK Mini Mk2 bereits fr rund 50 Euro weniger auf der Strae zu haben gibt.
Ottimo per passare il tempo fuori casa con uno strumentino divertente e con pochissimo ingombro.
PRO: ha un sacco di suoni interni, non obbligatorio il computer come le altre tastiere midi, dotato di mini-altoparlante esterno che comunque non disturba gli altri, va a batterie che durano parecchio.
CONTRO: non si pu mantenere una ritmica in loop e suinarci sopra (ci vuole il pc per quello) e non possibile disabilitare la sensibilit al tocco, quindi si deve stare attenti a non rompere i tasti perch si deve premerli con una certa forza per sentire i suoni.
The unit is excellent and well built for a beginner like myself but I find it outstanding the number of free software goodies they handed me. For the price, I have to say this far exceeded what I thought I was going to get. Many thanks.
Fue un regalo para mi hijo.
La verdad que al principio le encanto el producto. En general esta bastante bien para principiantes y puede dar mucho juego.
El inconveniente que le veo (tal vez por desconocimiento de su uso) es la aplicacion para poder realizar mezclas de sonidos y loops.
Instalamos el software en el ordenador y nos fue muy complejo el poder manejarlo pero, repito una vez mas, puede ser debido a nuestra inexperiencia en este tipo de dispositivos.
Se sigue usando porque es muy divertido el hacer musica con los distintos tipos de sonido.
En general todo bien.
The fact that it already has sounds loaded in it makes it a good output keyboard besides a Midi playe
Necesitaba un controlador midi pequeo y portable pero de buena calidad y en un principio pens por el modelo que solo lleva controlador midi (por usb) pero por 10 mas tengo unos cuantos sonidos instalados y unos cuantos bancos de bateras con salida de auriculares y un pequeo altavoz.
Es un teclado con la calidad de Akai. Los pads para bateras sensibles a la presin son los mismos que te encuentras en los mpcs de toda la vida. La librera de sonidos est bien para prcticar, sacar melodas sobre la marcha o grabar algunos loops para tus canciones. Las teclas aunque de tamao mini responden bien, los potencimetros son pequeos pero precisos. Tienes control de octavas, arpegiador, swing y los tpicos para controlar tus vst y daws. Tienes efectos de reverb y chorus para los sonidos al igual que control de filtro y resonancia. No son gran cosa pero para modificar un poco los sonidos que lleva te sobra y si no siempre puedes conectarlo a un efecto externo. Funciona con tres pilas no incluidas o por usb. Lleva un joystick para la modulacin y el pitch bend. Toda la informacin la puedes ver a travs de su pequea pantalla monocromo muy til x cierto y no pesa nada.
En resumen; como controlador cumple de sobra y como teclado stand alone es suficiente para sacar unas melodas y unos loops. Por lo que vale es una muy buena compra
I bought this for my son for Christmas and he has used it pretty much every day since. It was easy for him to set up and use even though it was his first time ever having one. Great for beginners
J’ai achet ce mini clavier pour composer n’importe o car il marche aussi a piles. J’en suis trs contente.
I was very impressed to find this affordable used AKAI MINI PLAY to be in such almost brand new condition.
what a savings. This allowed me to lend mine to a BAND MATE who is caring for her elderly mother.
and let her keep it ! now we BOTH HAVE ONE ! 100 BUCKS FOR SUCH A POWERFUL INSTRUMENT IT WAS A REAL BARGAIN. <3 VIolette
