Compact keyboard
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.
Se puede tocar sin ordenado
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.
Il sait (presque) tout faire mais...
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.

Fa bene quello per cui è stata concepita
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.
Excelente midi
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.

Tout bonnement merveilleux
Se mettre la musique trs facilement c’est l’objectif rempli de cet article, franchement une bonne occasio
What a gem of a controller keyboard
This little device gives you load of different sounds you can manipulate to your hearts content. You can latch the arp so you get a recycling riff then manipulate the sounds and it’s as good as it gets. It’s little speaker is great. The knobs are superb. What’s not to love?
Alles gut!
Kann nichts sagen, hab den Artikel nicht fr mich bestellt. Aber mein Kumpel scheint zufrieden zu sein.
Einfach das einzige das ES beherrsch
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!!!
Built in speaker is very low even when turned all the way up
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
Good Produc
Good to play around with and has small speaker so you can hear it without connecting to a computer. Spoiled a bit by poor keyboard, which is stiff and unresponsive.
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.

A basic knowledge of piano playing will help..
Not got past the mucking about with it stage yet,If only I could play piano it would probably be so much easier and enjoyable.The instructions assume previous knowledge which I just haven’t got.I play guitar/ukulele for two reasons, they’re easy and TAB is available to make it easy.should have learned piano at 5 maybe…
I bought it used and there was nothing wrong with it. I found it to be very fun learning more everyday.

una pasada
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.
Muy bueno
Llevo varios meses con l y sigue funcionando correctamente, por el tamao que tiene es muy fcil de transportar en mi mochila.
Weit mehr als nur ein Spielzeug
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.
Divertente
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.

No esta mal
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.
Controlador y stand alone en uno a un buen precio
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
The fact that it already has sounds loaded in it makes it a good output keyboard besides a Midi playe

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

Il marche avec piles et il y a une sortie de casque.
J’ai achet ce mini clavier pour composer n’importe o car il marche aussi a piles. J’en suis trs contente.
great used item !
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
Bon produit, mais prenez garde à ne pas vous tromper sur ses fonctionnalités...
Mon fils souhaitait tout prix obtenir cet appareil, aprs avoir vu des tutos sur internet. Je lui ai donc command pour son anniversaire.
J’aurais d malheureusement creuser le sujet avant de passer commande.
Pour les non-initis, il est important de savoir que ce clavier n’est pas prvu pour fonctionner seul.
Son utilisation ncessite le raccordement un PC et l’installation d’un logiciel de mixage ddi (trs gourmands en ressources), dans le but d’affecter des sonorits aux diffrentes touches.
Autant dire me mon pc portable de l’poque (processeur I3 intel) n’arrivait pas suivre…
Malgr de nombreuses recherches sur internet, je n’ai pu rsoudre un problme. En effet, les octaves ne respectent pas l’ordre des touches. Donc impossible de jouer une mlodie comme sur un synth.
J’ai donc trouv que l’apprentissage et l’utilisation de ce genre de matriel sont assez fastidieux. J’ai persist quelques semaines, mais mon fils s’en est dsintress au bout de quelques jours.
Un conseil, achetez uniquement si vous possdez un pc assez costaud (une carte son me parait indispensable).
En ce qui concerne le passage de la commande et la livraison, tout c’est bien droul.
A l’installation, le produit ncessite une connexion sur le site AKAI, pour enregistrement et tlchargement du logiciel de base. L aussi, rien redire. Tout la procdure est claire et simple mettre en uvre.
En rsum, c’est un trs bon produit (avis bas sur les tutos vido), mais convient des utilisateurs initis et dtenteur d’un bon PC.
Volume TRÈS faible !
Achet pour piloter un MPC Live en mobilit, je me suis dit que ses sons intgrs et ses Hp taient un plus … erreur ! Inutilisable sans casque car le volume sur Hp est plus que faible et les sons plus que moyens …
En rsum, cela reste un bon clavier de commande mais le “Play” n’est que mauvais gadget par rapport un Mini MK2 et ne justifie pas les 25 de plus.
I really appreciate the idea of MIDI keyboard that can be used as a standalone instrument for playing music so for example I can give it to my kids or play myself without connecting it to anything. In practice it does not work like this: the volume is too low (terrible kids pianos that cost €15 are louder than this; although it is better with headphones) and the quality of the on-board sames is too bad (really bad - think of a noname soundcard from 1995) to enjoy playing it standalone. For any useful play you have to connect it to a computer or other device so you end up with MPK mini but with less pads.

Nice little device
Wonderful little device full of lots of possibilities. The built in speaker is a bit weedy, but its great with headphones. Hoping my toddler grows to appreciate it more as he grows up. He loves it already.
Non confondre la qualità efficace con le possibilità aggiuntive
La tastiera una ottima tastiera, sicuramente al livello delle precedenti. E’ ovvio che il fatto che abbia dei suoni integrati la rende pi comoda di quelle che non li hanno, ma anche ovvio che la variet e la qualit dei suoni integrati non pu essere paragonata alla incredibile variet di effetti che si possono estrarre dai programmi per PC. Ho letto molte recenzioni nelle quali effetti ed audio integrato sono descritti come inefficaci e penanzzanti, mi permetto di criticare questo punto di vista. La tastiera costruita per essere interfacciata al PC come tutte le altre, con la differenza che, in pi, se sei sul tram o sul treno, puoi ripassare un pezzo, imparare un nuovo passaggio.Non servono per suonare in pubblico. Il suono che esce dall’altoparantino simile a quello di un giocattolo.Ma se viene collegata ad un amplificatore, ad un mixer o meglio ad un PC ovvio che siamo sui livelli digitali T utto ci con una piccola differenza di prezzo. Dal mio punto di vista ne vale la pena. I tasti pur se piccoli consentono una buona sensibilit al tatto e suoni progressivi e sensibili al tocco. Quello che per pi interessante l’incredibile range di suoni ed effetti forniti con il software e la possibilit di registrare, elaborare, sovraincidere, loppare e creare grazie alla mole di effetti forniti ed alle possibilt di espansione. Dato il prezzo abbordabile, personalmente la consiglio anche a che vuole dare un occhiata a questo modo di creare musica, a mio avviso non pi rinuciabile. Anche solo per rivedere e rielaborare vecchi brani gi suonati o registati. La tastiera un grande aiuto per il controllo e l’inserimento degli effetti ed anche un divertimento per suonare in live con il tuo gruppo.
Bonne petite machine portable
Tout tait cool mais je trouvais que les speakers intgr ne sonnaient pas asser fort et bien pour se prix la donc j’ai retourn.
Buona l'alimentazione a batterie e l'altoparlante integrato
Molto comodo il sistema che la fa funzionare anche a batterie ed il suo altoparlante esterno ma per usare tutte le potenzialit bisogna necessariamente utilizzarla collegato al computer. In definitiva sono soddisfatto di questo prodotto e lo consiglierei
