I just got it, and noticed that to actually hear the keys you need to press them hard and firm, otherwise it will be an empty note.
Will eventually update this as i use it.
I’m brand new to anything musical having recently retired and decided to go hard core in learning how to make music without instruments. This little keyboard is fantastic for my learning needs. I use it with ab iPad and GarageBand and I’m happy. The software available for us is nice too but beyond my knowledge at this point. I do know I hooked this to my iPad with a small cheap adapter and it works well. I used Bluetooth headphones so I don’t bother anyone with my lousy composing. It beats keyboarding on the screen. Even works with my iPhone and the same adapter. So very portable. It can be powered by your iPad or phone as well. Works well on my computer too but I prefer the portability of it. I think it’s a proven name that will last. So from my inexperienced position I’d still buy this again.
This Midi will leave you ITCHING to get back to the drawing board!
astiera midi piccola ma completa consigliata per tutti i composer.
Really sturdy and quality materials used, very easy to set up as it is plug and play, great value for what you get, the keys are nice and firm. Great for beginners and pros alike!
Das Produkt hat eine Top Qualitt alle Tasten und Pads lassen sich einfach bedienen, das Program ist fr Anfnger und Profis einfach gestaltet.
Viele verschschiedene Auswahlmglichkeit der einzelnen Pads und Keyboard Tasten.
Von mir 4 Sterne. Ein Negativ Punkt giebt es allerdings, bei dem Prudult fehlt mir der Kopfhrer Ausgang (oder fr Lautsprecher). Dafr braucht man einen Adapter. Siehe Bild (3).
La tastiera di facile utilizzo dopo aver installato le app necessarie ad usarla
Egal, ob beginner auf yt findet man schon viele tutorials wie man das ding programiert. Empfenlswe
La calidad del producto es muy buena, las teclas as como los pads tienen sensibilidad para una mejor Interpretacin de tus canciones, el software includo esta genial.
Bella e funzionale, leggera, compatta.. Non chiedevo di meglio a questo prezzo
Ho acquistato questa tastiera sintetizzatore per iniziare a creare musica. E’ un entry level semplice ma abbinato a un DAW ottimo come FL 20 fa la sua bella figura. Anche se il materiale economico fa quello che deve fare. Pu essere utilizzato per uno Studio di registrazione casalingo ma efficace. Con una spesa minima si possono fare cose divertenti. Venditore serio ed affidabile. Il prodotto corrisponde alla descrizione. Lo consiglio
Un piano midi muy bueno para llevar si necesitas producir en cualquier lado, plug and play para las funciones principales y para aquellos que quieran explorarlo a fondo incluye un software bastante completo
AKAI MPK MINI+ and the plus is magic
This is great for a beginner with software it comes with or if your looking to use it with AkaiPro Force, MPC products it works well there also!!
I like that the keyboard fits well in front of my desktop computer and is easy to plug and go.
I brought this for Christmas for my husband and he absolutely loves he spends hours making beats in his studio I highly recommend this
Me ha encantado este controlador con teclado, es increible, muy entretenido, hay que dedicarle tiempo, no es cosa facil hacer musica
Me atende super bem s necessidades, compacto, ocupa pouco espao, leve, tem uma boa construo. Os softwares so bacanas, os PADS so timos de tocar. As teclas so leves, tem sensibilidade mediana.
This is what we call professional..
In everything this one is best MIDI keyboard under 10k.
This product is amazing! It works very well. Very easy to use!
La cog para k mi hijo se inicien en la creacin de msica y efectos, a ver si se engancha.
Me ha parecido til y verstil, y la instalacin de los programas adjuntos no ha sido tan difcil como he ledo en otros comentarios, cierto es que podra ser ms sencilla, pero no nada del otro mundo.
Lo nico que hay que tener en cuenta es que el mismo cdigo te vale para tres cosas.
Por lo dems el teclado perfecto y configurable con varios programas d edicin y creacin.
Una apuesta segura para empezar, y para ser reacondicionado est en perfectsimo estado.
Vendeur et livraison au top.
Produit conforme la description.
En revanche compliqu utiliser en raison du logiciel que je trouve trs dificile prendre en main.
I tried to do some music work on Logic with my 88 keyboard, but the keyboard was just too big and far away from the computer.
Enters the Akai 37. This little keyboard is awesome. i got used to the “not-to-small” keys very fast. And also the mod and pitch wheels are easy to use.
I mapped a few keys for my Moog model D VST and preso, I have a fullyg functioning mood D under my finger tips. since the original moog was 37 keys, this is literally a perfect hardware version now.
I love working with the akai mini plus sits right in front of me, the keyboard just behind it, and then my 32″ monitor letting me enjoy a great logic work station.
Great for beginners, intermediate and pro. the 37 keys let me play nice big chords and not be “skimpy” on my range of tones.
My kids like guitar hero and other music games so I got them this to use with Melodics and they love it.
his midi keyboard has come a long way in the last10 or so years, all the updates people asked for are there, for me the additional octave was the key factor, and i know i more or less only scratch the surface of all the things you can do with this unit ! great musical produc
Perfect for nice littke or large studio set up. quality item . So many options and I like that you can choose the color of item andnit is also portabke and light weight to carry on the go
The keys feel a little off but its really fun to mess around with
I found the drum pads to be excellent and the keys are pretty damn good the features like the arpeggiate are are fun and the note repeat is handy however all of the knobs don’t do anything without being programmed on GarageBand or it would be a five star deal
Recensisco questa tastiera perch, pur avendola ordinata anche io dopo averla provata da un amico, mi arrivato tutt’altro marchio e modello… anche se le funzionalit sono le stesse. Per la breve esperienza posso dire che una ottima kb da viaggio, con tasti semipesati ed abbastanza compatta ma ben accessoriata
Sono un assoluto principiante e devo dire che ho avuto parecchie difficolt solo a riuscire a registrare qualcosa (ho dovuto settare manualmente la velocity dove aver trovato la soluzione al mio problema in uno forum sperduto). Una volta acquisita la giusta dimestichezza promette buona versalit a giudicare dai video tutorial presenti su internet. Buon rapporto qualit prezzo.
je ne suis qu’un amateur mais ce petit clavier MIDI est idal et livr avec un programme de MAO “MPC Beats”
je suis trs content de ce petit investissement qui marche trs bie
If you own an MPK Mini Mk3, this is an upgrade. The out of the box key velocity curve is improved and doesn’t require a YouTube video hack to adjust. Otherwise, it is a similar keyboard action and will feel the same. What you get that is all new is transport controls, more room to play, a sequencer, and chord / scale modes.
The down side is, there likely will be buttons and knobs to map even when you select mappings for individual DAWs. What is the point of these modes if they aren’t better mapped to DAWs they are supposed to support. Tried them in the MPC Software (2.11.6) and Ableton Live 11 and you’ll still have to map things yourself. Some manufacturers know how to do this and some don’t. Akai just can’t pull off seamless DAW integration in their keyboards. You’ll have to do the work.
Why the sudden lack of satisfaction when the device itself is still doing everything it is supposed to? ~ Because on Oct 21st, AKAI released the “AKAI MPK mini plus” with THREE octaves of keys (two handed chords!), real pitch bend wheels (industry standard), midi connector/control w/ step sequencer and all still well under $200.
The price of the MPK mini has now been adjusted to where if you are on an absolute tight budget, it is still going to be hard to beat BUT compare this mini and AKAI’s newest model to make sure you are getting the best value for your needs.
Pad feel nice, keys feel nice, the little lcd screen is nice.. you can mix the ARP mode with the scales and chord mode.. 37 keys are the sweet spot I can bring anywhere and still use as my main controller with the range of 3 octaves you can’t lose.
Scordatevi di attaccarla al pc e suonarci subito, e’ complicatissimo farla dialogare con la vostra daw. Molto astruso il sistema di “ancoraggio” alla daw, molto complicato settarla, suonarla a tempo e quindi divertirsi subito, il programma annesso, MPC Beats e’ un mattone da studiare bene con calma, molto piu’ complicato di altre daw. Il digitale e’ arrivato a livelli inimmaginabili per noi musicisti nati negli anni 60, ma continuo a preferire l’analogico, molto ma molto piu’ immediato che l’elettronica.
Alla fine pero’ avrete un sistema di pilotaggio dei plugin e dei suoni fantastico, evitando di usare i tasti del pc.
The MPK mini plus, with its additional octave and (FINALLY) dedicated mod and pitch wheels, is absolutely the new gold standard for bedroom producers who don’t have a lot of money or space. Yes the keys are mini sized, but they don’t feel cheap–the springs give them a nice tactile tension and you get used to the small size quickly.
The whole product in fact feels surprisingly premium despite the plastic body; the CC wheels and two-axis joystick have a splendid resistance to them and when you engage them, you get a silky smooth response and a nice readout of the value on the little LCD display.
The one feature I haven’t messed too much with is the new built-in sequencer (and I imagine most bedroom producers have that functionality taken care of by their DAW like me), but I’m sure it’s fab if you take the time to learn it.
Time will tell if the mini plus holds up to rigorous daily use like its surprisingly rugged baby brother. If it ever breaks I’ll update this review… for now though, I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase. This is a great value at MSRP.
Ahora luego de tenerlo por varios meses puedo decir que ha sido una buena compra, la calidad del producto me parece excelente por su precio. Me gusta su facilidad de uso, solo lo conecto y listo, no hay que batallar con controladores y cosas del estilo.
Para ser mi primer controlador MIDI estoy contento de haberlo comprado.
Everything is awesome. Can be used anywhere with ease.
One noticed drawback is that the Velocity control cant be turned off.
Estoy con l hace algunos meses y fue una de las mejores compras que ya hice.
Estoy muy satisfecho.
Soy msico y solo tenia instrumentos acsticos, me faltaba algo para samplear bateria, bajos, teclados, sintetizadores, cuarteto de cuerdas y todo tipo de instrumento virtual.
Otra cosa buena es que lo puedes llevar a todos los stios por ser tan pequeo.
I bought this AKAI Mini Keyboard for my son, who already is a musician of 6 years on the saxophone, but expressed interest in playing the piano/keyboard and trying to write music. He loves this and found it very easy to use! It’s lightweight and portable, so makes it easy to travel with, in its portable hard case. Very reasonably priced – this keyboard is more expensive at our local music stores, so I feel that I got a good value for this item. I would highly recommend this keyboard to beginners, intermediate players, and even advanced players, to have something to travel with and create tracks with.
J’apprends faire de la House et de la Phonk
Le procd est long et studieux, a ne se matrise pas du premier coup et vous ne crerez pas les meilleurs musiques en 1 mois
Mais quand on est passionn a n’a pas de prix de se plonger dedans pendant des heures.
Ne vous faites pas piger, c’est un processus d’apprentissage long prendre en compte au mme titre que n’importe quel instrument voir plus
J’utilise Cubase 12 et je suis sous W10 et je n’ai eu aucun problme installer ce clavier midi — Comme prcis dans certains commentaires, il faut d’abord enregister en ligne le produit sur le site qui vous permettra de tlcharger le logiciel d’installation. Dans les tapes d’installation, on vous demandera de connecter le clavier votre PC. Quand elle est termine, lancez votre Studio virtuel (Cubase pour moi) et si tout s’est bien droul, le clavier se reconnu immdiatement dans l’application.
C’est un bon outils. Je m’en sert assez rgulirement mme si je joue pas vraiment de piano. La vlocit enregistre est assez bizarre. Je pense que c’est du au manque de retour de force. Pour de la musique cre sur DAW a passe, il faudra juste rajuster manuellement une vlocit plus propre.
Le beat je m’en sert pas trop, mais a marche.
Ce qui est du “note repeat”/arpegiattor, c’est super. a marche trs bien.
Les intruments bonus sont pas trop mal non plus.
Maintenant, je le trouve quand mme un peu chre. vous de voi
