Keys, pads, and knobs for expressive performances
New for the third-generation MPK Mini is Akaiâs Gen 2 dynamic mini keybed, which has been completely redesigned for enhanced playability, These keys feel great for laying down everything from virtual pianos, EPs, and synths to orchestral instruments. And ported straight from Akaiâs MPC series, the eight bankable, velocity-sensitive pads provide the ideal touch for precision finger drumming and melodic sample playback. With the MPK Miniâs endless knobs, you have the immediacy of hands-on control over any assignable parameter in your music software. Precisely tweak EQ, sweep a filter open on the fly, dial up that reverb tail coming out of the solo. The MPK Mini IIIâs intuitive, expressive controls are under your command.
Includes the Complete Music Production Starter Kit
The difference between a cool MIDI controller and a full hybrid keyboard workstation is the Complete Music Production Starter Kit, a powerful virtual instrument and FX suite thatâs free with the MPK Mini III. You get over 1500 downloadable sounds and a powerful software package that includes MPC Beats and six amazing virtual Instruments (Bassline, Tubesynth, Electric, Hybrid 3, Mini Grand, and Velvet) plus 2GB of sound content that will jump-start your hit-making creativity right out of the box.
