DescriptionThe MPK mini play mk3 by Akai Professional is the ideal portable companion to capture melodies and harmonies anywhere that inspiration strikes. With battery-operated performance lasting over 14 hours, the MPK mini play eases the worry of power adapters, chargers or cables when it’s time to create. The upgraded built-in speaker delivers increased output and an added low-end response. With an improved listening experience, users can dive into the 128+ onboard instruments and drum kits, including acoustic and electric pianos, synth leads and pads and more. The 1/8" headphone output jack allows for quiet practicing or songwriting.

At the heart of the MPK mini play is the new Gen 2 keybed. This new keybed delivers dynamic performances and accurate velocity response with a feel that players will certainly appreciate.

With Class Compliant, plug-and-play capability, MPK mini Play doubles as a powerful MIDI controller and instantly connects to your favorite DAW for immediate music production duties. Four assignable rotary encoder knobs offer versatile control of MIDI parameters like pan or automation for super-precise editing. With its sturdy construction and build, MPK mini play is ready to travel securely alongside any favorite music production items in backpacks or bags.
