AKAI Professional MPK Mini Plus

Why this product

Built for the progress you want.

The MPK Mini Plus is an impressive controller, especially at its price point. It combines the signature MPC-style drum pads and seamless DAW/computer integration of previous MPK models with features inspired by the Keystep, such as CV outputs for modular gear and a built-in sequencer—allowing it to function entirely without a computer if needed. The 37-key keyboard is surprisingly responsive and playable, and the addition of a sustain pedal input opens the door to expressive performance beyond basic synth lines and beats. Though slightly larger than the Mini Mk3, it remains highly portable with a space-efficient design. Whether you prefer hands-on sequencing or DAW-based productionor a mix of both the MPK Mini Plus offers a streamlined, user-friendly workflow. It serves equally well as a compact studio controller and a standalone musical sketchpad, versatile enough to replace multiple pieces of gear on your setup.
