MPK mini plus Hardware Overview | Akai Professional
Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus at a glance
The MPK Mini Plus from Akai st a combination of USB keyboard controller, CV/Gate interface and step sequencer. The keyboard with 37 mini keys is a newly developed Gen 2 Dynamic Keybed keyboard which, regardless of its size, is velocity sensitive and, above all, plays well. In its capacity as a USB keyboard controller, the MPK Mini Plus offers eight knobs and a joystick that can be assigned to any parameter in a DAW, making software handling easier in the most convenient way. The eight color-coded and velocity-sensitive pads offer a defined pressure point and are great for dynamically playing percussion and firing off samples; with Note Repeat and Full Level, even MPC pad features are integrated. Below the knob are the transport keys, which provide direct access to the main DAW functions such as record, rewind, stop and play. Playing aids include a simple chord function that remembers the last notes pressed simultaneously, and an arpeggiator with an expanded repertoire of playback patterns in the 1-4 octave range and shuffle. Thanks to the MIDI inputs and outputs, the master keyboard can communicate with external equipment and also acts as a USB/MIDI interface.
An insider tip for hardware live screwdrivers
When powered by a USB power supply, the MPK Mini Plus runs stand alone without the need for a computer. Here the device shows its strengths even for experienced users, because it is a MIDI master keyboard with which you can play rack expanders and desktop synthesizers and a converter from MIDI (and of course also from USB) to CV/Gate control voltages along with mod output and clock connections to trigger a Eurorack modular system or old analog synthesizers. The best for the end: a polyphonic step sequencer is hidden between Display and transport keys! If you need a separate sequencer for a synthesizer playable via MIDI respectively CV/Gate, you should take a look at the MPK Mini Plus.
