Akai MPK Mini Play

Descrizione

The ultra-portable Akai MPK Mini Play is based on the world’s most popular midi controller (Akai MPK Mini mk2) but now it comes packed with 128 sounds and its own built-in speaker.

With 8x backlit MPC drum pads and a 4-way joystick for simple control, players have all they need to play their music anytime, anywhere.

Four knobs (two banks capable of controlling eight different parameters) can be used to tweak sounds and edit multiple parameters in real-time, giving musicians even more performance possibilities.

Powered by 3 “AA” batteries, the Akai MPK Mini Play is built for hours of wireless fun.

Amazing Connections
Not just a mini keyboard, the Akai MPK Mini Play can also connect to a computer via USB port for the same plug-and-play MIDI functionality as the classic MPK Mini controllers. If not disturbing others is a priority, players can use the mini-audio output jack to connect headphones to the Akai MPK Mini Play. When you want a bigger sound, simply connect to external speakers using the same output jack. All-in-one, easy-to-use fun with “pro” features—that’s the Akai MPK Mini Play!

“We are extremely excited to introduce the Akai MPK Mini Play,” said Dan Gill, Product Manager for Akai Professional. “The Akai MPK Mini mk2 was a huge hit with musicians and now having all those sounds on-board with a built-in speaker, along with its go-anywhere portability, Akai MPK Mini Play opens up new musical possibilities that people are going to love.”
