Love it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2019

First of all, the disclaimer. I'm not a musician. I've never played a keyboard before in my life, nor have I ever produced music on a computer. I own a ukulele, which I play really badly, and that's about it.

What did I want? I fancied having a mess with a keyboard, but I wanted something small, ideally small enough to stick in my suitcase when I go travelling away with work, so not something bulky or heavy, and ideally that could run off batteries. I also wanted something that could make sounds on its own, had a speaker so I could hear what I was doing, and could also have headphones connected so I wouldn't upset my wife too much. I liked the idea of something that I could connect to my PC or laptop so I could do some fancier stuff if the mood took me. Above all else, because this would most likely be a bit of a fad for me, I didn't want to spend an absolute fortune.

It's safe to say that for me, the Akai MPK Mini Play ticks all of the boxes. The first thing you notice is that it is tiny! Powered by 3 AA batteries or by USB (more on that later) it's a dinky little thing, with 25 keys, eight drum pads, six knobs you can twiddle to mess with the sound, and 128 different keyboard sounds and ten drum kits to play with. As soon as I put the batteries in, the first thing I did was to press a key to hear what it sounded like, then turn the knob at the top to change instruments and press the same key again to hear how it now sounded, which of course I repeated 128 times much to the frustration of my wife (thank heaven for headphones!) The keyboard has a tiny built-in speaker but even on full volume, it's quiet - don't expect it to fill a room, but it's fine for sitting by yourself, tinkering away. Of course, if you connect the keyboard to a speaker with its own volume control you could make things rather louder.

On the left of the keyboard you'll find various other controls. The red joystick allows you to bend the pitch of a note, and below this the arpeggiator will play a note multiple times when pressed - you can configure the repeat interval by selecting a setting using the keys (explained in the rather skimpy manual.) There are buttons to move up or down through the octaves too. As a full sized keyboard has more than 25 keys on it, the MPK Mini Play starts out as being somewhere in the middle of a full keyboard's range, so if you press the "octave down" button you'll effectively shift to the left a bit, and "octave up" shifts you to the right. The drum pads are pressure sensitive, so the harder you tap them the louder the drum sounds, but if you press the "full level" button they sound at maximum volume no matter how hard you hit them. All in all, just with this basic functionality, it's loads of fun, and for an absolute beginner like me it's a joyous little thing to play with.

Inside the box, there's a USB cable. On the back of the keyboard you'll find a headphone socket (standard 3.5mm connector, as used on mobile phones etc.), a port for connecting a sustain / loop pedal, a USB port, and a switch labelled "USB / BATT". If the switch is in the "BATT" position, the keyboard is essentially "on" and running off battery power, so it will produce sounds using its own internal workings. If however you flick the switch to "USB" it is basically "off" and won't do anything until you connect the USB lead and plug it into a computer. Please note, the keyboard can't run off something like a USB phone charger. As soon as you plug the keyboard into a computer is is effectively "dumb", and acts as a controller for music production software. Of course, if you don't have any such software, you won't be able to use it with your computer. Thankfully, Akai have included a card inside the box with a link to register your keyboard, and then you can download some free software. The software you can get includes ProTools|First, SONiVOX Wobble, Air Hybrid, Reason Lite, and Akai's own MPC Essentials. Personally I found that MPC Essentials doesn't seem to work with the MPK Mini Play, and some of the other packages needed a PC which was at least an i5 processor to work (eg ProTools|First) so my computer wouldn't work with it, and others were for eg dubstep music production, which isn't my cup of tea, but I quite like messing with Reason Lite. Mac options are available for all of the downloadable packages, and you can also use it with Garageband apparently.

All in all, I absolutely love my MPK Mini Play. It may not be the greatest keyboard in the world, and other MIDI controllers may be better, but this one does everything I wanted it to do and more. I'm certainly happy!

Beware: Useless with macOS Catalina and Big Sur

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 October 2020

Verified Purchase

The MPK Editor software, which is required if you want to set up pad/knob mappings for GarageBand, is a 32-bit application and is therefore incompatible with recent macOS versions. It will NOT run on macOS Catalina, and will NOT work on the upcoming macOS Big Sur - and therefore will also not be compatible with the new Silicon Mac range (which cannot be downgraded) in case you were planning to get a new computer any time soon.

I have contacted Akai support and they could not say when or if the program would be updated. Given that Apple has been recommending applications have 64-bit versions since 2015 and has required it since early 2018 (and this product was only released in late 2018) I don't have much hope for that being fixed.

Awesome little keyboard

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2018

Verified Purchase

Great value entry level midi controller for your studio with the added bonus of a few built in sounds and speaker, speaker sounds a bit tinny but running it on battery means you can use this anywhere, keys are a little firm as are the push buttons, works well with Cubase 9.5, lots of bundled software too check out the card inside thats loose with the manual for download link, will work with any DAW, windows 10 compatible with no drivers required.

It would have got a 5 star review if it had a sampler or sequencer, a sequencer in particular would have been an amazing feature and would have let this little keyboard wipe up most of the competition especially at this price.

I wonder how many PPL bought the MPK Mini then saw this ha ha.

Compact and handy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2018

Verified Purchase

Bought this to make music production more accessible for my kid. They can just pick it up using the on board battery power (3xAA) and on board weak, but okay speaker, which is great if you're on your own and there's no noise around (plus with a kid using it without headphones having it not too loud is a good thing).

Pads are great quality and responsive. Keys are okay for the price of what this is. In built sounds aren't mind blowing and I'm sure I heard a lot of them 25 years or so, but are fine for what this is.

Connected to the pc, this is pretty awesome and easy to move and store.

Best keyboard ever? No.

Best portable, built in sound, battery operated keyboard with lots of cool little functions? I'd say yes for the money.

Catastrophe CLAVIER Akai MPKmini play

Reviewed in France on 14 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Bonjour à toutes et tous.
Attention Akai MPKmini play, une catastrophe pour le clavier, les touches se fissure au niveaux charnières, car il n'y en à pas ? !!!
Incroyable que Akai nous est fait çà, c'est un bloc de PCV rigide moulé et de simples languettes dans la masse, à force de faire torsion le PVC se fissure.
J'ai acheter mon Akai MPKmini play le 31 janvier 2020 , il le clavier se désintègre petit à petit et çà dans un usage normale, style mélodie, et je me pose la question sur les PADs.
Le plus grave dans ma ville ont et trois personnes à avoir le même problème.
Ont à donc démonté celui qui n'était plus sous garantie, et pris des photos, du dit problème, ont à vite compris que de modèle MPK PROFESSIONAL, il n'y à que le mot
marqué dessus, du moins pour le CLAVIER c'est franchement pas cool.
Mis à part le clavier le reste nous parait correcte, mais pour un achat à 100 euros en s'attend à mieux.
J'ai acheter Akai MPKmini play, car mon vieux EDIROL PCR1 n'a pas voulut de windows 10, il n'avait pas une rides et milles heures au clavier encore nickel.
Donc le Akai MPKmini c'est un Synthé Piano de Marque, avec un clavier de jouet à 10 euros ni plus ni moins, je ne sent gruger , tromper sur le produit.
C'est pour moi une forme de vol au consommateur, çà promet le nouveau matériel à venir de chez Akai, c'est dommage car beaucoup croyais à se petit sinthé.
Alors avant de l'acheté sacher que le clavier et de la daube et trés fragile mécaniquement, prenait une languette de PVC rigide, faite lui faire plusieurs torsions, sa chauffe, se fissure et casse.
A part le clavier le reste et bien, et fait le job dommage non ?... chercher l’erreur !!!
Impossible d'avoir un retour de Akai, de savoir si pièce de rechange existe, le mien et encore garantie, je vais devoir le renvoyer en SAV, de toute façons j'aurais toujours ce même problèmes avec, j'ai vue son point faible une honte pour la marque, au pire un pvc téflon et plus résistant ? non !!!, donc je ne le garderais pas et n'en ferai pas de Pub.
J'ai bien réfléchi avant d'avoir poster se poste d'avoir explication, mais puisque que pas de réponse d'Akai, je poste les photos en préventions au nouveaux acheteurs.
De plus le logiciel fournie avec (Akai MPKmini play Favorite Editor) en Anglais et peu d'infos serviables dans le PDF en Anglais.
Les logiciels fournis avec ILOK LICENCE une catastrophe aprés avoir refait mon windows seul un fonctionne.
Bon néanmoins si Akai reconnais qu'il y à problème, c'est un bon Synthé Piano au niveau électronique embarqué.
Nous allons essayer de faire nous même une refonte amélioré des deux claviers non garantis , un comble pendant qu'Akai paye plein tarif c'est ingénieurs pour faire moins bien.
Je suis client Amazon depuis pas mal de temps et en MAO première déception.
Pour envoi plus de détails photos et infos contacter moi par Amazon, je répondrai, je ne suis pas une critique concurente, je suis un client déçu du produit.
Ci-joint la photos du clavier, Faites vous votre propre opinion.
Capitaine Pat47.
PS: merci à Akai de me contacter s'il le veulent ont aura peu être trouvé une solution nous les petits musiciens du dimanche.
