Super Fun Tool

I already have a big professional synth. But sometimes you are too tired/lazy to play on your workstation. On the other hand, you can grab this mini keyboard with or without your laptop to come up with some synth licks. Having a bunch of onboard sounds/instruments is super nice, because you can take this keyboard with you to any journey, and have some fun time. Still thinking? Just buy it.

Fun, works great with garageband

Not a pro - just having fun but this device works great.

Amazing keyboard

Simply Amazing we loved the fast shipping and the keyboard is great. I bought it for my husband for Christmas and he can’t stop making beats.

Great product and price

Well Made great quality Midi keyboard. Akai always makes great hi end audio products My first was reel to reel that was built like a tank

eh

I bought this after the MKII the Miniplay is for kids...

it works for my needs

this controller is cool.i didn't download the free software,i have an editor i like just fine(Sony acid).if you connect through the usb to your computer it will work but not with its firmware,it works as a midi controller but thats it.i ran it through my USB interface mixer,i used a 3.5 audio cord for the connection from the mpk mini plays earphone jack to the line in on my mixer and it works great. all in all this gizmo is useful and i like it.it also works well in my editor as a midi board controller .as every one has stated in the negative reviews the speaker does suck but though a mixer or headphones it works just fine.

Very nice keyboard

I ordered this for my son, who loves everything music. He is 16, and this is his new favorite. I love that you can use this without having to attach it to an external speaker, but have the option if wanted. There are so many different sounds possible. I would purchase again.

Best buy in a long time for me

For the price of this analog synth, one can't expect much, right? Not true! I find myself playing this more than any other synth that I own. Just for the pure enjoyment of sitting down, powering up my main keyboard to emulate a B3 and then playing the melody with percussive organ on this little keyboard is so much more than expected. Everyday it seems to draw me into playing more and enjoying music so much more. This keyboard explodes with the joy of music for me.

it is to small to play real nice sounds great,,,,,

I like it but cant play it because of size;;;;
