Akai MPK Mini Plus II 37-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller with Advanced DAW Control and MPC Integration

The Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus II is a compact 37-key MIDI keyboard controller built for producers, beatmakers, MPC users, and hybrid hardware creators who want deeper hands on control without giving up portability. Its upgraded velocity sensitive mini keybed spans three octaves, while dedicated pitch and modulation wheels, RGB MPC pads, assignable knobs, transport controls, and a full color display keep core performance and production functions within reach.

Creative Tools for Building Ideas Faster

Expanded Arpeggiator, Chord, Scales, Note Repeat, and Progression modes give musicians multiple ways to generate melodies, rhythms, and harmonic ideas directly from the controller. Glitch adds rhythmic variation, Mutate introduces controlled note changes by shifting chord or progression tones through selected intervals, Freeze keeps an arpeggiated pattern running while you play independently, and Strum offsets chord note timing and direction for a more expressive strummed feel.

Hands On DAW and MPC Control

Eight velocity sensitive RGB MPC pads with aftertouch support finger drumming, clip launching, chord triggering, and custom progressions. MPK Mini Plus II also integrates with MPC Standalone and MPC Desktop for transport control, pads, knobs, pitch and modulation wheels, plugin presets, track navigation, mixing, and clip launching. Popular DAWs gain hands on control with real time display feedback, reducing the need to constantly return to the mouse and keyboard.

Connect Software and External Hardware

USB MIDI input and output handles computer based production, while the 5-pin MIDI output connects compatible synthesizers, drum machines, and other MIDI hardware. Three CV and Gate outputs support modular gear, and the sustain input expands keyboard performance.

RGB MPC Performance Pads

Eight velocity-sensitive RGB pads with aftertouch offer classic MPC-style control for finger drumming, clip launching, triggering chords, and custom progressions.

Hardware and Software Connectivity

Software instruments, external MIDI gear, synthesizers, and modular equipment are all able to connect from one compact creative command center.
