I need the akai to make a MPK mini play BUT as a PLUS version with 37 keys...

@kloakovalimonada 4 месяца назад

Exactly

@GuyVignati 2 месяца назад

That would be great, leaving space also for more knobs and not streamlined pads!

@E_-_- Год назад

Just got mine (mini plus). This thing is 100% worth it. Everything just works. Super fun to play with. I also tried Minilab 3 which was a struggle from start to finish. The only good thing about Minilab 3 is the keys. Which, here you have an octave more. I think MPK mini plus is 2022's winner

@E_-_- Год назад

Be sure to download the firmware, which fixed my jittering Mod wheel. Out of the box it can come with a very low version number (0.5 or something)

@bloodcell6282 Год назад

How is it working with Ableton or logic? I was disposable with my last 2 akai but of course I ordered this new variation

@E_-_- Год назад

@@bloodcell6282 Sorry mate I use Reaper. In essence, it doesn't work at all with Reaper, that is, the 5 transport buttons don't do anything until they are configured in the daw For example the play button fromthe AKAI sends a midi message (B0 76 7F) which, in Reaper, you could assign to the action "Play", or anything else really. I'm not sure if such things are possible with Live. But I would be surprised if it doesn't work though, considering Live's popularity edit: actually there are presets for ableton and Logic in the AKAI bank 3 (prog select + pad 3) is Logic, I think bank 2 is Ableton but I have overwritten it

@bloodcell6282 Год назад

@@E_-_- thank you for replying. thats how i found my last 2 worked as well, even though they had settings for the daw they never worked right. im so surprised there isnt some shared scripts for each daw, im pretty sure i had editors for each akai ive owned. i know they have them for my novaiob products and they are layed out nicely...yet ive searched for scripts before and never found them..business idea :) have a great week!

Amazing video man! I’ve been loving the MPK Mini Plus and honestly for the price differentials, it feels like a no brainer for the added keys and functionality. Gotta mess with the sequencer more - that beat you made at the end was 🔥🔥🔥

Just a quick question because I am trying to decide and this would be a dealbreaker for me, are you able to use every sound/drums that the akai mini mk3 can do on the mini play? Or is the mini play only limited to those built in soundkits?

How about a Bluetooth option for wireless midi and an on/off switch for the Bluetooth transmitter to save batteries

@BluelightGaming1 Год назад

Is the main point of having the built in sequencer just so you can not use a daw for that? Confused why you would want that on the plus.

@fostergood191 10 месяцев назад

How do I set up the mini plus on logic, having a pretty hard time trying to set it up

@alll261 10 месяцев назад

Is it possible to link 2 of these together with guitar ?

@senpai_mangue6141 8 дней назад

i wonder, could you run a data cable(ONLY) into the MPK mini plus midi out

@herroglop7411 15 дней назад

Is it possible to connect the Mini Plus to an Android phone with some virtual instrument? Considering the issue of connectivity-compatibility and powering the Mini Plus. If there is a way of "getting" sounds ( keyboars, pianos, drums, instruments like that....) apart from plugging it into a computer or the phone I would appreciate that info too. Thanks

@mingusx3440 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I bought the MPK Mini plus as an upgrade to my original MPK Mk1 because of the added transport control section. But to my disappointment, I found out the MPK Mini Plus is not plug-and-play (for both Logic and MPC Beats). I found this to be weird because it has program select options for these DAWs. Really frustrating!

@jeannedarc1566 Год назад

Whaaat…mine is being delivered today and I thought it would be, given Logic is one of its options. Hmmm

@mingusx3440 Год назад

@@jeannedarc1566 yeah, it's not plug-and-play. Holla back though when you get yours. Would love to hear your experience. I know I was hella frustrated, so much so that I went and switched and got Native Instruments' M32 keyboard. NI's keyboard is already mapped out the box and the transport controls work perfectly for Logic.

@G73Server 5 месяцев назад

What does plug and play mean?

@mingusx3440 5 месяцев назад

@@G73Server it means it works as soon as you connect it. Maybe they have updated it now, don't know. I haven't touched it in while. Been using NI gear. NI gear is plug-and-play. Just works.

Hey, nice video! I'm looking for a midi keyboard for my 11 y.o. son who plays a bit piano and would like to try produce some music. I'm stuck between mini mk3 and mini plus. Although mini plus has obviouse advantages, I've got a feeling that it is at the same time more complicated and could cause some learning troubles for a beginner. What would you recommend for a complete newbie teenager?

@PatrickBreenMusic Год назад

I like mini plus because it has more keys! The more advanced features like arp and sequencer will be nice to have if he decides to get into that kind of music. But they don’t get in the way of the keyboards basic functionality, if that makes sense.

Easy, none of them. The keys have zero weight and the pads are hard as rocks. Added bonus the MPC “essentials” software is shite.

@pizzaboy1996 Год назад

what do you recommend?

@dreamsneezer8668 Год назад

@@pizzaboy1996 depends on budget, how serious someone is, and what they plan on creating a majority of the time. This thing is cool because of the price and you can play around and make some beats with it and it’s fun. I would recommend going with something that has bigger weighted keys and is a keyboard only, then grab some hardware with more pads for drums later or visa versa. If your not a keyboard player then you could probably get by with something that has a decent amount of pads only.
