In this video, I compare the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini keyboard to the Akai MPK Mini MK3 keyboard. This video will help you decide which one is right for you. These are two of the best budget midi keyboard controllers available right now and the Akai MPK Mini MK3 is one of the most popular. But the features of the M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini keyboard make it a better purchase in my opinion (for most people). So watch this video to find out if the M-Audio oxygen Pro Mini keyboard is better than the Akai MPK Mini MK3 keyboard. I go through the features, the key feel, drum pads, DAW compatibility and features, note repeat, chord and arpeggiator features and more.

1:30 on the Akai mpk mini mk3 with long press "full level" button until the screen changes. Then you can adjust it by knobs. To save it long press again the "full level".Default settings: v1=24.0_v2=06.0_v3=04.0_v4=02.4_black bal=0.7x

I think this convinced me to sell off my MPK mini and buy the Oxygen Pro. I never really liked it all that much anyways and its for all the reasons the Oxygen Pro seems to counter. I'm personally excited to try out a keybed that doesn't feel like I'm having to hammer it.

@lorenzopino5027 3 года назад

Hi Sanjay. Thanks! Awesome video as usual! By the way to change the velocity curve of the Akai mini mpk3 I also found the solution in a forum and I tested it. Long press the full level button for a few seconds and then use the k2 knob to change the v2 value that is the one controlling the velocity curve. Changing it from 06 to about 12 or more really changes the keyboard sensitivity. When you have done your changes long press full level again to get back to the normal mode. It is still a mystery what are the v1, v2 and v4 variables for. I’m gonna find out ;) By the way if you accidentally mess up the values these are the factory defaults: V1: 24.0 V2: 06.0 V3: 04.0 V4: 02.4 Black bal: 0.7x

@lorenzopino5027 3 года назад

The other Vn values seems to affect other parts of the velocity curve (starting from v4 for the lower velocities to the v1 for the higher velocities). The Black bal value seems to affect the relative balance in sensitivity between black and white keys. I think this is because the black keys have more mechanical resistance than the white ones.

Really? he gave a ball to the oxygen instead of googling how to change the velocity of the key on the akai. He also didn't seem to know that the akai has a program control button that makes the pads able to trigger clips and scenes or stop or start, they can also send cc messages to jump to specific settings.

@Dansero07 3 года назад

Ordered the M-Audio Oxygen Pro mini! Thanks for the video. Been looking at mini keyboard controllers for a while now. I’m a guitar player and wanted to be able to play around with different sounds. Preferably small keyboard 32 keys over 25 keys with decent feel. Simple integration with Logic. Drum pads, and some tools for beginners to keys. Looks like the m-audio fits the bill perfect. If I later want to learn more piano, then I’ll look into an 88-key.

@Divuar 3 года назад

It's funny how pre-mapped presets are selling points these days. I remember programming the controls for DAW manually (which was a pain, of course). I mean I also don't like to invest time into programming a device, all I want is to plug and play the thing. So it's not a complaint, more like an observation.

@FlockofSmeagles 3 года назад

Things like mackie control and preset configurations are great. Especially if you're moving between one DAW to another, but you can't beat a custom script. Yeah, it's time consuming, but, for me personally. Having to barely use the GUI in my DAW at all is very nice. As there are no limitations to what I can and can't do. Where MC and brand assigned presets have there limitations. Mind you, I am using a full control surface along side a launch key mini for scene control.

@JimmiG84 3 года назад

Great to see both controllers side by side for the size comparison. I think I'm going to stick with my MPK Mk3 for its compact size, it fits perfectly in a little space left of my computer keyboard on my desk. The Oxygen would probably be too wide in my particular case. For most users, the extra keys and functionality are probably worth it, though.

@sanderkoit7667 Год назад

For anyone considering, there is a large issue with the Oxygen pro - the pads. Just sold the Akai and got the M-audio. Oxygen pro pads don't recognise fast touches at all. It recognizes softer touches well but if you drum a bit faster - no matter the velocity, it does not trigger the pad. This was not an issue with the Akai. Also some software issues with keys sticking in chord mode and I would say the general build quality is questionable (rattling keys and buttons). I'm not sure if I can recommend it.

@ianrydquist9729 Год назад

I wondered if anyone else had this issue with the pads overloading on fast touches. Its a real bummer because I like everything else about it. Probably gonna send it back for this reason.

@nutellaontoast4281 3 года назад

From personal experience (I have the mkii akai), anything beats the akai, I personally would recommend the Alesis v25 or vmini instead of the akai .the Alesis v line has simpler controls similar to the akai, easier for beginners, although the m audio looks great for someone who is more serious. The akai just has bad software and the keys feel horrible, and overtime, develop what I call 'phantom notes' when a key acts like it's still held down even when you have let go. Thanks for the video Sanjay!

@JimmiG84 3 года назад

The Mk3 is a huge improvement over the Mk2, though (I've owned both). The keybed, pads and knobs are all hugely improved. Even the plastic case feels sturdier. On the Mk2, the plastic keys themselves act as fulcrum. The keys bend to provide the "spring" force and resistance, and they're prone to snapping off. On the Mk3, the keys are properly sprung and feel more solid (though they're still small and quite thin).

@TheSakuraGumiLTD 3 года назад

I think the pitch and mod is suggestive on both… the joy stick to be is better for more realistic control of both… something I love about the Roland keyboards. The joy stick isn’t as controllable as the Roland keyboards one… but it has the same quality of doing both expressively… for me I like the organic effect of it not being precise of one or the other…. So it’s depends on what you’re making or how your work flow fits it. For my precise single operation of pitch and mod are better programmed in the DAW… so the joy stick fits when I simply want to be dynamically expressive

I have just bought an M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini from a reseller here in the UK. I tried to follow the information put out by M-Audio but the installation is a complete nightmare!!!!! My DAW (whatever that means!!) is Cubase and my platform is the iMAC with the most up to date o/s. I was able to update the firmware in th unit and download and install the Software Manager. However, when I tried to set-up the unit to run with my Cubase the instructions shown on the M-Audio site bear no resemblance to what is showing on my MAC's screen the net result of which is that whilst the "piano" keys on th unit will activate the notes when I call up Halion Sonic SE on a new track, none of the other function keys or pads work as controllers to the software. I also had installed the Hybrid 3, Mini Grand and Velvet apps but could not find any way to get the activation keys and when I started Cubase I got error messages for each application that said they could not be loaded into Cubase as they are 32 bit. Really, really fed up and frustrated by this experience and, when I try to contact M-Audio Support I get the message that my log-in is invalid despite the fact I had been through the registration and carried out the earlier download and installation. Not at all happy or impressed.

I really do like how compact and portable the AKAI is, but the M-Audio is just about as portable as well. In my eyes the AKAI is more aesthetic, but I could see what you mean by that it looks like a toy. Overall the M-Audio offers more features and has more keys. Imo, the AKAI should have been in the $100 price range. But considering they're both ~120, the M-Audio wins.

I was excited for a sec there, but it's almost twice the price over here on amazon, dafuq.

@DevilKiller100 Год назад

I have both, and basically I prefer the oxygen. But in Ableton Live, when I manually map a knob or a fader, it doesn't overwrite/replace the previous automatic mapping. So it map 2 features at once, and this is a prbolem. Anyone knows how to solve it?

@gw2156 Год назад

Idk can you save it as a user preset? Or is there a way to configure it in any accompanying software app?

@chenchaso39 3 года назад

I have had my mph mini mk3 for a while and love using it coming from mpc hardware to make beats however I've started using Serrano studio and while it also works with that daw I kinda like the missing features such as transport controls. I might make a switch still on the fence. Thanks for the comparison.

Which mini keyboard would you say is the best anturia mini or the m audio oxygen pro

@Jason75913 3 года назад

Native Instruments M32 Oxygen Pro Mini if the M32 isn't compatible with your DAW

I bought my mpk mini a while back and I honestly hate the hard pressing notes . Wish I saw this before buying . Would’ve gone for the oxygen pro

@TheDrDave89 3 года назад

Played both of these and the novation launchkey, for a little mini MPK I still prefer the Akai. I twin it with a launchpad and the way I work (at home or live) this is the best for productivity (for me). I've also got a couple of drums racks with sounds that I use regularly so having the pads with endless knobs saves money on the Midi Fighter 3D I "don't" need.

@leachim66 3 года назад

Love that they're starting to add serial midi to these little keyboards. The Novation Launchkey Mini mk3 was pretty much the only other option smaller than a keystep before

Unfortunately, the M-Audio Oxygen Pro MINI doesn’t come with GarageBand support.

Would love to see a comparison of Oxygen Pro Mini to the MPK Mini MK3 Plus version. It looks like it might address some of the short comings displayed on this video.

@Turtles8179 Год назад

Been thinking this too

@gw2156 Год назад

Yes we need this

@kevinsutherland9756 3 года назад

Hey Sanjay love the channel... considering either the NI M32 or the oxygen pro mini... using cubase and kontakt for most of my stuff... any thoughts on which way you'd go? love the m32 config for kontakt but also love the cubase config on the oxygen.

@stephenpierce2274 3 года назад

Checking out your offers - trying to... not seeing a way to get a preview listen to hear what it is and whether it fits. Interest in Friday Night Sample Pack and Sanjay's Rhodes

@phatfaux Год назад

can't give the akai a win for size because the maudio should get one too for more keys and being bigger... if size was an issue large or small, these 2 should never have gone head to head...

@gw2156 Год назад

He covered the keys in the keybed section

Oxygen pro vs Minilab 3 video?

@gw2156 Год назад

Yes pls

@tracymussotte4184 3 года назад

Hey Sanjay I love your compare videos. I was wondering if you could compare midi keyboard controllers with 16 pads like Alesis VI25 vs M-Audio Oxygen Pro 25 vs Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 vs Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 vs any others in that criteria. Because I would love to know which one is best.

@koncreteprod5467 3 года назад

Shed a tear for me I bought the Akai 2 months ago before the M audio was released🥲

@FadingPixel 3 года назад

Rip

@koncreteprod5467 3 года назад

Super rip coz I really like the oxygen mini... one video and I'm already sold I think I'll try to sell the mpk

@brainwavetony6201 3 года назад

How do you think the Arturia MiniLab Mk2 would play against these two? I'm torn between getting one of those three right now :( My deciding factors would be the value of included softwares/plugins and overall quality

@SanjayC 3 года назад

Arturia definitely has awesome synth software, and the keys are the best. But they need to update it soon because its lacking new features like transport controls, arps, etc. So for now, my advice is to go with the M-Audio

@walkersonneville5036 2 года назад

My son is a very talented piano player. He has been playing on a 1990 Roland, he tries to blend with the functions that are on the Roland which is very limited. He tries to save and then add beats and chords, I am not musical at All by the way. I saw you also had a review of the Arturia... How does that rate against the oxygen pro? For his first mini which one would you recommend? TMI but he has been doing the Halo theme song on the 199 0 Roland and it's absolutely amazing but he can do. I want to encourage this in him and honestly I don't know how

@SanjayC 2 года назад

Wow...he sounds very inclined to be a musician. If your son wants to learn music production then he may like the features on the M-Audio Oxygen Pro a lot more.
