Akai Pro MPK mini

If you have spent any time reading the reviews of the LPD8 and the LPK25, rest assured you can apply them to this product as well. The MPK Mini is literally a combination of the LPD8 and LPK25; nothing less and nothing more. Which is a great thing if you've been considering both!

This is my first MPC product but I am an experienced keyboardist. The Pads are pretty nice. I enjoy how they light up when you hit them. Like others said regarding the LPD8, they aren't as sensitive as some might prefer, and I'm inclined to agree. It tends not to register some of might lighter hits, so I'm having to get used to how hard I have to hit it. No big deal. It's also nice to have the knobs. They aren't as nice as professional grade knobs, but they work nicely for such a compact unit. The keyboard has mini keys and they are very sturdy. Some complain that it feels like a toy keyboard. Of course it does, they are mini keys! The keys are fine for their purpose of capturing ideas. I do not consider them performance worthy.

For those comparing this to other 25 key midi controllers, please know what you are comparing. There's a reason this is $100. It's simply a combination of two other products. Don't complain about the lack of pitch/mod wheels. The purpose of this product is portability and to allow you to capture ideas when you don't feel like lugging around larger equipment. For these reasons, I find it to be an excellent product.

Definitely pick this product up if you're looking for something extremely portable with acceptable mini keys and very playable MPC pads.

This product is very compact and extremely affordable. It has all the features you may want out a controller (except the mod and pitch bend wheels; but you can assign those functions to knobs). Speaking of knobs, for some reason the default program setting for the controller is set to have no control change (CC#) value for any of the knobs, this makes it seem to a first time MIDI user such as myself that the unit's knobs are non-responsive. Customer service is very busy/poor at AKAI/ALESIS's 800 telephone number and e-mail support seems very slow as well. All you have to do is change the program to the 2nd default setting and the knobs have values assigned, you don't need to return the controller or have it repaired.M
