Akai MPK88
The Akai MPK88 is a professional performance keyboard controller with MPC control of the production. The MPK88 draws on the design of the popular MPK49, the first keyboard with the functionality of MPC pads. This first of its kind keyboard is ideal for performance, it contains MPC pads, Q-Link controls, and a selection of MPC technologies. The MPK88 is born for the stage and is equally at home in the studio.
Creative input
MPK88 features an 88-key keyboard and 16 genuine MPC pads. Touch-hammer is fully weighted and features aftertouch control for melodic control are available. The MPC pads are sensitive to pressure and velocity to capture every nuance of your creative concepts. The pads can access four banks of sounds, giving you 64 samples at your fingertips.
The MPK88 places dedicated transport controls within your reach for easy control of some of the most important tracking and editing controls. The MPK88 has modulation wheels and pitch-bend for expressive musicality, and two assignable pedal inputs allow you to connect an expression pedal or a continuous pedal controller and also for momentary controls like patch change or start / stop.
Q-link control
One of the most important input devices on an MPC is its control assignable Q-Link section. Akai Pro built a massive collection of Q-Link in the MPK series. The MPK88 gives you eight virtual knobs that are assignable to control nearly any software parameter. You can control three different parameters per knob, with a total of 24 parameters. As the virtual knobs, eight virtual faders and eight virtual buttons also control three banks of parameters each, so you get 24 virtual faders and 24 virtual buttons.
Expression Engine
Two pioneering technologies in the MPC series and built into the MPK series: the MPC Note Repeat and MPC Swing. This modifier notes can be heard in many of the most popular titles in the last two decades. MPC Note Repeat is a capability that enables the MPK (or MPC) to automatically play a rhythm pattern for the accuracy and speed of entry. MPC Swing is sometimes called "the heart and soul of hip hop" because it turns perfectly aligned sequences in alignments more "human". You can specify exactly the degree and duration of swing you want to apply for the perfect feel.
The MPK88 has a split function, allowing you to control two different sounds from the same keyboard. In addition to the MPC technologies, the MPK88 has its own arpeggiator, which enables you to create quick, creative riffs in seconds. Just pick a note or chord and rhythm pattern in the library of the arpeggiator and MPK will play your notes in the rhythm and the chosen sequence.
The MPK88 also has MPC Full Level and MPC 16-Level on its pads, as well as Tap Tempo and Time Division so you can calibrate the tempo, duration, and dynamics exactly as you hear them in your head.
