Akai - MPK Mini IV Grey

Akai has designed the MPK Mini IV as a natural extension of your imagination, combining the 25 velocity-sensitive mini keys with redesigned mechanics for a firmer feel and better dynamic response. The feeling of control is immediate: every nuance and accent comes through with astonishing accuracy. The enlarged keyboard gives you a comfortable playing range, even on fast passages or tight chord progressions. The new pitch and modulation wheels replace the old joystick; they're smooth, precise and fluid to use, perfect for fine, controlled variations.

Beneath its minimalist exterior, this little monster hides a formidable production powerhouse. The central colour LED display gives you clear visual feedback on every parameter, ideal for adjusting your mix without looking up from the keyboard. Eight assignable rotary encoders are waiting to be linked to your favourite plug-ins, while the eight RGB backlit MPC pads inherit the company's know-how: sensitive to pressure and velocity, they transform your groove into a real rhythmic signature.

The enhanced transport section lets you control your DAW without using the mouse. Start, stop, rec, everything responds instantly to smooth the creative flow. Scale and Chord modes guide your ear and fingering, opening up unsuspected melodic horizons. The advanced arpeggiator, with its Pattern, Freeze and Mutate functions, brings moving textures to life, perfect for exploring other sonic territories or injecting a little madness into your arrangements.

With its upgraded USB-C port, MIDI output and sustain pedal input, the MPK Mini IV's connectivity adapts to any environment. Pre-configured DAW scripts for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Bitwig and Cubase ensure frictionless 1-to-1 integration. And to complete the package, the Studio Instrument Collection - a bank of over 1,000 sounds from AIR, Akai Pro and Moog - propels you immediately into the material: round basses, textured leads, ethereal pads ready to come to life.
