The 8 backlit, velocity-sensitive MPC pads feature two banks for triggering samples and loops, increasing the dynamics of performances.
The four assignable knobs allow precise parameter manipulation in any DAW, and the four-way joystick provides intuitive controls for pitch and modulation.
The MPK Mini Play Mk3 also includes an arpeggiator with tap tempo, note repeat and full level functions, and dedicated octave shift buttons, making it extremely versatile for composition and performance.
Connectivity is provided by a minijack headphone output and a USB-Midi port, and the unit can be powered via USB or with 4 AA batteries, providing great flexibility for music creation on the go.
