Akai - MPK Mini Plus + Komplete 15 Standard Upgrade
Here's a pack that doesn't waste any time: the Akai MPK Mini Plus, a new-generation 37-note USB master keyboard, combines here with Native Instruments' Upgrade Komplete 15 Standard to transform your DAW into a veritable creative powerhouse. This duo has a single objective: to make your musical ideas as easy to produce as they are to trigger. And with NKS integration, your virtual instruments won't have to worry about a thing.
Composition of the package
Presentation
Add to that velocity-sensitive RGB pads, 360° rotary encoders, a fully customisable arpeggiator, and a programmable MIDI joystick, and you've got a keyboard that looks like it ate an orbital control centre for breakfast. Compatible with Mac/PC and standalone MPCs, it proudly displays its MIDI In/Out, CV Gate, Clock and sustain input ports. In short, the MPK Mini Plus may only be 'Mini' in name, but it's a conductor at ease in any configuration, from jogging beatmaking to calibrated live techno.
As a complement, Native Instruments' Komplete 15 Standard Upgrade injects your setup with a dizzying collection of over 95 instruments and effects, 50,000 sounds, and around fifty expansion packs. We're talking about Kontakt 8, Guitar Rig 7 Pro, Massive X, and Ozone 11 here: modernised classics, brilliant new features, and even a few sound bugs from secret laboratories. Installation is via Native Access, and once up and running, your biggest problem will be choosing between 12 pianos, 18 synths or 7 virtual drums to get you started.
The whole thing benefits from NKS integration, guaranteeing seamless navigation between Akai hardware and Native Instruments instruments. Want to stack three layers of sound, automate filters in real time, and trigger West African percussion samples with a single pad? It's now an everyday activity. This pack is clearly on the side of setups that make noise, in every sense of the word. Ideal for budding producers and seasoned sound alchemists alike.
