Akai MPK Mini PLAY vs. MPK Mini - Which one should you choose??

🎹 Akai MPK Mini PLAY👇

🎹 Akai MPK Mini Mk3👇

Akai's MPK Mini Play gets a huge update with this MK.3 version. The Built-in keys, synth and drum presets sound awesome, the upgraded key bed and drum pads play great, and this midi keyboard has already become one of my favorite options. In this video I want to help you decide if those extra features are worth a slight price increase when compared to the MPK Mini mk.3.

Thanks Patrick. I own the older Mini Play and use it for little chord/melody riffs and drums for live looping while I play guitar. I wish they would make a 37 key Mini Play big time. EDIT: I don't need the speaker or even battery power, just want built in sounds and a line out.

Really well shot video, kept my attention.

Good $h17!!! Thanks. I made my decision and now I don’t have to return it. I’ll just keep it and buy a Behringer MS-1 to add to by portable kit. This will be perfect for lunch at work.

Is it worth buying MIDI controller. I am about to begin learning DAW..

[geneavorio]

Hey Patrick is this compatible with garage band? Also are you able to compose, record, and playback on the road without a computer?
This would be my first try with a keyboard controller.

Will they both play connected to an IPad?

[FlatWHDF]

Is this worth it if you have a MPC ONE

[connormckay]

Can you add more sounds to the mini play?

[daveyleeriot]

Is the speaker decent??
I'm not expecting nothin crazy, but I hope it's at least comparable to my iphone speaker...

Hello, thanks for the video. Can I get AKAi mini play sound in Logic Pro ? Do I need an audio interface ? Thanks !

[joshuam]

IM looking for info, I just got one from GC and I think its a different version of the play. The speaker looks way smaller and the knobs above the pads are to the right by the speaker, Should I look for the one in your video or are they the same with only a bigger speaker and

Does it do reloop can I use it without using a laptop computer going to use it with my karaoke USA machine

[toxiic]

Can you use the MPK Mini on its own, or does it have to be plugged in (i.e. no self-power/battery)? Thank you!

[aarushanshankar]

Where did you get this version of the play? I have one as well and it looks completely different.

[JaejunL]

Which one do u think is better overall?

[agvinria]

For "mini play" they needed just reuse mk3 design, but put libraries and batteries, that's all. Now new mini play looks terrible (((
