Hard Case replacement for AKAI Professional MPK Mini MK3 / MPK Mini Play MK3 25 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller

Perfect fit... Decksaver fits as well...

I have been a musician for more than 15 years, playing the mandolin in acoustic jam sessions, bands and home recordings. I have also produced amateur recordings for about ten years, using several different hardware based digital multi-track recorders. In the last year I switched to computer based recording, when I discovered the affordability and astonishing breadth of capability offered by software systems. My choice of software is Logic Pro X and Mainstage 3. As I became familiar with the OSX music production software, I realized the importance of a midi controller to make use of the numerous software instruments and other digital music production techniques. I have nearly no keyboard skill, so this meant learning, not only a new musicianship skill, but also learning the technical nuts and bolts of digital music production methods. After several months of familiarizing myself with the capabilities of Logic and Mainstage I felt like I was ready to make a reasonably informed decision about what might be my best first midi hardware gear purchase. In this review I list the features I felt I would need to best enable my progress toward some minimal level of competence and how well I believe this controller met my expectations. First, I needed a keyboard that would not be a hindrance to learning to play a keyboard. I reasoned that I need full-sized keys, with velocity sensitivity, aftertouch, an adequate number octaves, a pitch bend wheel and a modulation wheel. Admitting that I do not have any experience against which to evaluate how this controller measures up against these criteria, I am very pleased with how this keyboard met my expectations. although not weighted, the key bed feels substantial and operates smoothly. Although far short of a full-sized 88-key behemoth, the Launchkey 49 seems completely adequate. The pitch and mod wheels are sturdy and responsive. To have some flexibility in mapping screen controls, in Mainstage and assigning them to physical midi controls, I predicted that I would need a reasonable number of knobs and sliders. While Launchkey controllers are specifically designed to map to the Abelton Live interface, I have found this controller to be sufficiently flexible for a variety of Mainstage patch configurations with enough physical controls to manage a number of instrument parameters, effects sends, patch changes etc.

Very nice case. I already had a case for my Akai mini. I wanted to see if this case would fit my Elektron Samples unit and sure enough it fits quite nicely along with the the power chord! It has a very nice plush material inside and it certainly provides enough of protection to keep your unit protected. I primarily needed it to keep my Elektron unit free from dust because I am a phanatic when it comes to taking care of my gear. I wouldn’t be surprised if this case would be a good fit for other 25 key controller keyboards and not just limited to the Akai mini as I was pleasantly surprised to discover! Another really nice thing is the seller had contacted me to ensure that I receive the product! I thought that was pretty nice! I would given 6 stars!

Nice and sturdy, but lightweight. Fits the Akai mini keyboard well.

I love my case for my AKAI Mini MPK! The case is sleek and doesn't take up a lot of space. There isn't much padding on the inside; however it does protect the corners and the elastic strap keeps it secure. Definitely a great investment in taking care of your equipment.

Perfect fit for the unit itself and a USB cable

The case is perfect for the Akai, though I wish it has been made to hold the extra needed to make this 25-key controller useful - a midi or a computer since this keyboard has to have input to make sound. So if the case was maybe an inch or so taller so that the small laptop I use with the DAW, Ableton Live Lite - that would make it so much better...other than that, it's a fine case for the Akai.

This product works great for the akai apk mk2(and probably a few other mini controllers). Excellent interior material, nice mesh net to keep usb cables in. Exterior & overall construction is similar to the magma cases djs use to carry controllers around in, so you know what your getting here. It works and holds up. I went with this one over the other because of the interior mesh sleeve and material used inside. I'm very happy with the purchase. This also includes a handle that works and is well attached but I've usually tossed this into a backpack. If your looking for a small case for you apk mini this is a smart move.

A must have if you plan to toss your APK mini into a backpack.

Great product, easy to travel with

Protection de l'AKAI mini et rangement du câble de branchement. Bon produit, bien adapté pour le produit. Akai mini. L'élastique de maintien du clavier est très utile car fermé on ne reconnait pas le haut du bas.. Les finitions sont propres '. Intérieur velours , extérieur rugueux non dérapent. La poche pour le rangement intérieur du câble est correcte. Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat!

Genial para el akai mini plus, me gusta mucho y encaja a la perfección. Lo recomiendo para este modelo.
