Review: Easy to setup and use. To become a Tardis of exploration and creativity ❤️ - Been wanting a mini synth for years. Never had the spare dosh to purchase one. Along came another birthday and instead of spending it on the usual, purchased something for me. Oh boy so glad I did. Although I've still a lot to learn, each time I have a bit of me time I discover another gem sound or technique on this incredible unit (For the money it absolutely brilliant) The software it comes with is also great - especially like the customisability of synth sounds and been able to tweak them. I know a year on I've still barely scratched the surface of what this can do, but it brings a smile to my face every time I plug it in, and away I go 🎹🎶 Happiness is
Review: It deserves the accolades given by professional musicians. - The perfect mini mobile controller to complement my Hoton Ampero Multi Effects Pedal and BOSS RC-30 Loop Pedal. My principal instrument is electric violin, but also play guitar, mandolin, and ukulele. This Akai mini controller is perfect for creating rhythms and backing loops for my solo performance as a busker. It's fun to play with but also a serious piece of high quality kit for any musician using pedals, or a composer who needs a mini keyboard that's compact and has a rich pallette of sounds. The keyboard feels well made. It's NOT a guitar pedal that's used on the ground. The AKAI is an instrument that will be used and treated with care and respect like any other keyboard. So, it's build quality is comparable to larger keyboards like my Yamaha. I had no problem connecting the AKAI to my Smartphone and Tablet using a Piano App. Whilst the controller is designed to be used with a DAW on MAC or PC, I like being able to learn, practice, and experiment with chord inversions and progressions on the go, as I recently started learning keyboard with Pianote. The AKAI is not a substitute for a digital piano or keyboard but it's a very useful tool with a lot of potential. IMPORTANT! Don't use Bluetooth to connect to a smartphone or tablet as you'll have latency problems. Use a cable and there's no latency issue. (The age and quality of your PC, smartphone or tablet could issues. But it works fine with my Huawei P20 Pro, DELL XPS 17, and Neocore Tablet. There are plenty of YouTube videos that provide excellent instruction and reviews by professional musicians who give in depth, hands on analysis of the keyboard. Every review I've watched and read is full of praise for this MIDI Controller. Another 'best buy' for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The AKAI Professional MPK Mini MK3 A Fantastic MIDI Controller Keyboard
*by L***O on 20 July 2021*

Delivered to me in an, "Amazon," robust protective cardboard box. My, "AKAI Professional MPK Mini MK3 25 keys USB MIDI," keyboard controller, was on arrival, contained in a dynamically, aesthetically and positively pleasing to look at, manufacturer's box. See it in my eight included images. The unit is well packaged, inside a clear polythene bag and securely held by two polystyrene end pieces. Additionally, the keys are also protected by a thin, peel off sheet of clear plastic film. This is a fantastic MIDI keyboard. "AKAI," have created this newest MIDI instrument, which has a plethora of practical and very useful controls with adjustable settings. This is perfect for musicians, composers and arrangers, such as myself. Among these are, eight pads and assignable controls, which I find to be of perfect integration with my music DAW recording and production software. I use, "Reaper" and "PreSonus Studio One," recording software. I am a musician, composer and arranger and I find playing the keys and pads on my, "MPK Mini MK3," have a positive and smooth travel action and the keybed is perfect and reassuringly stable. My, "MPK Mini MK3," works out of the box with my DAW's and does not require any software drivers. However, in addition, "AKAI," have provided a vast amount of free downloadable software to use with this unit. To obtain these downloads, I went to the, "AKAI Pro Download," website, to create an account, to register my product. Once registered and signed in, I selected my, "MPK Mini MK3," from the list. Then it was a case of clicking on and running the corresponding installer icon, obtaining a serial number in order to unlock the software. The serial number is used to unlock the software, once the downloads have completed. A set of printed instruction etc and a USB cable are also included along with the,"MPK Mini MK3." "My, "MPK Mini MK3," is a fantastic addition to my other MIDI controller and Synth keyboards. I give this keyboard, "Five Stars" and recommend it enthusiastically. Les A. G. Durno.
