“We are extremely excited to introduce the MPK Mini Play,” said Dan Gill, Product Manager for Akai Professional. All-in-one, easy-to-use fun with “pro” features-that’s the MPK Mini Play! When you want a bigger sound, simply connect to external speakers using the same output jack. If not disturbing others is a priority, players can use the mini-audio output jack to connect headphones to the MPK Mini Play. Not just a mini keyboard, the MPK Mini Play can also connect to a computer via USB port for the same plug-and-play MIDI functionality as the classic MPK Mini controllers.

Powered by 3 “AA” batteries, the MPK Mini Play is built for hours of wireless fun. Four knobs (two banks capable of controlling eight different parameters) can be used to tweak sounds and edit multiple parameters in real-time, giving musicians even more performance possibilities. With 8 backlit MPC drum pads and a 4-way joystick for simple control, players have all they need to play their music anytime, anywhere. The ultra-portable MPK Mini Play is based on the world’s most popular midi controller-Akai Professional’s MPK Mini-but now it comes packed with 128 sounds and its own built-in speaker.
