Compact 37-Key MIDI Controller for Beatmaking and Production

The Akai MPK Mini Plus II is a compact 37-key MIDI controller built for beatmaking, songwriting, and hybrid production. A velocity-sensitive mini keybed pairs with eight pressure-sensitive RGB MPC pads, eight assignable 360° knobs, and dedicated pitch/mod wheels for finger drumming and live tweaking. A full-color 160×80 LCD shows parameter names and real-time DAW feedback, replacing the laptop glance during a session.

Generative Tools, MPC Integration, and Modular Connectivity

Glitch, Mutate, and Strum modes sit alongside an expanded arpeggiator, Chord Creator, Note Repeat, and a chord progression mode that triggers programmed progressions from the pads. Deep integration covers MPC Standalone and MPC Desktop, plus scripted control for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, and Cubase, with NKS compatibility for Native Instruments' Komplete Kontrol.

Pitch Bend: Yes

The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.
