{"product_id":"akai-mpk-mini-plus-ii","title":"AKAI MPK Mini Plus II 37-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AKAI MPK Mini Plus II is the second generation of Akai Professional's compact 37-key controller. It combines a three-octave mini keybed with MPC pads, assignable encoders and a colour display. CV\/Gate outputs and a MIDI DIN output alongside USB-C let it play software, MPC setups, external MIDI hardware and modular systems. It suits players who want more hands-on control without moving to a full-size keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e37 velocity-sensitive mini keys\u003c\/strong\u003e on an upgraded keybed, with pitch bend and modulation wheels and octave\/transpose buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight RGB MPC pads\u003c\/strong\u003e, sensitive to velocity and pressure, with dual banks for pads and encoders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight assignable 360° knobs\u003c\/strong\u003e plus a 360° push encoder, with parameters shown on a full-colour 160 x 80 LCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded arpeggiator\u003c\/strong\u003e with Chord, Scale, Note Repeat and Progression modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenerative tools\u003c\/strong\u003e: Glitch, Mutate, Strum, Freeze and Follow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e: three 3.5 mm CV\/Gate outputs, five-pin MIDI out and a sustain pedal input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with the first MPK Mini Plus, Akai has added the colour display, Progression mode, Strum and Mutate, more arpeggiator features, new pad modes and dedicated DAW maps. USB-B has been replaced by USB-C, and the joystick has been removed in favour of separate pitch and mod wheels. Transport controls remain on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the studio, the controller ships with dedicated maps for MPC 3, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio and other DAWs. It is fully NKS-compatible with Komplete Kontrol, with plug-in parameters shown on the screen. With MPC Standalone and MPC Desktop it handles transport, pads, knobs, wheels, plug-in presets, track navigation and clip launching. Away from the computer, the CV\/Gate and MIDI outputs make it a compact sequencing and playing hub for synths and Eurorack, in the same territory as the Arturia KeyStep. It is powered over USB-C from a computer, wall adapter or power bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe included software listed by Akai covers the Studio Instrument Collection, with over 1,000 sounds from AIR, Moog and Akai as VST3\/AU plug-ins or standalone, and Ableton Live Lite 12.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AKAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55568809492819,"sku":"MPKMINIPLUS2G","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/4052\/1299\/files\/ci9-gJOah7lwBmi5R3kKvVrg8KCHd6ENAg.png?v=1793209362","url":"https:\/\/www.voltmusicstore.com\/products\/akai-mpk-mini-plus-ii","provider":"Volt Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
