Just open the inMusic Software Manager to access your software and installers at any time! I bought this to go with the MPC One. They match well. Having 3 octaves on the desktop is really handy and the keybed plays well. The smaller keys are big enough for me. The built in chords and arpeggiator are easy to use. The screen is tiny but clear at any angle. A good device. Boss has delivered the RE-201 Space Echo and BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble preamps in a single pedal for the BP-1W booster This is simply because this keyboard has the perfect amount of 37 keys for me, just like the MicroKEY and the iRig Keys 2 but it is an extra bit smaller,

When Chords mode multiple notes will be played with a single key press. Scales mode will set the keybed to play only within a certain scale. Absolutely! Just like it's predecessor, The MPK Mini Plus is compatible with virtually any DAW or music production software that will work with USB/MIDI keyboards, and even included mapping presets for many popular DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, and Garageband. Please refer to your DAW's documentation for more information on how to interface an external controller with the software. Close all Audio and MIDI software while running the update. The updater may not be able to locate your MPK mini Plus if another application is connected, or trying to connect to it. Incorporating the same keybed from the MPK Mini, the MPK Mini Plus enhances this expressive design with the addition of dedicated Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels. Providing added expression for both live performances and studio sessions, the inclusion of the wheels expands your sonic palette, allowing you to make on-the-fly changes to timbre and pitch. The Gen 2 keybed has been optimised to capture every nuance of your performance, providing maximum expression for highly accurate articulation.

When Master is enabled, MIDI data from this port will always go to the currently selected program in your project. The MPC Pads are an example of a device that is always set to Master. from SoCal on February 1, 2023 Rated 5/5 I love this midi controller. Great when paired with a newer model MPC! Very complicated to use at first. Needs a simple first use guide. Because its new out not a lot of help on the web either.To put this review in perspective, I own a few midi controllers which I bought when having mobility in mind. I own the MPK Mini MK1, I own an IK Multimedia iRig Keys 49 (version) 2, I own the Korg MicroKEY 37 MK2 and an MPC Studio MK2. AKAI’s MPK Mini family has found fans with a diverse range of musicians and producers from those needing to play and program on the move to those who just don’t want their gear taking up lots of space. The MPK Mini Plus expands on the Mini and Mini PLAY in a number of ways, the most obvious being its larger keyboard, fitting in 37 mini keys to their 25. But it’s also a much more expansive controller, with a bunch more ports and its own onboard sequencer making it capable of standalone MIDI and CV triggering as well as working with computer-based software. So what’s new? After installing the application, find and open the iLok License Manager from your Programs or Applications folder.

The MPC Beats Installer will automatically open. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the installation. The MPK mini mk3 comes with 3 AIR plugins that can be installed directly from the MPK mini Software Manager. These virtual instruments are a great way to expand your melodic ideas. Take the USB cable for your MPK mini Plus and connect it to your computer, but do not connect the MPK mini Plus yet - we'll do this in the next step. If you plan to play some Chopin this is not the keybed for you. You will want something that closer resembles a piano. But you need more than 37 keys for that anyway. Solution home Akai Pro | MPK mini Series MPK Mini Series | MPK Mini Plus Akai Pro MPK mini Plus | Frequently Asked QuestionsSomething else that’s new is proper pitch bend and mod wheels – AKAI is selling this as a performance keyboard, so tactile wheels are a great addition. The keyboard is more accomplished than the unit’s size might suggest, too. There are 37 mini keys which use a ‘2nd gen’ dynamic keybed. These are surprisingly pleasant to play, reacting well even to more complex playing styles. It’s certainly light years ahead of what you used to get from small keys and feels like you’re sacrificing far less now when trading off portability for responsiveness. There’s 3 full octaves meaning two-handed chord playing is a reality, plus of course easy transposition as well as scale and chord modes that let you program chords to single notes and also ensure you never play an off-key note. If your main goal for using the editor is to set up the keyboard with MPC Beats, look no further! For most users, simply hold down the Favorites buttonand press Pad 1to select the MPC Beats preset. This will line up the pads in MPC Beats accordingly: As described above, you will need to hold the SHIFT and PROG SELECT buttons while connecting the USB cable to your MPK mini Plus. Continue holding the buttons until the USB cable is completely connected to the MPK mini and your computer, and the MPK mini Plus powers on. That’s a pretty comprehensive spec list, and one that would seem to put the MPK Mini Plus in direct competition with Arturia’s popular KeyStep 37 controller.
