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.

Yes, the MPK Mini Plus is a class-compliant, USB-MIDI keyboard. This means that instead of creating sound on its own, it will send MIDI messages to the software on your computer to generate sound and control your music production software.Once completed, a new window will appear to confirm that the update is complete. You can now close the updater application.

The Sequencer allows you to program a combination of notes and rhythms that can be sent to your DAW or hardware synths, MPC, or any other device that accepts midi.Restart the updater and try to connect the MPK mini Plus again. We recommend connecting the USB cable to your computer first, and then connecting the other end to your MPK mini Plus while holding the SHIFT and PROG SELECT buttons. Be sure to continue holding these buttons until the MPK mini Plus powers on and you see the firmware version on the display.
