Review: Small hardware issue after a while . but rest all is gooood ! - I’ve been using the Akai MPK Mini for a few months now, and overall it’s a really good MIDI controller, especially for beginners and home producers. One of the best things is that it comes with some free plugins. The sound quality is honestly amazing for something bundled for free. Especially “Hype” & “Electric” For someone starting out, this is a huge bonus. The drum pads feel responsive, the 360° knobs are smooth, and overall the controller is very compact and easy to use. The only issue I faced after a few months is with one of the keys. Even after adjusting velocity settings, the last key doesn’t respond properly to soft or normal taps. I have to press it very hard for it to trigger sound. That’s been a bit disappointing. Other than that, everything works great and it’s still a solid product for the price. Overall, a very good MIDI controller with excellent bundled sounds, just wish the key durability was slightly better.
