Review: I so love it! - I so love it! Construction is a bit industrial. It does not really have an on/off switch, have to toggle the USB/battery switch and pull the USB cable out. MPC beats and other free stuff is quite nice, insanely intriguing and difficult to configure but full of promise. I'm a total novice but chucked it in my laptop bag and went off to Spain for a week where I tinkered with it quite a bit, love the portability. The included Melodics training is just their usual free stuff with a 5 minute a day limit so quite frustrating, feel Akai could have made a bit of a better deal with them.
Review: Amazing sounds - Powerful little keyboard. I use it for backing track recordings and it's spot on for the job. Amazing realistic sounds.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with vip 3 like other akai controllers?**
A: yes. VIP and AIR Hybrid and SONiVOX Wobble and REASON LITE .

**Q: Is it possible to connect this to an ipad for use with garageband?**
A: I use an adapter that goes from Lightning to USB & 3.5mm out, so I can plug in my controller and speakers/headphones.  The same adapter also has a lightning input for charging.  Works great with Garageband for iOS.  I now even connect a wireless bluetooth keyboard to use garageband for iOS keyboard shortcuts (just like on Mac).

**Q: We need to purchase a laptop for this which will also be used for homework. Does this have minimum spec requirements? We don’t have a huge budget**
A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! MPK Mini Play is designed for operation with any Windows or Mac OS laptop featuring 4GB RAM and a Dual-Core i5 2.5GHz CPU or higher.

**Q: I heard that the sounds are not great. are the build in drums equal or better than MPX8 and good enough for performance with a looper?**
A: The MPK Mini is a fabulous tool, I run mine through a Boss RC-202 Looper, connected to a fab sound system, your only limitations will be your own imagination. Have Fun.

Powerful little keyboard. I use it for backing track recordings and it's spot on for the job. Amazing realistic sounds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fun
*by B***D on 25 January 2026*

I love this. Running it through an amp bumps the sound to way beyond the built-in speaker (obviously). There is plenty to discover. I'm not an expert so check out the reviews on YouTube. Lots of fun and I haven't checked out the midi side yet. Great value too.Enjoy!
