Pros & Cons

Pros

Mpk mini mpk3 works flawlessly with the included software download links. Has 8 mpc drum pads 25 keys 8 knobs thumb stick to control bending and modulation of notes. its a midi controller. Good beginner tool though for sure.

Easy to use and to travel with. Even in an airport lounge. Being portable is handy for those on the go or within a small studio workspace. Construction is meh plastic, it's nothing special, but it works.

Good bang for your buck. They are thrilled.

Cons

Zero helpful tutorials from akai, and rarely any other helpful tutorials online. The foundation software reads 2014! Only way this could work is if akai updated their software.

There is half an inch of overhang on each key. The keys action is very stiff. The nobs on the side are just for decoration.
