AKAI MPK mini plus 37｜Portable 37-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller

A 37-key MIDI keyboard controller that balances creation, arrangement, and live control

The AKAI MPK mini plus 37 is a 37-key MIDI keyboard controller from AKAI. It features a Gen 2 keybed, 8 RGB-backlit pads, 8 assignable knobs, a polyphonic step sequencer, and USB / 5-pin MIDI / CV-Gate connectivity, making it suitable for computer-based production, hardware synthesizer control, and mobile music creation.

Compared with traditional 25-key mini controllers, the MPK mini plus 37 offers a more complete 37-key keyboard controller layout for more natural two-handed chords, melodic runs, and split-zone performance. Compared with entry-level MIDI controllers in its class, its advantages include dedicated transport controls, polyphonic sequencing, and external device integration, giving creators who need a USB MIDI keyboard and a modular workflow more flexibility.

Who is the AKAI MPK mini plus for?

使用者建議分析(點此展開)

▼

適合誰購買

Mobile music producers who need more playing space than 25 keys, while still wanting a controller that fits in a backpack
Home production creators who want one controller to handle DAW control, drum programming, melody writing, and transport functions, reducing mouse use
Users of hardware synthesizers or modular gear who need USB, 5-pin MIDI, and CV/Gate connections to build a hybrid workflow

誰不適合購買

Users who already own a full-size 49-key or larger master keyboard and mainly need piano-style two-handed performance may see limited improvement
Users who only want the most basic, lowest-budget entry-level controller and have no need for a sequencer, CV/Gate, or external integration

Core technologies and features of the AKAI MPK mini plus

37-key Gen 2 keybed：Provides over 3 octaves of playing range. Compared with common 25-key controllers, it is better suited to two-handed chords, bass lines, leads, and simple split-zone performance, balancing portability and practicality.
USB Class-compliant design：Can be used directly as a USB MIDI controller. When connected to a computer, it requires no complicated setup and integrates quickly with mainstream DAWs and VST workflows.
5-pin MIDI and CV/Gate I/O：Not only controls software instruments, but also works with external synthesizers, drum machines, modular systems, and other compatible hardware to create a hybrid software-hardware production environment.
8 RGB-backlit pads：Can be used for finger drumming, triggering samples, loops, clips, or MIDI commands. Visual identification is clearer, making live performance and arrangement more intuitive.
8 assignable knobs：Can map to volume, filters, envelopes, effect parameters, or mix controls, improving real-time sound shaping and automation writing efficiency.
Polyphonic step sequencer：Built-in polyphonic step sequencer lets you quickly create rhythms, chords, and melodic phrases, especially useful for capturing ideas on the go and mouse-free workflows.
Pitch and Mod wheels：Compared with the touch-strip designs found on some mini controllers, physical wheels make pitch bends, vibrato, and expression control more precise.
4-way joystick control：The classic joystick can be used for creative parameter control and expressive changes, ideal for experimental sound design and live modulation.
Dedicated transport controls：Includes Start, Stop, Record, Loop, and Locator buttons, allowing direct control of recording and playback and reducing reliance on the computer keyboard and mouse.
Standalone operation mode：Supports standalone operation compatible, extending beyond a computer-only workflow in certain scenarios and increasing flexibility for hardware performance and external device control.
Compact, portable body：The unit fits into most backpacks or gig bags, making it especially friendly for touring musicians, mobile workers, and café creators.
Bundled software for a fast start：Includes MPC Beats, so you can quickly begin beat-making, arranging, and sketching music after unboxing, which is very practical for beginners and users who need to get started fast.

37-key Gen 2 keybed playing experience

The 37-key layout provides a more complete range than a 25-key mini controller, making chord voicings, two-handed arrangements, and melody playing feel more natural.
Built-in octave switching lets you cover a wider pitch range within a compact body, improving efficiency for travel and desktop workstation use.

8 RGB-backlit pads and real-time rhythm control

The 8 pads can quickly trigger drum kits, samples, loops, and MIDI commands, ideal for finger drumming and live clip triggering.
RGB backlighting helps identify different sounds, banks, or trigger states, reducing accidental hits during performance and arrangement.

Polyphonic step sequencer and creative workflow

The built-in polyphonic step sequencer lets you quickly record chords, melodies, and rhythmic motifs, making it easy to build drafts as inspiration strikes.
For users who prefer a hardware-style workflow, it reduces mouse editing time and improves continuity between creation and performance.

USB, MIDI, and CV/Gate external integration

You can control DAWs, VSTs, and software instruments over USB, and also sync performance and send control signals to external hardware via 5-pin MIDI.
CV/Gate I/O turns the MPK mini plus 37 into more than just a computer peripheral; it can also become the control core of modular synthesizers and external hardware systems.

Transport controls, knobs, and expression control design

The 8 assignable knobs can be mapped directly to mixer, effects, and synthesizer parameters, making real-time sound shaping and automation control easier.
Pitch / Mod wheels, the 4-way joystick, and buttons such as Start, Stop, Record, Loop, and Locator make recording and live performance smoother and more intuitive.
