## Description

Product Description               The Akai Professional MPK25 is a portable keyboard controller with MPC production controls. Based closely on the MPK49, the first keyboard ever to feature MPC pads, the MPK25 scales down the keyboard by 24 keys and retains the utility, capability, and flexibility that makes the MPK49 one of the world's hottest keyboards. Its smaller, more portable size makes the MPK25 the perfect travel companion. Its small footprint can fit in your lap on the couch or on a plane, enabling you to create tracks whenever inspiration strikes. All you need is your laptop and the MPK25.

Powerful production tools at your fingertips. MPK25's keyboard is semi-weighted and features aftertouch for expressive melodic control. The MPC pads are pressure- and velocity-sensitive to capture every nuance of your creative concepts. Plus, the pads have 4 banks, giving you instant access to 48 samples, sounds, or launch events—it's up to you.

And you can control two different parameters per Q-Link thanks to the knobs' dual-bank selection.Classic MPC TechnologyExperience MPC Note Repeat and MPC Swing, two iconic note-modifying technologies pioneered by Akai Professional. With MPC Note Repeat you can automatically play a rhythm pattern on MPK25's MPC pads. MPC Swing allows you to turn computerized, perfectly aligned sequences into beats with a human, rhythmic feel.

    Soo satisfied! should've invested in this sooner
  

*by O***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 2, 2015*

I've never tried the Akai brand, and I'm new to building my own midi studio (though I've worked in one for school time ago) so I have a mediocre understanding of how everything works but no setting up myself. This midi keyboard works like magic and is everything I could ask for for the price and convenience. Truly plug and play, bus powered and realistic feeling enough for what it's for (and how it is priced). In used to playing my Roland Fantom xa which is a nifty keyboard/workstation with 64 keys (non-weighted)  and a drum pad (plastic and weak) so this is a nice step up (minus the loss of playable keys, but I can work around it for how I record). The modulator wheel allows certain sounds in your drum kit to have a realistic approach (closed /open/ closing/opening hi hats) and I found it amazingly easy to set your knob effects and parameters (that is more software specific but looking at YouTube videos helped) I use mixcraft 7 and it is a perfect marriage so far! Even though my Roland is a 64-key workstation, I think my Akai will take it's place in most of my production due to the overall flexibility of the machine and the entire idea of the midi platform itself, it's just more comfy for me to edit my sounds and bring them to life with a midi controller, and this one has me in love!

    takes a bit to get used to. pads are USELESS without modification
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2010*

The keyboard, and controlling software is great. I really like Abelton Live after taking the tutorials! This comes with a older version of Abelton Live but it is a free download to get the latest version! Works great with my Macbook!The bad part is that the pads are not sensitive at all. I have to pound to the point of hurting my fingers to get any noise at all. And thats to get any noise.. these are supposed to have many pressure levels. I was severely disappointed by the pads until I found out you can modify them for better response. Follow instructions on youtube.Basically you can use layers of tape to put the pad in better contact with the sensor under it. The kits you can buy off ebay to do the same thing are little strips of rubber with instructions. I'd suggest saving some money by using the youtube video and finding the right thickness of rubber instead of using tape layers.After modification this surface is 100% what I wanted. Too bad it come from the factory so amazingly crippled!

    it is very sturdy. About a month after i got it
  

*by 1***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2015*

This is a phenomenal device. Not only does it do everything that i need plus more,  it is very sturdy. About a month after i got it, i accidentally left it in my outside studio, not knowing that it would rain. Well, needless to say, it did.  I ran back home hoping that it didn't get wet. Well, IT DID. It had so much water in it that i had to hold it up and drain it. I was devistated. But, the good ole mpk 25 never missed a beat, i plugged it back up the next day and its still going strong to this day with no problems.I was brand new to making beats and i knew absolutely nothing on how to get started But after playing with it and watching a few tutorials,  i started to see its capabilites and my imagination come to life. I debated on weather or not i should buy the mpk25 for months,  but i dont regret buying it at all, as a matter of fact, i would suggest that you make the purchase,  you won't regret it. I am highly pleased.
