There&#8217;s an abundance of options available in the 25-key category, but Akai remains a standout.<\/p>\n<h2>Akai Continues to Build on Its Legacy with the Mini Mk3<\/h2>\n<p>Not that they need to! Akai has been an industry-leading hi-fi and electronics brand since its founding in 1946. When the instruments division, Akai Professional, opened in 1984, the company started producing keyboards and eventually the famed MPC series samplers\/sequencers.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Akai Professional continues to develop the MPC line, alongside keyboards, controllers, drum machines, and more. Speaking of controllers, the legendary MPK Mini is one of the best-selling MIDI controllers ever. If you&#8217;re not familiar, the basis of the MPK Mini is a 25-key keyboard, eight MPC-style pads, eight knobs to adjust mapped parameters, and an iconic modulation joystick.<\/p>\n<p>With the Mini Mk3, Akai managed to take an already fantastic piece of gear and improve it. And let&#8217;s be honest\u2014it&#8217;s quite welcome when a brand truly refines their work rather than just renaming it or giving it fresh cosmetics!<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s New in the Akai MPK Mini Mk3?<\/h2>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53332 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2.jpg\" alt=\"Akai MPK Mini Mk3 MIDI Controller Review_2\" width=\"600\" height=\"375\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-80x50.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-320x200.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-272x170.jpg 272w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-40x25.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-160x100.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-544x340.jpg 544w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-16x10.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-480x300.jpg 480w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Akai-MPK-Mini-Mk3-MIDI-Controller-Review_2-385x241.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Hardware<\/h3>\n<p>One of the more obvious hardware additions is an OLED display showing various data like arpeggiator settings and more. It&#8217;s neat, if not a bit underwhelming, but at this price it&#8217;s definitely not a major disappointment.\u00a0Overall, the layout remains similar to the Mk2.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-midi-controller-for-logic-pro-x\/\">What Is the Best Midi Controller for Logic Pro X? (Top 5)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Infinity Pots<\/h3>\n<p>A super cool addition to the MPK Mini are what Akai calls Endless Knobs. In prior versions, the eight encoders could only travel so far in either direction, making parameter adjustment a little clunky. The Mk3 new rotary knobs spin infinitely so you can make fine adjustments easier than ever before.<\/p>\n<h3>Updated Keybed<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps one of the biggest changes to the MPK Mini is the new and improved keybed utilizing Akai&#8217;s Dynamic Gen 2 technology. Mini keys are totally hit or miss for most people. More often than not, they tend to feel cheap and unresponsive\u2014not like a proper keyboard at all. Some of that is expected in something miniaturized and very affordable, though.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the Akai MPK Mini Mk3&#8217;s keybed feels pretty awesome for something this small. It&#8217;s more responsive than it&#8217;s ever been, and the travel feels smoother and more refined. The keys are also velocity-sensitive to still capture a nuanced performance, even if the keys are not quite like a proper keyboard or piano.<\/p>\n<h3>A Newer, Sleek Design<\/h3>\n<p>While the overall design isn&#8217;t drastically different from previous iterations, the Mk3 has nice, clean lines and an overall &#8220;expensive&#8221; look and feel. One nice design improvement is moving the USB port from the side of the controller to the back; it&#8217;s a small move, but it could lead to potentially cleaner cabling. The presentation is easy and elegant\u2014just a touch above previous versions.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a final note: whoever at Akai decided to illuminate the text on the MPK made a phenomenal decision. It&#8217;s such a minute detail, but undoubtedly a step up.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does It Stack Up Against Previous Akai MPK Mini Models? (Is It Worth the Upgrade?)<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re currently sitting on a Mk2\u2014and you&#8217;re happy with it\u2014then you&#8217;re probably not clamoring to buy another. The Mk3 improved a lot over the Mk2, but it&#8217;s really only worth it if you really dislike what the earlier model has going on. If a better keybed, better pads, and better rotary knobs make sense to you, then the Akai MPK Mini Mk3 is absolutely worth it\u2014even if the Mk2 still has a lot of good going for it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/refuse-mulligan-review\/\">reFuse Mulligan Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/akai-professional-mpk249-review\/\">Akai Professional MPK249 Review: The Best Mid-Range MIDI Keyboard?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Akai MPK Mini Mk3 is one of the most popular choices for a quality, travel-size MIDI controller.
