Akai is a name that ensures a combination of useable features, balanced pricing, and rugged reliability. If you&#8217;ve graduated from the ever-popular MPK Mini, then the next logical step is the MPK249. In this Akai MPK249 review, we&#8217;ll determine whether this is one of the optimal choices in an all-around MIDI controller.<\/p>\n<h2>The Akai Professional MPK249 Is One of the Most Popular Mid-Range MIDI Keyboards on the Market<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s true. There are a plethora of MIDI keyboards out there, and very few are as recognizable as anything Akai&#8217;s made. At a glance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i114863.net\/15g95D\">Akai MPK249<\/a> has 49 semi-weighted keys, 24 assignable knobs\/faders\/switches, 16 MPC pads with four banks for a total of 64, and comprehensive transport control for DAW integration.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a true plug-and-play controller powered via USB. Set up is as seamless or as complex as you&#8217;d like; hook it up and immediately start playing your virtual instruments, or take a deep dive into the included VIP software to map functions and more.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/akai-mpk-mini-mk3-review\/\">Akai MPK Mini Mk3 Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Notable Features<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve narrowed down some of our favorite aspects in this Akai MPK249 review. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<h3>Improved Keyboard Layout<\/h3>\n<p>49 keys is the sweetspot for MIDI controllers. You&#8217;ll find yourself using the octave up\/down control way less frequently than with a 25-key controller. Plus, the semi-weighted, full-sized keys add a nice, professional feel to an already well designed MIDI controller.<\/p>\n<h3>DAW Control Keypad<\/h3>\n<p>The MPK249 comes with a transport section that integrates with your DAW. That&#8217;s helpful when you&#8217;re trying to create an efficient workflow, so you don&#8217;t have to take your hands off the keyboard to grab the other (computer) keyboard to start playback or roll back a take to overdub.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/nord-stage-4-review\/\">Nord Stage 4 Review: The Ultimate Live Performance Keyboard<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Production Software<\/h3>\n<p>The Akai MPK249 also comes with a fleet of free software including Ableton Live Lite, Hybrid 3 by AIR, Sonivox Twist 2.0, MPC Beats, and Akai\u2019s own award-winning VIP 3.0 software for deep integration with your existing instruments and effects.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also an upgrade path available for MPC 2.0 software, which is a highly adaptive program that essentially allows you to control your whole entire recording process from the MPK itself.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Is the MPK249 Built for?<\/h2>\n<p>Beginners might be a little overwhelmed by the MPK249, both in form and cost. It&#8217;s not cheap at around 500 bucks, which will deter a big audience right away. It&#8217;s also not necessarily the most portable or compact device there is, especially when compared to something like the MPK Mini which is part of the series.<\/p>\n<p>Serious producers who want a nice desktop controller to live in their home studio will probably love the MPK249. The semi-weighted keys are a beautiful touch for true keyboardists, and the overall functionality means this controller was born to integrate into a studio setup.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion: The MPK249 Is a Studio Mainstay<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone shopping around for a mid-range MIDI keyboard would most likely be happy to land on the MPK249. It&#8217;s hard to imagine anything that it\u00a0<em>lacks<\/em>, at least in terms of how MIDI controllers are most frequently used. For our money, there&#8217;s no reason that the legendary Akai MPK series is going anywhere anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Akai MPK series is hands-down the number one choice for countless musicians and producers.
