The Akai Professional MPK Mini IV is a compact MIDI controller designed for modern music creators who need portability without compromise. This versatile creative tool is packed with pro-level features, intuitive controls, and endless inspiration for any style or flow.
Featuring an upgraded, third-generation industry-leading keybed, real pitch and modulation wheels, and eight velocity-sensitive and pressure-sensitive RGB-backlit MPC pads, it offers an expressive playing experience in a portable package.
A vibrant full-color screen, eight assignable knobs, and an expanded transport section provide hands-on control, while advanced performance tools like Scale and Chord modes and an enhanced arpeggiator with Pattern, Freeze, and Mutate functions make way for new creative possibilities.
This convenient controller also includes the brand-new Studio Instrument Collection, a powerful software synth available exclusively for MPK Mini IV. It comes with over 1,000 professionally designed presets from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog for instant inspiration. Pre-mapped with 1-to-1 controls, it's easy and immediate to navigate through this massive library of sounds using only the MPK Mini IV - no mouse needed.
With USB-C connectivity, a full-size MIDI output, and plug-and-play integration with major DAWs (Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Bitwig, and Cubase), MPK Mini IV is a flexible studio companion for the next generation of creatives.
