Akai MPK Mini 4 MIDI Keyboard in Black
The Akai MPK Mini IV builds on the legacy of the hugely popular MPK Mini MK3, introducing a range of upgrades that make it an even more powerful and versatile creative tool. While the MK3 set the standard with its improved keybed and intuitive workflow, the MK4 takes performance, control, and integration further, ensuring it remains the benchmark for compact MIDI controllers. The MPK Mini IV features a newly refined, industry-leading keybed for superior playability, along with real Pitch and Mod wheels that provide more precise control than the MK3’s four-way joystick. A vibrant full colour screen replaces the smaller OLED, offering clearer visual feedback and streamlined navigation. The upgraded RGB backlit MPC pads are now brighter and more responsive, enhancing beat-making and live performance capabilities. With expanded transport controls, seamless DAW mapping, and an enhanced arpeggiator with Pattern, Freeze, and Mutate functions, the MK4 offers deeper creative exploration than its predecessor. Crucially, connectivity has been improved with USB-C and a full-size MIDI output, making integration with external hardware and modern devices effortless. Paired with a collection of 1,000 professional sounds from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog, the MPK Mini IV not only improves upon the MK3’s portability and workflow but also redefines what a compact controller can deliver for musicians, producers, and performers alike.

Eight rotary knobs remain at the heart of the interface but are complemented by expanded transport functions, giving users uninterrupted workflows directly within their DAW.
