    5.0 out of 5 stars A fine upgrade that beats the mpk mini 3
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023
    I can fit both hands on this 37 keyed midi controller that I've been using with Ableton Live . The stop and play, rewind ,etc.buttons make it easy to record with. The knobs go all the way around. The pads feel good ,they have 2 banks and several functions and the action on the keys is just right. There's a sequencer on there and it's capable of hooking up to synthesizers and drum machines with 5 pin in/out/USB/3.55mm but I haven't got that far with her yet but I will. The downside is there's not much literature on the mpk plus so good luck with that ,just a smattering of YouTube videos and some Reddit articles. Overall, I got it at a fair price and it's fun to play even though I haven't figured the whole thing out yet . I bought it to replace my Akai mpk mini 3 and I'm glad I got the mpk plus instead. I like it much better . It's more diverse and you can do more with it in a lot of different ways and it's still compact enough that it won't take up much room in your studio. Plus it's compatible with pretty much every DAW out there. So,if I were you and I needed a keyboard controller then I'd get this one because that's what I did. 😁

    5.0 out of 5 stars EAST TO INSTALL AND JUST WORKS!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2023
    I’m a gtr player. Haven’t done MIDI in years but needed to drive my drum software (EZ Drummer) and just needed something inexpensive and compact to use with Studio One. I originally bought a Novation Launchpad. I spent 2 solid days trying to get it to work. All I can say is what a P.O.S. Hours spent on this useless device that I’ll never get back! So I took a chance on the Akai. Installed and worked perfectly right from the start. The keys were a little smaller than I expected but the Pads are Perfect! The feel is steller and they are just what I needed to program drums. And at $99, what’s not to like?
