Review: Great portable synth. - I love it! Great to use as a midi keyboard and also the on-board sounds are good (a bit standard, but good) It's a shame I didn't get the one with a bigger keyboard because playing is limited to 2 octaves. I would recommend this to anyone interested in making music on the go. Another good feature is the USB power which saves a lot of messing about when connecting to a computer. Comes with a host of free software so you can be making hit records instantly!
Review: Amazing sounds - Powerful little keyboard. I use it for backing track recordings and it's spot on for the job. Amazing realistic sounds.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with vip 3 like other akai controllers?**
A: yes. VIP and AIR Hybrid and SONiVOX Wobble and REASON LITE .

**Q: Is it possible to connect this to an ipad for use with garageband?**
A: I use an adapter that goes from Lightning to USB & 3.5mm out, so I can plug in my controller and speakers/headphones.  The same adapter also has a lightning input for charging.  Works great with Garageband for iOS.  I now even connect a wireless bluetooth keyboard to use garageband for iOS keyboard shortcuts (just like on Mac).

**Q: We need to purchase a laptop for this which will also be used for homework. Does this have minimum spec requirements? We don’t have a huge budget**
A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! MPK Mini Play is designed for operation with any Windows or Mac OS laptop featuring 4GB RAM and a Dual-Core i5 2.5GHz CPU or higher.

**Q: I heard that the sounds are not great. are the build in drums equal or better than MPX8 and good enough for performance with a looper?**
A: The MPK Mini is a fabulous tool, I run mine through a Boss RC-202 Looper, connected to a fab sound system, your only limitations will be your own imagination. Have Fun.
