    Akai Professional MPK Mini MKII LE Black | Black, Limited Edition 25-Key Portable USB MIDI Keyboard With 16 Backlit Performance-Ready Pads, 8-Assignable Q-Link Knobs & A 4-Way Thumbstick

    • I absolutely love making music on this MIDI controller
    • I chose this because of its popularity and price, however, installing and starting to make music is pretty difficult
    • There are tons of loops, kits, sounds plugins to get some great music of any genre created.
    • I still haven’t figured out how to use this, but it turns out you need to download a music program like Fruity Loops or something
    • This is quite good for what I use it for, making synthwave (check out buchty's SQL8 VST if you're writing synthwave, btw, amazing VST) and ambient music at home
    • As of right now I am pleased!!*music producer
    • It has really helped improved my music making skills, and the quality of my music
    • It's the perfect portable music tool!
    • I won't even mention the annoying background music you have to listen to as you follow an online video on how to install the software, etc.
    • now i am able to make better music with less efforts
    • Make amazing music with this mpk board
    • I'm mostly kidding about that last bit, but tools like this make it so much easier to record something that resembles respectable music.
    • It sounded like it would be something really cool for a beginner like me to use to record some cool music
    • He loves music and was hoping this would keep his hands
    • Follow ALL the guides to setup and you will be on your way to produce some awesome music!!
    • Makes amazing music with it
    • But keys are not like in a real piano - without proper pressure control, hard to press and you can't play complex music on it.
    • Music pros might love
    • I'll echo a lot of the other low ranking comments here - I bought this for my son, who loves electronic music, and plays piano, so I thought it would be right up his alley.
    • It's clear, neat, easy to use, and makes wonderful music out of many options I am so glad I got this
    • If you can tap out the melody of a song, you can essentially write beautiful music
    • Don't get me wrong, I like electronic music and getting to hit flashing pads as much as the other guy, but that was the
    • Not much setup and installation is needed to be able to use it with your favorite music software and it uses USB connection, which is what makes it convenient and user-friendly, allowing compatibility with different systems or platforms and quick installation
    • My teen son is a beginner with making music and loves it!
    • I highly recommend it for beginners getting started with music production like myself
    • Makes producing music much easier!
    • Im not a pro, but I tought having this kind of item can make music making much easier and kind of a more fun
    • The portability is excellent and I still primarily use this controller for recording — even at home — instead of my larger and better M-Audio controllers
    • Worked well until the C, D and A keys on the lower octave all stopped working across all platforms
