A true icon of mobile studios, the MPK Mini IV continues a lineage that defined the standard for the compact master keyboard. This version deeply modernizes ergonomics: widened keys, dedicated wheels replacing the joystick, and a color display for immediate feedback. Available in black or retro gray, it becomes the new premium entry point of the Akai range.
Designed for beatmakers, producers, and mobile creators, the MPK Mini IV excels in in-the-box production, quick idea composition, and lightweight live performance. Its compact form fits any home studio setup or backpack, while offering essential controls to capture inspiration without a mouse or menus.
The new 25-key velocity-sensitive mechanism offers improved responsiveness and fine nuance control. The pitch and modulation wheels provide continuous, musical variations, ideal for leads and pads.
The 8 RGB MPC pads (2 banks) respond to velocity and pressure for precise finger-drumming. The advanced arpeggiator with Pattern, Freeze, and Mutate functions, combined with Scale and Chord modes, accelerates the writing of melodic and harmonic patterns without mistakes.
The color display, 8 assignable encoders, and dedicated transport section ensure direct control of tracks, plugins, and automation. Provided scripts for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Bitwig, and Cubase simplify setup.
The "Studio Instrument Collection" gathers over 1,000 sounds from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog, pre-mapped for instant control. With USB-C for power and data, and a 5-pin MIDI DIN output, the MPK Mini IV communicates seamlessly with both your computer and external synths.
