Great for beginners, just what the doctor ordered

Great for beginners, just what the doctor ordered. Midi controller with decent on board sounds. Easy to get started but gets better as you figure out how to use it to its fullest. And small enough to stick in a backpack. I've got mine hooked up to my Galaxy Tab and can basically play anywhere. Noodleling is king with this thing. Play and create.

Great, even as a starter synth for a 5 year old

Bought this for my 5 year old niece to see if she likes piano or synths. She loves it! It’s great that it’s battery, has speakers, has knobs, and a drum pad.The first one I got had a broken key (wouldn’t trigger) so I had to go through the return process but that must have been a fluke. I also wish the drums were louder on the internal speaker. They’re weirdly quiet unless you turn off the touch sensitiveness

So close to perfect

Really awesome! Just wish it a) had full sized keys and b) using anything other than usb type-c (it has the usb printer cable port) in 2025 is kinda pathetic, and super duper annoying. Bought a printer to type c cable and it works fine, but should've been able to use on of the many, many type c to type c cables I already owned. That being said, it has a speaker and built in synths while being midi compatible, so I really do like the thing, great for duolingo

Buy it!

I love it. I have had mine for around for a year and half at this point and I play it all the time. It's great to have around, and perfect for travelling! My advice.... Buy it!

Hubby loves it

Bought this for my husband and I to get our creative juices going anytime. He brings it even on road trips and we enjoy ourselves. If only the volume was a tad bit louder but overall it’s a great buy for the price. Probably can’t be beat at this price point.

Well thought out, extremely portable

This MPK Mini Play MK3 is tiny and fits in my small overnight duffel along with a sustain pedal and stereo monitors (plus clothes and travel stuff)... amazing.I've owned many expensive full-size keyboards (like RD2000), and the synth sounds from this AKAI are surprisingly good and a reasonable General MIDI selection. Pianos, E-pianos, clav and harpsi are all good; organs are limited; basses are fine; string ensembles good but violin/viola not useful to me, drums are adequate, etc. The reverb is nice. The drum pads work while the keys are being played, so we've had two people playing on this tiny device... very fun. The keys are velocity sensitive (not weighted) and work fine for a 2-pound instrument. The joystick is very clever: push left to modulate volume (fade in, or volume dips for brass), right for vibrato, up and down for pitch shift.The octave transpose is essential (get the bass into the right register, get to the high strings) and designed just right. Too bad there isn't a chromatic transpose: for such a short keyboard, it would be nice to transpose on a song-by-song basis so we get the most of the keys that are here.The sustain pedal I like is item B08NSZFGC1, labeled Sovvid for $13. It works perfectly and is extremely lightweight. Most of my sustain pedals are very heavy, which is great for staying in place on stage but for travel this one is ideal. It is even lighter than a small footswitch. And it works with both electrical standards (normally open / normally closed).The lightweight speakers I carry are item B09PFGJ94L, Pyle 5.25" woofer 2-way active, though many other models (including active PC speakers with subwoofer) would work fine. Rated 300 watts (skeptica), these are plenty loud enough for a living room and they sound fine (but lacking deep powerful bass, as expected). Plug in the AKAI keyboard with a 3.5mm 15-ft stereo cable like Startech item B004G3WCNK $8. These Pyle speakers need a length of 2-conductor speaker or lamp cord to connect the passive speaker to the active one. In a pinch, the AKAI keyboard could be connected to a television analog audio input. The keyboard itself has a tiny speaker, but it's very limited.
