AKAI Professional MPK Mini IV 25-Key MIDI Controller (Black)

The Akai Professional MPK Mini IV is the next evolution of the popular portable keyboard controller, designed for traveling musicians, beatmakers, and desktop producers. With a completely refreshed look, expanded controls, and deeper software integration, the MPK Mini IV raises the standard for creative performance and production.

A newly engineered keybed codeveloped between Akai and Moog delivers a more natural feel and improved playability across its 25 velocity-sensitive synth-action mini keys. For expressive control, the MPK Mini IV replaces the thumbstick with dedicated pitch and modulation wheels, offering greater accuracy and hands-on performance. The RGB backlit MPC-style pads provide responsive beatmaking and triggering, now joined by dedicated transport controls for streamlined recording and playback.

A full-color display delivers real-time feedback, showing preset names, categories, and parameter values with one-to-one VST integration. Software workflow is expanded with support for AIR instruments, Native Instruments plug-ins, and popular third-party DAWs, all managed through intuitive control scripts. The updated arpeggiator introduces Pattern, Hold, and Mutate functions, while refreshed Scale and Chord modes inspire instant harmonic creativity.
For modern connectivity, the MPK Mini IV includes a USB-C port and a full-sized MIDI output, ensuring smooth integration with both studio gear and live setups. Bundled software and instrument libraries offer an immediate production tool kit, while the compact, redesigned chassis makes it easy to take your music anywhere.
