Can you play the the internal sounds in a daw (logic pro x) just via the USB midi cord? Or do you need an audio interface to get the sounds built into the akai to to play on your laptop/daw?
Only Akai has a midi keyboard with built-in sounds hope to see Arturia make a midi keyboard with built-in sounds as well in my opinion I prefer the mk3 version of this cause it has the MPC pads as well as a larger speaker
I have been looking for a small keyboard for a long time, to be able to play live, together with another instrument, and without having to use additional software, I think I found what I was looking for
I'm building up around my volcas and it's really a bummer that all these budget keyboards don't have a 5pin output. I guess my best bet would be arturia keystep. Cool video broski
Wow, thank you so much, exactly what I'm looking for, comparing these two mini play side by side, and the only such video I can find. It really helps. As the price diff between the two is $50, and , and there's also other option out there with 32 key MIDI controller with sound, yet all very expensive, your video really helps shading some lights. Thanks a lot! 🙏🙏
The mpk mini play mkII does come with velvet, grandpiano and hybrid aswell. It’s basically the same thing just louder and I heard the new one has A sequencer and you can control the BPM plus the note repeat for the Pads.
This would be a great edition to my mini studio that i wanna start. Edward thanks a-lot for alway sharing your knowledge and trying to help God bless .
Uh, I just registered a Mini Play MkII that I just bought used and it did indeed give me licenses for Hybrid 3, Mini Grand, and Velvet. MPC Beats is free for anyone to download to begin with (and I highly recommend doing so, it's great).
I have been saving up to get one of the akai mpk mini or the worlde mini tuna depending on how much I will be able to save up, but this review came at the right time, I think I'll keep saving hopefully I should have been able to save up for it by next year.
speaker quality itself would worth the 15 USD difference our local distributor asks. on the other hand build-in sounds are so general quality comparable with any cheap app /sf2
Hey Edward, do you think maybe you could do a microphone comparison for best rapping microphone? Maybe include ones that sound a lot better when you yell into them
Edward helps me make the best choice when Im budgeting for new equipment. He helped me so much when I was looking for a good budget mic. But now I'm actually looking into saving to get a midi keyboard and this is very helpful
I have a question: Do this keyboard have a "glide" (portamento) function ? I searched for some small monophonic synthesizers with built-in speakers like the 80's Yamaha CS-01 and couldn't find much models, so I found this one along with the Korg Monotron
Hey have you heard when arteria is coming out with the minifuse 4 I know its listed on sweetwater but they havent gotten there first shipment in yet and they dont know when they get them or how much they will but the uk already has them available and its 218 plus tax and shipping from one country to another but I'm figuring it wont be much price difference once it's available over here

Excellent comparison video. One of my favs from your channel so far!
Hey Sanjay!!! Thanks man!! Appreciate it 🙏🏻

It's nice to see an upgrade for this.. Hope that arturia minilab will have a ver.3 soon
Thanks for the review of this. I've been considering an upgrade to a smaller sized midi keyboard and this looks ideal.
I have been looking for a small keyboard for a long time, to be able to play live, together with another instrument, and without having to use additional software, I think I found what I was looking for
Thank you for the chance to win one of these. This is def one of my next upgrades to my studio as I don't have one at all. Here's hoping! Thanks ☺️
Guessing the "raised angle" also helps to see the LED screen display bar (I suck at actual names)

actually waited for your review. thanks!

Thanks for watching! I’m glad it helped 💪🏻

If I understood correctly, the big difference regarding the sounds is the volume. But is the quality of the instrument tones the same?
Mk2 included ProTools first (with a sw instrument), and Wobble 3 also( which has crashed my computer). my favourite SW is free ( MPC beats)
I was about to obtain one of those. Now I know that it's definitely worth it! Thanks man
Thanks for the Video Smith.
Quick on the draw!!! Thanks bro! 🙌🏼🔥
Thanks for watching!!

Awesome comparison, yet again!
Glad you liked it!

Hello, Edward, Love the videos 💪🏼😎
👆👆Congratulations you have been selected among our shortlisted winner
Great review
Dope content as asual
The Akai MPK Mini Play Mk3 is a great Synthesizer for beginners, especially if they don't have a laptop/pc like me.
I have been saving up to get one of the akai mpk mini or the worlde mini tuna depending on how much I will be able to save up, but this review came at the right time, I think I'll keep saving hopefully I should have been able to save up for it by next year.
i would love to get one tbh and they do seem really nice but i guess i will wait for arturia to come with something new
The memory sounds are the same
The between both?
Another great comparison...
Thanks!!
speaker quality itself would worth the 15 USD difference our local distributor asks. on the other hand build-in sounds are so general quality comparable with any cheap app /sf2
The Full Level button only works for the pads or does it work for the keyboard also ?
Yooo! Would love to win this. Great vid!
Great review, thanks! 👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great Demo! Thanks!
Hey Edward, do you think maybe you could do a microphone comparison for best rapping microphone? Maybe include ones that sound a lot better when you yell into them
Great suggestion! I’ll see what I can do in future 💪🏻
I love this device and it's even better now

That's the video for mekars ❤️🔥
I'm liking that 3 🔥
Спасибо огромное! Единственное видео, где нашёл сравнение между ними!
so does the play version only come in the red color?
Can you use the drum pads on battery mode?
Yes you can 💪🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank you
Great vid - Can you assign a whole chord to the pad?
Edward helps me make the best choice when Im budgeting for new equipment. He helped me so much when I was looking for a good budget mic. But now I'm actually looking into saving to get a midi keyboard and this is very helpful
Thanks man!!
I need a mic, but I don’t know which one, what worked for you?
@@dudevro6091 I use the Samson C01
Nice upgrade :)
So happy I just bought one
😀 I was the 1K like on your video 🥳
Thanks for your comparison on these keys!
I have a question: Do this keyboard have a "glide" (portamento) function ? I searched for some small monophonic synthesizers with built-in speakers like the 80's Yamaha CS-01 and couldn't find much models, so I found this one along with the Korg Monotron
Man those keyboards are cool 👍😎.
Can I loop on this without my laptop please??? I need answers bro. 🙏🏾
no one says the play keyboard is more responsive than the mk3 one. playing the piano on play3 does not delay and does not require too much pressure.
Hey have you heard when arteria is coming out with the minifuse 4 I know its listed on sweetwater but they havent gotten there first shipment in yet and they dont know when they get them or how much they will but the uk already has them available and its 218 plus tax and shipping from one country to another but I'm figuring it wont be much price difference once it's available over here
When is this available
where to get akai mini mk2 keyboard?
I went to Sweetwater and all they had was the old version, I like to know what people are are saying about this mini keyboard.
Are you still giving away the prises?
If I happin to get picked can I just pay you for your help or assistance ?
Mini or mini play ?
Mpk mini Plus is better and more worth the money imo
Amazing🥰
MK3! Calling it!
love your video
Thank you!!
Can you use the mpk225 with the apollo twin duo usb WithOut the midi in and out
This video was needed 😎.
Letsgooo GANG💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 .
GREAT PRODUCT. i HAVE ONE AND AN ARTURIA MINILAB. LOVE THEM BOTH.
When I am in trouble I sneak my phone and watch your video's
Haha thanks 🙏🏻
3:05 is where the magic happens
mk2 needed 3 batteries, and showed low power very soon if used with speaker and drum sounds
Thanks
I want them to go back to the actual mod and I think velocity wheels. Either way hate the joystick.

Congrats you have been selected among shortlisted winners W=h=a=t-s-A=p=p........
the MK2 volume is barely audible if it’s not completely silent, don’t get it if you want to use it as a little synth without speakers or headphones !!
🤩🤩🤩
❤️🔥✌️
💯
I like it🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I just put my thumb's up into this video. Remember me, please.
Ang ganda 😍
looking at gettin one of these..hmmmm
i have been waiting 9 months to be the 1000th person to like this video but its a long chess game. i should have boughten one already..

💗🤙

$150 is hard to save up for when you don't have a job 🙁.
Life is hard in general with no job. May need one of those lol.
I hope I win
1:14 sound crap 😂
😄😄😄😄😄
Nope!
You don't need to undermine the older version purposely like that just to advertise for the new one!!
Dit sal my Baie help met my mesiek Om so mini keyboard te hê
These keyboard are only good for people who don’t play key’s because they’ll break eventually.
