Using your video to use my roommates akai mini in 2023!

glad I could help you out

Cool stuff
Hey I have a question, and nobody seems to be giving a straight answer. Can you run this synth through a guitar amp without GarageBand or a computer at all? I was thinking of buying it and then plugging it into a an amp the same way I would plug in a guitar to an amp (or into effects pedals run through to an amp), but I'm not sure if it's able to do that, or if any midi synth can for that matter. @@kkrex

Talented fellow, man. I did NOT miss the irony in the fact that I am learning this- something I've always wanted to learn since I was a kid, FROM a kid🍻
Great teacher. I wonder if he still does this.
I was thinking it, then YOU said it...I hope he still doing it😎👍
you young guy are the best explaining this stuff, got everything down in a single view.
thank you, glad I could help
With the claims of being the best review i have to review this review.
10/10
Man just what I was looking for. I’m 57 and getting mine this Xmas Thank You
hows it going now with it? Im picking up one today
@@1st48_chiraq2How's the mpk mini now? I'm excited to get into it after this video
Guy, thank you for showing us all there is to know about this mpk mini. No one has ever done this kind of review . You are the only one who has given us a thorough review so far.. I'm getting mine soon
Yo I just bought this because of you. AND IT'S FIRE, good thing I watched your video. Thank you for teaching me how to use it
no problem, have fun with it
Is it good Quality? I saw amazon review nd some r like kyes are to bad?
I have one but I don't know how to use it until I watched this video thanks for making the video ❤❤❤
i'm honestly so thankful i've found your channel few months ago! been watching you ever since - you've actually taught me how to make my first beat all by myself because previously i'd just put samples together and call it a day. i got this Akai because of you also lol. i hope you blow up asap, you're amazing at what you do, yet so humble and willing to share your knowledge with us. i'm even watching the commercials so u cat get ur coin. sending love from poland
5yrs after KKREX dropped this tutorial, it still is the best! Kudos to you fam for lacing the people with masterful game on the SRK Mini!
THANK YOU!!! You covered everything so in-depth, and didn't leave anything out! There were so many other reviews that didn't explain things thoroughly or missed so many buttons. Your explanation was clear too!
I’ve watched this video like 3 times now because I’m trying to learn how to use the mpk mini and I never watched all the way to the end to hear the beat - beat is dope!
Bruhhhh lol, glad you liked it
I was looking at the Akai bc I love making music, so I wanted to get something that could technically have many instruments in one. And this tutorial showed me that it is not as complicated as I had thought🤣
Thank you! I will be buying one of these now!!
yuhhhhhh, I'm glad I could help
Bought this used today without a manual and this taught me everything I needed to figure out the arpeggiator. Thanks!!
Got one of these arriving today. iMac and Garage band all ready to go. Ain’t got a clue how to use it but watching your tutorial has given me a great insight. Cheers
This was so in depth, i'm contemplating getting one. This has helped me decide further. Much thanks!
woww thanks man I tried to explain alot
Thanks for doing this, as a 73 year old pensioner I can now see what these keypoards can do gets you excited
Just wanted to say thanks, I've learned more in 10 mins watching your video than I have in the 3 days since buying the MPK mini plus.
Just got the mini mk3 and this was a massive help, even for an older product. Not much difference except in the layout of buttons. Super helpful, thanks dude!
Dude your videos have been so helpful. I'm 25 and a teacher and you have pretty much taught me everything I know so far about making beats I appreciate it! Could you do a video like this for GarageBand? I would like to know how to use GarageBand better through my mpk mini
This means sooo much thank you, and not sure if I'm going to do a Garageband tutorial because I feel like there are so many out there but who knows, thanks for the support
lollllllllllllllll you just made my day! and thank youuu I tried to make the tutorial as clear as I could so people would actually be able to benefit from the video and create great music for themselves. Glad you enjoyed it.
Brandon Becker yeah I'm with these guys, your smart as hell and need to do more with your talent than just UA-cam videos ( not to make you stop because I love them lol) im 28 and have been dabbling with beats since highscool but I must say u have me beat haha.. your very helpful and inquisitive, I think akai needs you on the team, real talk, thanks for all the help!! Your an inspiration to the people new to this stuff
wowww thanks this is crazy, and thanks for the support and don't worry I'm not quitting youtube anytime soon loll glad this was helpful
I just wanted to say that this is the best, number 1 video I have seen about this controller. I learned more in 5 minutes than in a year. Thanks!
I just ordered one of the special edition red one of these. I can't wait to get it and get it out of the box ! Looks so customizable and amazing .
I ordered one of these cant wait will be arriving soon as well.. what do u think about these products are they worth it?
@@mandontcare192 a bit Late but yes for sure
Thanks for the video. At first I was worried that this wouldn't be the best AKAI MPK MINI tutorial and review, but it turns out that this actually WAS the best AKAI MPK MINI tutorial and review.
Dude I appreciate the in depth method you took. I learned something extremely quickly. Appreciate it.
You absolute legend! I had no idea how half of these things were working! Thank you!
No problem
Thanks a lot for the in depth tutorial. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now I feel like I'm going to get the maximum use out of my MPK 🖖👽
for sureee
This is amazing, seriously my midi keyboard was just laying around and I learned more now than I have in any other video. Thank you!
Straight to the point instructional with no bs. Thank you so much!
planning to get myself an akai mpk mini, your vid is one of the best ive seen so far
thanks I hope you have fun with it
Very thorough and informative video! You do a great job of pronunciation and speaking clearly, as well as providing a slow, distinct, easy to follow tutorial. Keep making tutorials, you're great at it!
wowwww thank you that means a lot I appreciate it
dude, thanks so much. i'm also 53 and just got this to muck about with and now it's a lot clearer. much appreciated. peace!
Thanks for this. I'm an acoustic musician who's totally unfamiliar with midi and keyboards, and I was looking for something that would actually explain what the keys, pads, and buttons do, and how to use them. This was great! You explained everything really clearly. Still a lot to learn, but now I know how to start.
Young man, thank you for helping out and showing HOW TO USE IT, rather than just its features. I am now very very impressed with what it does for the price. And the beat you previewed at the end - love it! Beat-ify a classical piece of music!!!
This is exactly what I need in a tutorial. Thanks for making this video
Your video was AMAZING!! I learned so much. I was literally about to give up right before clicking on your video and now hope has been restored, thank you so much again. That beat at the end was fire, I'm going to watch that video now. Keep doing what you're doing.
I went through like 10 videos of this product to find a good one. This one told me everything I needed to know to buy.
I was smiling throughout the video because I just ordered akai
The more and more I look into and at this keyboard the more and more I find out about it
I'm hyping this for christmas
loll I hope you get it
Dankhis weedis Boihegus lmao same
Just got mine for Christmas
@@dustinvq37 yo how is it
How did it go?
this was really insightful, ive got mine coming tomorrow and you really explained it well enough for me to be even more excited. great video .
Thank you so much. I just got one of these and now I have a better understanding of what everything is doing.
I just got the Akai MPK mini 2 and I connected it to my iPad and I used garage band and it’s frickin awesome
yesss, I am glad to hear that
I actually got one of these for my bday a month ago because of you! Thank you so much for the recommendation dude!
+Madison Foshee no problem I hope you enjoy it as much as I do
Does it work with another computer thzn a mac
yes it does, you just need a music production software on that computer
can you tell me how big the keys are in cm? or mm?
they are like an inch in width, so 2.54cm
Thank you so much for this! Just got my MPK and I have been struggling to find videos that get to the point. Thank you so much for this!
best video ive seen in so freaking long man you earned your new subscriber dude thank you so much due to this video I will now purchase it Huge thumbs up
For those wondering to buy 🤔
I'd say its definitely worth the money! especially if you don't want to be intimated by all the knobs pads ect and don't know exactly how to play yet. I've had mine for about a month and I love it but ill admit when I get extra cash I definitely want one with more knobs to control fl studio fader ect you're able to with this one but as you become more fluent you start to notice things that could help you.
Ok cool, I’ll definitely buy it
Thank you so much for this video. I knew absolutely nothing about this lol. I will now be purchasing this for my son for Christmas :)
lol I'm glad I could help you out but, it needs to be plugged into a laptop with music production software on it such as garageband, fl studio, logic pro x, ableton etc, for it to work, just letting you know
I watched this video a month ago & decided to order one a couple weeks ago it just came in the mail yesterday (Christmas Eve) im enjoying it so far. Thanks for this awesome video!
I swear this is the best review I ever seen in my life
Thank you for the video. Thanks for covering stuff NOBODY else does. Good video.
Nice tutorial, finally learned about Full Level and Note Repeat!
One cool thing I found was that you can turn off Full Level and set Note Repeat to 1/32T. Then you can use the pressure on the pads to create a fade in/ fade out effect with your sample; works well with closed hats and rim shots. Bass kicks sound like a lawnmower.
ok thanks for the tips
Thank u for that and it
Very well written again thanks
How cool that you made this tutorial. I really needed it and learned a lot. Thank you.
Glad I could help
Very well done! Please show us what you're up to now since this is 6 yrs old! That sneak peek of your beat is fabulous but the looks on your face are precious! Your expressions clearly show how proud you are of your work and how amazing your creation is! I would love to see how far you've come since then! I'm a fan!
👵🙏❤️
I just bought one happy I found this video! It’s definitely gonna make my start a whole lot easier
Your the Man, good tune at the end.
3:55 sound just like the gameboy advance haha
Dang, your last name is even longer than mine👏👏👏
hehehheh
Yessss!
Well done
Travis K. That’s a Xbox 360
this makes me so excited for mines to come in. This is the best tutorial I've seen on this midi! tyyy
Great tutorial young man. It really helped. I've never used a MIDI. And, when I pulled it out of the box, I was a bit overwhelmed. lol Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks dude! This is probably the best mk2 beginner intro tutorial I've found on YT by far, just simple, thorough, and on task. 👌 I'm slowly learning how to create and produce, and I bought this mk2 a couple years ago, so I could have a way to create basic piano notes or melodies, connected it and started using it with LogicPro, but had to do a complete systems restructure for backup/production/redundancy hardware-wise in short. Watching your vid helped me realize that it still worked easily using GarageBand, but I can't seem to get it to plug and play with LogicPro the same way. Sooo, would you recommend any vids on the tech aspect of connecting and using the mk2 with Logic and what vids do you think are good explaining how to program the pads? I would appreciate your opinion... That brief snippet at the end of your tutorial was def fire too...🤙
almost gave up on the device, and then this saved me. Thanks a lot bro
Glad I could help
Thanks a million Bro. God bless your hustle with riches , stay humble 🙏🏾 🇿🇦
Thanks, God bless you too
Thanks man, I bought this thing awhile ago and never bothered trying to use it, that made things clear enough that I’m actually getting some use out of it now….
Just got my apk - great vid bro! Thanks!
yuhhhh, have fun with it
Android apk file?
@@kkrex i don't have it
what kind of apk. can you pls tell us? i mean what is the name of the apk?
@@IMkayh he meant "mpk"
thank you so much bro! you are actually super helpful!
Im glad, I tried to make it as helpful as possible
i always watch your videos because i just ordered the akai and wanted to know how to use it. you have amazing uploads. please upload mooore!
Thanks bro. You nailed it off the rip. Everyone else skipps strait to the software. Glad you're here
It's 2020 and i think my parents plan on buying me one and i can already tell this video is gonna come in handy, thank you🙌
Finally some video which I totally get, thank you!!
loll no problem
Fantastic review, very detailed.
thanks
Thank you so much! My parents just bought one MPK for Christmas, and this was really helpful to learn how to use it. Thanks again!
only person on one of these tutorial videos that actually taught me something
thanks for the video im a 68 year old professor of music and you have really helped thanks
wowww I am so glad I could help you out
This was an extremely helpful video. I hate doing instructions and sometimes people make bad videos. this was super easy to watch and I instantly have tons of ideas with the drum and arpeggiator. and im glad you to learn about that full level. i was tired of bangin on the pads. I was like "this this is janky" lol thats exactly why I started looking for tutorials instead of wingin it and I found this. Appreciate all the help seriously.
Thank you so much dude. I had no clue how to use a MIDI controller before seeing this and I picked it up on a deal
Ohmygad, thank youuu, only video that actually helps in the whole internet
Perfect video appreciate the way you explained everything. Keep up the great work
thank you I'll try
Hey, u didn't explain what does the "CC" options do, could u please help me?
am not sure . but based on my knowledge from lp . it changes the values of the pads so u can map it differently in ur daw . without cc its just a button . with cc it uses pressure sensitive too and can change the value of the knob . but i may be wrong
With cc turned off the buttons work as piano keys. With cc they work as switches for values in your DAW
@@Reapstep It's the other way round
I literally just ordered this! I have no idea how to play, I just know I want to make music. Great video 🔥
I'm glad to see young people making good use of their time. Good video. Thanks.
“Ooo, my bad” 😂😂 dope vid bro 🙌🏽
loll thanks
Loved the video bro. The way you explained everything was super clear. I played the drums for 20 years and I’m just starting now to make beats with Fl studios and this the machine I’m buying. Not gonna lie watching your expression at the end listing to your beat was priceless lol I know that feeling when you watch something you created. Keep killin it my guy 🤘🏽
this was incredibly helpful and straight to the point. hope you continue to make videos like this
I have this problem with one of my synth vts's in protools, where it doesnt record the input from my pitch bend knob. This video didnt teach me how to fix that, but it did teach me what that knob was actually doing when pushed to the left, which made me realize I just needed to throw a pitch shift plug in on top of the vst. Problem solved! Thanks lol
Amazing video, explained everything perfectly!
Great video! It showed me exactly what I needed to know to dive in and make beats with this machine, and in only 10 minutes! A definite must if you are just starting out with this equipment.
Thank you for the clearest, most concise tutorial I've seen. Much appreciated!
Thank you! Got mine yesterday and this video is exactly what I needed❤
Could you maybe also do one of the software :) This vid was already very helpful!!
My dud thx for the info and fire beat man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
no problem bro
Thanks for great review! The only one around not showing off some skills but actually fully informs you about the product! Well done man
glad I could help
your the goat for the situation above all man!
Totally going to buy this soon
yuhhh
same
Did you buy this
if you bought it can you tell me how big the keys are? im cm? or mm?
Check out the black version
Very helpful thanks
no problem
thanks so much for the vid, was struggling with starting to use mine and now i finally have an idea of what i can do with it!!
Us old men appreciate you! Thank you my friend! I got this to add some midi controls to my garage band recordings.
Glad I could help
One thing that is worth mentioning is that the arpeggiator on this device has a big delay from the moment you press the keys. This makes it frustrating when you're trying to play live with other band members. You can test this with and without arpeggiator and see the difference for yourself.
FLY FLY FLY LOVE THE VOCAL SOUNDS
Thank you, just bought a second-hand MPK Mini with no instructions, your video was really helpful!
Great to hear!
this wss amazing there are literally no tutorials out there and this was the only one where i actually learnt something. Thank you
Proverbs 14:23 "All hard work brings a profit"
Keep up the good job, bro and may God bless you ;-)
THE BEST REVIEW!!!
Just bought one of these and this video helped me out greatly! Never been good at reading instruction manuals, thanks 🙏
Great video man, appreciate it was kinda stuck for a bit but this was a solid walkthrough and very informative
