Thank You for Watching!
Thank you! This video was helpful! I just got me the black one and this is my first midi keyboard! I can’t wait to get it started. I also just subscribed! 🙏🏼🎹
One of the best tutorials and AKAI is the BEST💪🏽 I JUST GOT Mines and same color and yesterday I got the Akai Professional Advance 61 …
Thank you so much, I’ve subscribed and you are a great easy to listen to teacher. Love the MPC tutorial, can’t wait for more. BTW I’m a old school 61 year old rocker and I loved what you showed. Just got my MPC MK 3 for my 61st birthday today. Love ya my man.
I can't stress enough how easy it was to jump right in with those device and the software. With a lot of help from the tutorial videos like this from the good folk it really didn't take long for me to catch on how it worked coming from a zero experience approach, other than I've always loved and appreciated and absorbed music for these past two decades
Getting ready!! Needed this!!!
Best video yet for explaining of the capabilities of the MPK Mini MK3, you rock man.
Thanks bro bro!! I appreciate that! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Dude the way you expressed this wonder is amazing, I truely admire the way you perform. It is so chill and also amazing.
Also the track was sick.
Thank you bro bro!!
Great man. This was expiring
Getting this for Christmas ! I’ve always wanted to start making beats. Was a pretty good drummer growing up and always finger drumming on the desk in school haha. Apollo Brown my top 1 inspiration for sure. Dudes a genius . Thank you for this video.
So all I need is a computer and I can set this up download everything and start making bangers ? How do I put in samples ? Like samples from old music /movies and stuff like that ? And then make the beat on top of that?
Tyler Bell that’s my main question as well. Can a Bluetooth vinyl player link to this for sampling?
Cool, thanks for sharing this
Thanks for sharing!
Also that beat in the back is too lit
Always a pleasure 💯👊🏽
That come in on the unboxing session was insane
I just bought this hardware and needed this so much. Appreciate bruh!
You are King 👑 of tutorial my brother thank you! Watched so many videos and wasted so much time until now. You make it easy! Subscribed!
im convinced. I was questioning this but you my brotha are smooth with your words and you went into detail and showed us the software and how it performs. im looking forward to more videos!
That’s what’s up Stoner! Glad you enjoyed the video fam!! Thanks for watching bro bro!! See you in the next next one!!🙏🏾👊🏾

@@JeroAlmufakir I got the red one and I've bought matching red headphones loll.
Nice review
Keep it up mate, loving the work here. Appreciate your work from Australia! - I have the MKII I don't use it near as much as I should but you've inspired me to get it out and maybe even sling some dough at this one!
Thanks for this video bro! Super well-formatted and informative. I'll be buying one soon!
I started krumping to the beat !
I've been having a difficult time setting up the potentiometer knobs and joystick controller to actually do anything noticeable. I love this piece of equipment and how portable it is, i just have to learn some more stuff like assigning what potentiometer does what.
Brilliant tutorial Bro thanks.
Thank u bro for instructions
Going to get this keyboard next month! I subscribed.
Just got mine. HYPED
Thank you I just bought one .
I did on BM3
lets go !!!
that joint on my list now!!!!!
I also did not like the first one i use mainly the MPC Live 1 but started using Serra to studio and this maps with it out the box so going to give akai another go thanks for this review
Why when you put the notes on chords in the software the pads on the mpk won’t play the chords ? If I use the mouse or keys to pads and use the typing keys on my MacBook they play the chords but the mpk will not .
Grrrrrreat tutorial fam.😎😎
Yo wats the website
Yo man, thanks so much for your help to understand the Programm...... It's not easy but thanks 👍🏾
Your welcome bro bro!! Thanks for watching!!🙏🏾👊🏾
Thank you for this review!

So helpful man I appreciate it!🎹🎼
No doubt Vicke! Thanks for watching!💪🏾👍🏾
Hi can you help please its now saying audio device not working it was working when I first hooked it up
I can't get my sounds to work I did everything and did everything in the video but the pad sounds aren't working
Any issues Email Akai and they will send you a detailed guid to fix your issue.
Good Video, Great Explanation!
🙏🏾👊🏾
Thank you!
Hey Teacher..., Thanks for the info...PEACE
Why aren't my pads syncing with the mpc beats
Inspiring
10:37 is their anyway you can use the drum pads on the controller for the top two rows?
Yea you can, you can assign what drums sounds you want to them as well
Thank You.
🙏🏾👊🏾
Texans! Aye! 🤘🏽
My knobs are not working ... Any suggestions?
why my MPC beats grid is very small? How can I change it? thanks :)
There’s a control level for resizing the grid in the middle of the software on the right. 👊🏾
That's what's up Fam
🙏🏾👊🏾
How do you compare this to mini play?
Thanks for your review bro I sub to ur channel I like this mini mk3 I will used for my iPad pro for Latin beats to work on garage band and cubas3 and auria what u think its a good choice thanks again 👍
Thanks Tipico! The apps you named are very good apps bro! You shouldn’t have any issue making so great music!! 👊🏾🙏🏾✌🏾
@@MarcusElbow thanks 😊 🙏
Thanks dude
Your welcome Judas! Thanks for watching bro bro!!🙏🏾👊🏾
Wanna het this for my son. What kind of laptop should i get him to go with this ??
well I ordered it... now what laptop is best to run this with. does it have to be a MacBook. someone pls help
You can use any laptop. It'll work with even a $300 budget laptop. You'll just have to buy a software
@@genieslayer4298 what software
This helped 👍
That’s what’s up!! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Nice thx! How do you adust key velocity?
Hi there, if you press and hold the "Full Level" button for 5 seconds, you'll be able to change the Key Velocity with the knobs from 1 to 5 🤓
Big ups Bruv.. one question, akai MPK or the i Rig keys 25, what would u prefer ???
Got to go with the iRig keys 25 bro, it comes with an audio interface and a nicer key bed. The pads are better on the MPK but the iRig 25 would be the better choice! Hope this helped bro!🙏🏾👊🏾✌🏾
When I go to enable the MK3 there is no map for it. Only the MK2.
I think the Launchkey mini mk3 is better, what do you think?
Not sure Hentai 🤔 I don’t own a Launchkey bro. Thanks for watching tho! 👍🏾✌🏾
quick question man.. is it at all possible to sample with the midi keyboard. i got my hands on a audio technica turntable and was wondering the most cost effective option in terms of sampling sounds and making a beat of them off the same device, would this model be able to accomplish this?
What’s good Juan?! No sir! This is just a midi controller. It controls data from any type of music creation software that allows midi. To sample you would need a sampler like the MPC live for example.
They do have cheap samplers out there that you could use to then bring that data into a software program like MPC Beats and then chop them using the MPK. That would be the only way to do this tho using this device. Sorry bro!🙏🏾👊🏾
@@MarcusElbow thank you for the response
super
this video is the truth
Thanks fam!!🙏🏾💯
@@MarcusElbow mine dont work at all
👊🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥
Mpc beats softeare comes with it ??
Yes
@@MarcusElbow i need help setting up i got mpc live 2 and about to get this keyboard
Way better than mpc esssentials
Can it be used with iOS?
Yes👍🏾
Can u tell me the website for the mpk
What’s good bro?! The software is called MPC Beats. You can find it here: www.akaipro.com/mpc-beats
I'll guess I'll never understand the logic of Beats, I like to arrange patterns to make a structured song...
Great video. Is the MPK mini play compatible with an MPC beats?
Yes. Thanks for watching!🙏🏾👊🏾
@@MarcusElbow thank you so much finally someone Responded back. Do you know how to map the pads and knobs using the MPC beats software?
Please get back to me if you know how to.
God bless you and happy holidays 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@MarcusElbow also do I need a interface for it? Sorry if I’m bothering you I just wanna start making these beats and be like you one day lol.
What’s good Nick?! You don’t need an audio interface to start making beats but you will need one in the future if you want to connect monitors (speakers) to your cpu. Check this video out! Dj Ave covers how to connect the MPK mini. ruclips.net/video/yhJODqse5O0/видео.html
I find the key velocity on mine un playable I really need to smash the 🎹
Same here, how do I solve this?
@@larsozzsk7143 depending on what program you are using there is a setting for velocity setting - like most programs - except I like to make music in Nano Studio on the iPad which as far as I know doesn’t have. What program are you using?
@@walesu.k.2108 I'm using FL studio 12. So I can fix it a bit ofcourse, but still I have to push a bit hard..
@@larsozzsk7143 I’ve got FL Stidio and Abelton - Have you explored all the settings in FL settings? I think you can change the velocity to 100 which means no finger bashing! I’m not near the computer at the moment and only recently got FL and Abelton - once I have had a look I will get back to you - look up online about FL key Velocity
