The media could not be loaded. My keyboard is an oldie so needed something smaller and more mobile whilst studying and creating audio piece for videos. I am a complete noob and not used a keyboard in over 10 years.This badboy is so versatile. Having used with Reaper, Native Access, and Spitfire Audio...all of you musical needs tapped into.If you are new to the MIDI lifestyle, this is great for the noobs! Instructions are simple. Make sure you decent software. There are loads of free instruments to get you started.Great value for money, sturdy keys, compact and tidy appearance. Adequate spacing between dials

Love the features and design, keeping it compact with the pitch and mid wheels being behind the keys rather than to the left. Love the pads and backlighting. The little LCD screen is very functional. Keys have a nice feel, similar to my Yamaha Reface 37 key mini synth. My only problem, and it's minor, is the underside of the keys have a sharp edge which occasionally catch your fingers when playing. Four stars rather than five for this, as it's an unnecessary manufacturing shortcut. I'll be taking some sandpaper to mine now that I know it's a keeper.

Got this midi keyboard to replace much larger keyboard due to reduced space. Despite its size the keyboard is really easy to play. Some quite excellent features on board, especially the sequencer.No too expensive

Great controller if you’re short of space and need something that can sit on an office desk. Three octaves makes a big difference in terms of playability compared to the many 2 octave mini key options available. My son has the 2 octave MPK MiniPlay and he notices this as well.

I can't really fault the keyboard as such as it seems to be working alright... however, I paid full price for a new one (Which has since been reduced 😡) and waited longer than expected... just to unknowingly receive a pre-owned one, in a lightly damaged box, that upon opening I discovered that it already has all the plastics ripped off and is missing the manual, the "free" software and the warranty and safety paperwork. I'm quite shocked and disappointed to say the least. I want to keep the item as I like it honestly and it's supposedly"special edition" so seems hard enough to find, I just feel completely ripped off regarding the missing contents and lack of any sort of manual to explain the functions... 😕

Really pleased with the MPK Mini Plus. Well built, easy to setup and comes with a very useful software bundle including a DAW and VST instruments to get you going. Excellent!

Good quality and convenient
