Akai Professional MPK Mini mk4

Current
Released 2025

Fourth-generation MPK Mini: 25 velocity keys, eight RGB pads, eight knobs, proper pitch and mod wheels, a colour screen and 5-pin MIDI out. The 1,000-odd sounds Akai advertises are the bundled Studio Instrument Collection, which runs on the computer: the board itself makes no sound.
