Akai MPK mini Down & Out

Post by ADM »

Hi guys,

Well, it finally happened... I was recording my latest masterpiece (yeah right) when suddenly one of the keys on my Akai snapped off :o so I need a new midi controller keyboard... I was thinking of maybe getting a 49 key one... Any suggestions for a half decent one that works with Mixcraft?

Cheers! :D

They're all going to work with MC, it's all about what you want, need and can grow into. Oh yeah, and one in your budget. Good ones can be found affordably.

I upgraded from the Akai MPK Mini to the Akai MPK249 and love it... Full-size keys, nice pads, faders, etc... Works great.

Thanks for your input guys... that MPK 249 looks awesome... but as I wasn't expecting to have to buy a new midi keyboard just yet... that one's a wee bit on the expensive side just now... not ruling it out though... maybe next time :P

I decided to go for the Nektar Impact LX49+ I know it's not in the same league as that Akai MPK 249 but hopefully it'll do for now :D
