Full portable creative control
While maintaining its compact footprint, MPK Mini Plus offers extensive controls providing deep command over a wide range of features. Eight velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit MPC drum pads are the backbone for not only playing dynamic beats and programming drums, but also assigning program changes and triggering additional CC parameters.
Assignable knobs and transport controls
Dial in effects with the eight assignable rotary encoders for every function including filters, automation, pan controls and more. For the first time on any MPK Mini, enjoy dedicated transport controls for total integration with your DAW. Eliminate needless back-and-forth from your QWERTY keyboard and mouse and stay engaged in the creative workflow with dedicated play, stop, record, loop and locator buttons.
Ultimate feel and expression
As with all MPK Mini controllers, performance starts with the keys. MPK Mini Plus features 37 keys with the Gen 2 Dynamic Keybed for expanded melodic and harmonic creation. Three full octaves means more room for two-handed chords, arpeggiation and laying down solos or soundscapes. The Gen 2 Dynamic Keybed features incredibly playable keys with a wider velocity range, delivering a world-class level of note dynamics and response.
Pitch bend and mod wheels
With more keys, your music will need new ways to add feel and expression, so MPK Mini Plus adds dedicated pitch bend and modulation wheel controllers to help all keyboard performances truly come alive. Alongside the iconic joystick controller, there's no shortage of tactile interaction for near limitless expression.
Standalone operation
For those spontaneous creative moments or quick jams sessions, MPK Mini Plus can operate with standalone functionality. The polyphonic step sequencer is convenient for capturing new ideas on the fly. Record notes and drum patterns simultaneously for serious standalone music creation.
Dedicated modes for chords and scales
MPK Mini Plus features two modes to help simplify and accurately enhance your performances. Chords Mode plays multiple notes and inversions with a single key, and Scales Mode enables the keybed to play notes only in the selected scale. For both modes, many creative options are available along with 15 scale settings.
Advanced connectivity
Connect to any class-compliant USB or 5-pin MIDI device and use the CV/gate connectors to plug into your eurorack setup and other semi-modular synths. MPK Mini Plus is versatile enough for the serious beginner looking to grow their creative space and also for seasoned pros who want to get the most out of their studio gear.
DAW control mapping
MPK Mini Plus can be mapped to your favorite DAW such as FL, Logic or Ableton, giving you all the portable creative control you need. Take advantage of controlling your transport, macros, mixing environments and even writing automation for your favorite plug-in effects and instruments.
Includes MPC Beats DAW for Mac and PC
The bundled MPC Beats digital audio workstation software for Mac and PC offers the iconic MPC workflow right on a desktop or laptop computer, and also includes thousands of sounds, drum samples, loops and plug-in instruments to create your next hit song. With the 37-note Gen 2 Keybed, MPC plug-in instruments like Electric and Tubesynth will come alive with extended sonic range. Set MPK Mini Plus on a desktop and connect with standalone MPC devices to control Mellotron and Hype plug-ins.
