Akai Pro MPK225 Compact USB MIDI Keyboard Controller 25-Key
Product Information
The 25-key MPK225 is an addition to the popular MPK USB keyboard/pad controller series. Housed in a slimmer, all-new design, it features RGB backlit trigger pads lifted straight from the MPC Renaissance and a 20-character LCD screen with comprehensive parameter feedback. Designed to erase the line between hardware control and software performance, the new MPK family also includes the ability to send QWERTY-style commands using soft-controls, a low-power mode for iOS connectivity via the Camera Connection Kit and enhanced response from the refined keybed.
The MPK225 also comes with advanced music production software titles including Ableton™ Live Lite and MPC Essentials – a powerful sample-based groove production application – and spectral morphing synth Twist from SONiVOX.
