![]() The design remains compact and portable, despite offering an additional octave and extra hardware controls when compared to the MPK Mini.Įight velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit MPC Drum Pads allow users to play and program dynamic drum parts, and can also be configured to transmit MIDI Program Changes and trigger CC parameters. The MPK Mini Plus features Akai’s Gen 2 velocity-sensitive keybed, and is also equipped with pitch and modulation wheels. Akai should document all such hidden values rather than assuming customers won’t use them.Akai have announced the release of the MPK Mini Plus, a 37-key MIDI controller keyboard that features a built-in sequencer, eight RGB-backlit MPC Pads, eight assignable endless rotary knobs, an assignable X/Y joystick, and a dedicated transport section. (Incidentally, I didn’t notice any changes from adjusting any of the values in the Full Level hidden menu, so I really don’t know what that’s adjusting. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Akai will update the software to add this feature. ![]() I’m just not finding any way to adjust this in either hardware (preferred) or software. Light touches that register as barely audible aren’t too useful to me. they’re supposed to be pro level pads that have tons of sensitivity for making drum beats of dynamic volume, but really what I’d like is to shorten the sensitivity curve so that the lightest touch gives me about a 64 level, and a harder touch gives me a 127. I’m guessing this isn’t so much a “problem” as a feature of the Akai MPK Mini Mk3. I’m working on a solid flat surface, too. ![]() ![]() Tapping a pad on a screen gets me a full level volume, which I can get from the MPK mk3 pads if I press Full Level, but otherwise I really have to pound the pads to get anything close to full level volume. I’ve been playing all day with settings in BM3 and I’ve tried adjusting all the v1 v2 v3 v4 values to no effect. I haven’t tried MIDI Curve yet (I’d prefer a setting that applies universally), but none of these other workarounds did anything for me. ![]()
