The Akai Professional MPK Mini IV is a compact MIDI controller built for modern music creators who need portability without compromise. Designed for studio, stage, and travel, it combines expressive performance tools, pro-grade connectivity, and intuitive DAW integration in one powerful, lightweight package.
Its upgraded third-generation keybed delivers a responsive feel, while real Pitch and Mod wheels provide detailed control over every performance. Eight RGB-backlit MPC pads are both velocity- and pressure-sensitive, ideal for dynamic beat-making, sample triggering, or finger drumming.
A bright full-colour display and expanded transport controls keep your workflow seamless, while the eight assignable rotary knobs offer precise tactile control. Creative modes including Scale and Chord functions, plus an enhanced arpeggiator with Pattern, Freeze, and Mutate, unlock new musical ideas instantly.
MPK Mini IV also includes the exclusive Studio Instrument Collection over 1,000 presets from AIR, Akai Pro, and Moog. With pre-mapped 1-to-1 controls, browsing and tweaking sounds can be done directly from the controller, keeping your hands off the mouse and on the music.
Equipped with USB-C connectivity, a full-size 5-pin MIDI output, and plug-and-play scripts for major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Bitwig, and Cubase, MPK Mini IV delivers professional workflow efficiency in a portable form factor.
