Is the Akai MPK Mini Play MK3 worth it as a musical instrument?

I have it, and I like it. It is not fancy, the sounds are not the best, but instead of firing up MIDI and iPad and securing connections (yes, amateur), I often find myself reaching for the AKAI, just to try out something. If it works, I might tap it into Korg Gadget (iPad) and then work from there. I find huge inspiration in that device - even trying out different "instruments" might skew me in different directions.

Akai MPK Mini Play MK3 review: flexible and portable with passable onboard sounds

May 23, 2022 - Beginning with the primary point of departure from the conventional MPK Mini range, the Mini Play’s internal sounds consist of 128 rudimentary but passable instrument emulations and 10 slightly more substantial drum kits; all rendered positively Casio-ish by the Mini Play MK3’s improved but very small speaker that, while punchy, can start to distort at high levels. One wonders if Akai, with its rich history of beat-making and sampling (let’s not forget that Roger Linn himself designed the MPC60) has missed a trick here by including such a conventional choice of voices and drums.

r/synthesizers on Reddit: Is the Akai MPK Mini Play MK3 worth it as a musical instrument?

December 17, 2024 -

Let me explain. When I was a kid, I learned to play a bit of piano. Nowadays, I still enjoy playing music (guitar, cajón, and others) along with songs I listen to on Spotify, but my skill level isn’t very high—I do it just for fun.

I'm now looking for a portable and versatile instrument that I can take on my van trips to have some fun, and the Akai MPK Mini Play MK3 seems like a good option because of its ability to play music on its own. I already have a ukulele in my van, but I’d like something that allows me to explore more music genres.

I have zero experience in creating music, but if I bought it, I might be interested in learning a little.

Is the Akai MPK Mini Play MK3 a good purchase for me, or should I look for something more suited to live playing?
