"I'm not a piano player, I'm not a drummer..." *proceeds to play awesomely at both* Also thanks for exposing me to the possibilities of a looper pedal, I had never heard of such a thing before.

“Hey guys just so you know I don’t play piano…” proceeds to play so beautifully I almost cry

I am myself not the best keyboard player, but I make a living from playing keyboard for the last 20 years, and you "ARE" a keyboard player

This is by far the best demo I have seen. Entertaining, detailed, and just the right length

Thanks for the awesome demo! I watched this when I was deciding whether or not to buy one, now I have one I'm watching it again to see if I missed anything! I didn't realise there was a function for two drum banks so I'm gonna have to play around with that. I've been having great fun with mine. I've done a couple of videos using my Akai mini play with my loop station which have been really fun to create!

I’ve restlessly been searching and watching TONS of videos on this product and trying to get a better idea on how exactly it works, but there’s so much crucial information/questions other users have left out or have not answered. You, Sir, have the BEST video explaining AND showing EVERY important, fun part about this product!! Now I definitely know I want this!! Thank you for being the first person that I’VE watched mention the looper pedal!! AND the two banks for the drums!! 👏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼

Of all I have seen on UT, yours is the best. Thanks.

Def going to buy this. Also great playing and I subbed.

Awesome! And finally someone made a review of the piano sounds!

I love this video and the performance. Subbed!

You can easily be a good producer sheesh I liked the Melody’s you got sir thx for the vid

You got some skills on those keys man! 🎶🎶🎹👍

This, along with my RC505 loop station, could be a LOT of fun! Thanks! I'm going to get one.

For a "I don't play piano" type of guy, you sir are pretty good at it.

amazing technique. i love your music man

Finally a positive review! I love mines but havent' really used it.

That was awesome and fun and informative and entertaining and even inspiring, thank you so much

JUST ORDERED ONE!! Thanks for the bomb video bro. New Subscriber Right HERE! CAN'T WAIT!

Thanks a lot for the review! Great dog by the way :). Hesitating on getting the mini play to add drums and a bunch of sounds while playing with my looper... I might get it!

This video is the reason I have an mpk mini play. thx for the review !!!!

Lovely.... Work... and you have lot Fun !!

Awesome demo, great keyboard for the price. Can do fun things with it.

the arpeggiator section was probably the coolest demo of this thing. I have it and haven't been able to figure out how to incorporate that feature just yet, but I will one day.

Bro you are fkn amazing. I'm buying this because you an inspiration :D

Your ear for jazzy riffs is very good

I like your Video Style. Low Budget but nice Camera zooms 👍🏻

Im getting one of these in two weeks, im really excited. Thanks For the information

Just ordered mine, thanks for the demoing!

You’re amazing, thank u!!!

Could you make a video on your setup please? I’m a beginner and I just bought one and want to know how to loop and all this stuff. Btw continue your amazing I don’t understand how you are not more fame haha. But your making very good stuff

Great video bro!

I've just ordered one of these. It would be even more awesome if it had a built-in looper, making it truly a stand-alone unit. Thanks for the demo, I really enjoyed it. :)

Awesome!

you're a beautiful player

Not a piano player well you are good on this thing. When I get back to the west I'm getting one and either a loop peddle or an iPad for looping

Dope little sketch pad!

Around the 12-14 minute marks, all of the sudden it's Behind the Scenes in the studio with Sisters of Mercy. I'm so buying one of these things as a toy.

Great fun review :-)

I like how you made a song in the review.

How u gunna say u not a drummer or a piano player and all of those sounds were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey bro you said you’re not a piano player but you sound great 👍

Good video. Thank you

Getting this for christmas

Nice tutorials. Ahh how did you do a loop record? did you use an external looper? Is possible to loop on software like FL studio? bought mine last week. Can you also please explain to me your setup? Thanks

you inspired to me!! ♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥

You are awesome.

Good bro i very like this video it's very nice ans very convenient this video makes me want to practice

Afuckingmazing video mate ! 2 thumbs up

BoneZone Music, Excellent playing for someone claiming to not be a pianist/keyboardist...lol Nice job. I've considered purchasing this Akai MPK Mini and this demo helps a lot. Do you have a video showing how to set up the looping pedal? Thanks. Shalom.

liked, good informational video, and cool dog

Good review. It is a CRIME that they did not include a rec or loop function. Also they included sounds are on the cheesy side.

Super nice demo/improvs. It certainly shows how useful this little keyboard can be. Do you know the Yamaha pss-a50? It is less complete as a controller but maybe better as a solo instrument. Anyways, I have two questions about the MPK Mini Play. Hopefully you see this and can answer. First: can the filter and envelope be applied to any of the on-board sounds? Second: does this receive midi messages or only sends them? Third: can you latch the arpeggiator and play a melody over it? Or you always need a looper? Thanks! (Unfortunately, AKAI is not great posting details about its keyboards).

Can you make a video on the voice effect you did? Explaining it and stuff, also if I was gonna hook up a mic what type of cable would I need?

That last one reminds me of a 90s game that was fire

Hi, Thanks for the review! Quick question, how did you connect it to a looper pedal? I don't think it has a 6.3mm jack, and I wanted to figure out if it could be connected before I purchase. Thanks!

Came for the instrument demo, stayed for music.

Very nice cool funny view keep it up

Pretty good work my man, Mine just arrived today. Cant wait to try it out. Any Suggestions or tips and tricks I should know Would be greatly appreciated. Keep it up Brother \m/

yeahhhh bro you're getting a sub from me mr. "im not a piano player or a drummer"

thanks for covering the older versionMPK mini, what shall we call it? First MPK mini? thankz for stepping forward!

Wish it worked with MPC beats though. It's mapped terribly on there. What to I gotta do to just start making my compositions?

Best sound

i guess you're using a loop pedal like a boss Rc-2 or 3 ? I'm actually new to computer asisted music and i'm looking for a good software that would enable me to record loops and easily activate and deactivate different looped tracks to create or cover songs without a pedal first (until I get back my loop) any ideas ?

Can you still incorporate your sounds from Fl20 or any other daw?

Can you make a video on your setup? Like what the mpk is hooked up to and how you use your looper pedal? That would be awesome, I'm a beginner and would love some advice for the mini play, I can't seem to find any solid tutorials or guides for it.

Hi I have a MPK mini play too, and I would like to make some loops (repetitive sound or drums) too but I still have no found out how - the description (handbook) of the MPK is very limited, can you be so kind to explain me how it works? Many many thanks

Ahhh this little machine looks amazing for all you loopers out there to combine it with some guitar loops! So from the headphone out mini jack if you connect to the A/mono input of a loop pedal (leaving the B input free to connect a guitar), would the L and R signal from the Akai be summed to mono... or would one need a summing type pedal or summing amp I think they are called (stereo summed to mono pedal)? Thanks! :)

instant subscribe gives me og youtube vibes

How are you outputting the stock internal sounds? I’ve been trying to figure it out to record it in my daw. This is great with VST programs too. I’m just trying to get it to where I don’t need a ton VST programs. Forgive me if you went over this. I’m just dumbfounding on this part.

5 years later you can get pretty sick sounds with some modification with effectts

Do you have any idea how I could connect this to my iPad to record the sounds on BeatMaker 3? I know I need an interface but after that do I just connect an aux from the headphone jack to the interface or do I need a converter piece in between to convert to a stereo line?

you are SO funny!! what?? also, you sound JUST LIKE an older version of Dustin from Stranger Things.... weird!!

so for the loop pannel, What kind do he use? Did he use more than one loop recording at a time? (meaning he has 2 or 3 pannels. Don't know if it works like that im new help me )

Dude this thing sounds really cool to me,can i connect this keyboard to my audio interface and record with the built-in sounds? Cheers!

i have one of this but i have some issue understanding the different software i tried (im a beginer) . i just want to record some loops with the sound of the mpk, any easy software i could use ? thank you

MY GUY you got some skill dog. Quick question, could you put 808 on it??? If you can i am fs going to get it

Can you transpose tones,no octave change,just transpose notes? With some akai models can do this if push together octave up and down buttons and then touch new tonality

Is it easy to change sounds (fast) while looping like you're doing? I have a G1on Pedal, so I was wondering if is it easy to change from a sound like a Grand Piano to a Electric Piano fast enough for looping? Thanks!

very cool...what are you looping it with?

When looping are u looping on the keys itself or separate looper or Daw

Nice ! what looper are u using? can I use my boss RC-1 with it???

How did you record the drums? Did you loop it with the akai alone?

The Full Level button only works for the pads or does it work for the keyboard also ?

Were you recording/ sequencing in STANDALONE mode or via the computer on this demo???? In other words.... Can you récord/ sequence on board in STANDALONE mode??😄

Sounds amazing for the money, one question how do you add pedals to it?

I have assigned favorite sounds to the pads via the favorites button and now I cannot remove or change them. Can you tell me how can I change to other sounds or reset my settings?

Hello i greatly appreciate this video, im new to this, what you actually need to start using it?

mans saying he aint a piano player and hes playing some mad stuff and plus hes got a keyboard next to him lol

definitely u r a piano player and a drummer damn

Do you consider it an improvement over the mkii, or are both the same. Personally, i think anyone who says that that the sounds are not that good, is a mater of opinion. I am very impresed with this, and the sounds. you can probibly get a full song out of this as what you get out a DAW

Can you explain how to go about using a loop pedal with this?

Perfecto on the video. 👌 If you don't mind me asking how are you looping? I just got one a day ago and I'm using FL studio but for some reason I can't get it to loop 😭 do you think I should get a foot pedal loop? I mean I just thought of this but I've been playing the piano for 14 years thank you for the video.

Hi, congrats for the demo, you re a great musician ! Which solution do you suggest as a loop pedal? Somethig not too expensive

Hello, I bought an Akai Mpk Mini Play device. I want to use the instrument without connecting it to the computer. But I want to fix the rhythm with drum sounds from the pads and play a solo piano on the keyboard, but I couldn't discover from which key and how to do this on the device. While the device is also battery powered, it is my preference to be able to use it anywhere independent of the computer. In short, how should I record the drum sounds I play on the device itself, with which key, without connecting it to a computer?

Hi, really interested into buying this thing. How can you play live song changing octave section of keys? Is it possibile? Tnx

Just bought my mpk mini play sounds good but still learning to make the drum loop

Great video. So let me ask you this, how do you keep the drums loop going? with computer software? or does this have the ability to record and loop sounds all by itself?? Thanks 🤙 and thanks again for the upload.

Does this have a line out? Am I able to out it to a sound board or a speaker cabinet for a live setting?

Is that a Yamaha psr s910 on the right? I used to use one of them that belonged to my brother

Why there are so many guys on KZfaq telling me that the mpk mini mk2 is the better choice? I think the play version is very cool for loop musicians and if you don’t have any computer near you and you need some sounds.
