Thanks for the video. I'm a 53 year old doctor and thanks to you i now know how to make some nice beats. Dr. Dre

finally someone who actually cares about other people's experience and not ad revenue

No Bullshit Talks Straight To The Point Crystal Clear You The Man Good Luck

Talented fellow, man. I did NOT miss the irony in the fact that I am learning this- something I've always wanted to learn since I was a kid, FROM a kid🍻 Great teacher. I wonder if he still does this.

you young guy are the best explaining this stuff, got everything down in a single view.

Yo I just bought this because of you. AND IT'S FIRE, good thing I watched your video. Thank you for teaching me how to use it

i'm honestly so thankful i've found your channel few months ago! been watching you ever since - you've actually taught me how to make my first beat all by myself because previously i'd just put samples together and call it a day. i got this Akai because of you also lol. i hope you blow up asap, you're amazing at what you do, yet so humble and willing to share your knowledge with us. i'm even watching the commercials so u cat get ur coin. sending love from poland

With the claims of being the best review i have to review this review. 10/10

Guy, thank you for showing us all there is to know about this mpk mini. No one has ever done this kind of review . You are the only one who has given us a thorough review so far.. I'm getting mine soon

Dude your videos have been so helpful. I'm 25 and a teacher and you have pretty much taught me everything I know so far about making beats I appreciate it! Could you do a video like this for GarageBand? I would like to know how to use GarageBand better through my mpk mini

THANK YOU!!! You covered everything so in-depth, and didn't leave anything out! There were so many other reviews that didn't explain things thoroughly or missed so many buttons. Your explanation was clear too!

Got one of these arriving today. iMac and Garage band all ready to go. Ain’t got a clue how to use it but watching your tutorial has given me a great insight. Cheers

Young man, thank you for helping out and showing HOW TO USE IT, rather than just its features. I am now very very impressed with what it does for the price. And the beat you previewed at the end - love it! Beat-ify a classical piece of music!!!

Man just what I was looking for. I’m 57 and getting mine this Xmas Thank You

Just got the mini mk3 and this was a massive help, even for an older product. Not much difference except in the layout of buttons. Super helpful, thanks dude!

Your video was AMAZING!! I learned so much. I was literally about to give up right before clicking on your video and now hope has been restored, thank you so much again. That beat at the end was fire, I'm going to watch that video now. Keep doing what you're doing.

5yrs after KKREX dropped this tutorial, it still is the best! Kudos to you fam for lacing the people with masterful game on the SRK Mini!

Very thorough and informative video! You do a great job of pronunciation and speaking clearly, as well as providing a slow, distinct, easy to follow tutorial. Keep making tutorials, you're great at it!

Bought this used today without a manual and this taught me everything I needed to figure out the arpeggiator. Thanks!!

Dude I appreciate the in depth method you took. I learned something extremely quickly. Appreciate it.

I’ve watched this video like 3 times now because I’m trying to learn how to use the mpk mini and I never watched all the way to the end to hear the beat - beat is dope!

This was so in depth, i'm contemplating getting one. This has helped me decide further. Much thanks!

Thanks for the video. At first I was worried that this wouldn't be the best AKAI MPK MINI tutorial and review, but it turns out that this actually WAS the best AKAI MPK MINI tutorial and review.

This is amazing, seriously my midi keyboard was just laying around and I learned more now than I have in any other video. Thank you!

Thanks for doing this, as a 73 year old pensioner I can now see what these keypoards can do gets you excited

I was looking at the Akai bc I love making music, so I wanted to get something that could technically have many instruments in one. And this tutorial showed me that it is not as complicated as I had thought🤣 Thank you! I will be buying one of these now!!

Thank you so much for this! Just got my MPK and I have been struggling to find videos that get to the point. Thank you so much for this!

Thanks bro. You nailed it off the rip. Everyone else skipps strait to the software. Glad you're here

I just ordered one of the special edition red one of these. I can't wait to get it and get it out of the box ! Looks so customizable and amazing .

This was an extremely helpful video. I hate doing instructions and sometimes people make bad videos. this was super easy to watch and I instantly have tons of ideas with the drum and arpeggiator. and im glad you to learn about that full level. i was tired of bangin on the pads. I was like "this this is janky" lol thats exactly why I started looking for tutorials instead of wingin it and I found this. Appreciate all the help seriously.

this was really insightful, ive got mine coming tomorrow and you really explained it well enough for me to be even more excited. great video .

Straight to the point instructional with no bs. Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot for the in depth tutorial. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now I feel like I'm going to get the maximum use out of my MPK 🖖👽

planning to get myself an akai mpk mini, your vid is one of the best ive seen so far

Thank you for the clearest, most concise tutorial I've seen. Much appreciated!

best video ive seen in so freaking long man you earned your new subscriber dude thank you so much due to this video I will now purchase it Huge thumbs up

Thanks dude! This is probably the best mk2 beginner intro tutorial I've found on YT by far, just simple, thorough, and on task. 👌 I'm slowly learning how to create and produce, and I bought this mk2 a couple years ago, so I could have a way to create basic piano notes or melodies, connected it and started using it with LogicPro, but had to do a complete systems restructure for backup/production/redundancy hardware-wise in short. Watching your vid helped me realize that it still worked easily using GarageBand, but I can't seem to get it to plug and play with LogicPro the same way. Sooo, would you recommend any vids on the tech aspect of connecting and using the mk2 with Logic and what vids do you think are good explaining how to program the pads? I would appreciate your opinion... That brief snippet at the end of your tutorial was def fire too...🤙

Loved the video bro. The way you explained everything was super clear. I played the drums for 20 years and I’m just starting now to make beats with Fl studios and this the machine I’m buying. Not gonna lie watching your expression at the end listing to your beat was priceless lol I know that feeling when you watch something you created. Keep killin it my guy 🤘🏽

Just wanted to say thanks, I've learned more in 10 mins watching your video than I have in the 3 days since buying the MPK mini plus.

Thank you so much! My parents just bought one MPK for Christmas, and this was really helpful to learn how to use it. Thanks again!

Just got my apk - great vid bro! Thanks!

You absolute legend! I had no idea how half of these things were working! Thank you!

this wss amazing there are literally no tutorials out there and this was the only one where i actually learnt something. Thank you

Thanks for this review! I just got this last night and now I have a much better understanding of how to use it. Definitely going to return to this video multiple times haha. Also that beat at the end WAS FIRE!

This is exactly what I need in a tutorial. Thanks for making this video

I actually got one of these for my bday a month ago because of you! Thank you so much for the recommendation dude!

Thanks for great review! The only one around not showing off some skills but actually fully informs you about the product! Well done man

this was incredibly helpful and straight to the point. hope you continue to make videos like this

Nice tutorial, finally learned about Full Level and Note Repeat! One cool thing I found was that you can turn off Full Level and set Note Repeat to 1/32T. Then you can use the pressure on the pads to create a fade in/ fade out effect with your sample; works well with closed hats and rim shots. Bass kicks sound like a lawnmower.

How cool that you made this tutorial. I really needed it and learned a lot. Thank you.

Very well done! Please show us what you're up to now since this is 6 yrs old! That sneak peek of your beat is fabulous but the looks on your face are precious! Your expressions clearly show how proud you are of your work and how amazing your creation is! I would love to see how far you've come since then! I'm a fan! 👵🙏❤️

Really good job, man. Great review/intro/demo, and your presentation is engaging. Yeah, super nerdy post here, but props when props are due!

The more and more I look into and at this keyboard the more and more I find out about it I'm hyping this for christmas

Thank you so much for this video. I knew absolutely nothing about this lol. I will now be purchasing this for my son for Christmas :)

Great tutorial young man. It really helped. I've never used a MIDI. And, when I pulled it out of the box, I was a bit overwhelmed. lol Thanks for the tutorial.

I just bought one happy I found this video! It’s definitely gonna make my start a whole lot easier

3:55 sound just like the gameboy advance haha

For those wondering to buy 🤔 I'd say its definitely worth the money! especially if you don't want to be intimated by all the knobs pads ect and don't know exactly how to play yet. I've had mine for about a month and I love it but ill admit when I get extra cash I definitely want one with more knobs to control fl studio fader ect you're able to with this one but as you become more fluent you start to notice things that could help you.

Thanks for this. I'm an acoustic musician who's totally unfamiliar with midi and keyboards, and I was looking for something that would actually explain what the keys, pads, and buttons do, and how to use them. This was great! You explained everything really clearly. Still a lot to learn, but now I know how to start.

It's 2020 and i think my parents plan on buying me one and i can already tell this video is gonna come in handy, thank you🙌

I just got the Akai MPK mini 2 and I connected it to my iPad and I used garage band and it’s frickin awesome

Great video! It showed me exactly what I needed to know to dive in and make beats with this machine, and in only 10 minutes! A definite must if you are just starting out with this equipment.

this makes me so excited for mines to come in. This is the best tutorial I've seen on this midi! tyyy

Thanks man, I bought this thing awhile ago and never bothered trying to use it, that made things clear enough that I’m actually getting some use out of it now….

Finally some video which I totally get, thank you!!

Your the Man, good tune at the end.

Absolute perfection. Agreed on the no B.S. time wasting talk. Right to the good stuff and man this is good stuff!!! really really appreciate it. Akai should be paying you!!!

dude, thanks so much. i'm also 53 and just got this to muck about with and now it's a lot clearer. much appreciated. peace!

Perfect video appreciate the way you explained everything. Keep up the great work

thank you so much bro! you are actually super helpful!

I literally just ordered this! I have no idea how to play, I just know I want to make music. Great video 🔥

Great video! Really helpful and more in depth than most people! Really appreciate it!

Fantastic review, very detailed.

Amazing video, explained everything perfectly!

Awesome introduction to the total functionality. Thank you brother for actually putting out a worthwhile video on KZfaq that isn't loaded with b.s and overwhelming loudness.

Great video man, appreciate it was kinda stuck for a bit but this was a solid walkthrough and very informative

I was smiling throughout the video because I just ordered akai

almost gave up on the device, and then this saved me. Thanks a lot bro

Just bought one of these and this video helped me out greatly! Never been good at reading instruction manuals, thanks 🙏

Felt like I was back at college lol. Very professional and straight to the point. Great video bro

thanks for the video im a 68 year old professor of music and you have really helped thanks

Could you maybe also do one of the software :) This vid was already very helpful!!

Little late but what an amazing video. I've been scouring the tubes for a good tutorial video on this to decide on a purchase. No bull, great work.

very in depth and to the point, great video! my mkii is coming in a couple days and thanks to you ill actually know how to use it proper 😄

Totally going to buy this soon

“Ooo, my bad” 😂😂 dope vid bro 🙌🏽

thanks so much for the vid, was struggling with starting to use mine and now i finally have an idea of what i can do with it!!

Just ordered Fruity Loops signature edition, focusrite 2i2 3rd gen and the Akai MPK mini. This review got me excited, thanks.

My dud thx for the info and fire beat man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Proverbs 14:23 "All hard work brings a profit" Keep up the good job, bro and may God bless you ;-)

I am about to buy one and I found this very helpful. You have an excellent way you do this. Thank you!

Thank you for the video. Thanks for covering stuff NOBODY else does. Good video.

How long did it take you to learn how to make beats? Also that was fire at the end sounded like a travis Scott beat

One thing that is worth mentioning is that the arpeggiator on this device has a big delay from the moment you press the keys. This makes it frustrating when you're trying to play live with other band members. You can test this with and without arpeggiator and see the difference for yourself.

Thanks a million Bro. God bless your hustle with riches , stay humble 🙏🏾 🇿🇦

I have this problem with one of my synth vts's in protools, where it doesnt record the input from my pitch bend knob. This video didnt teach me how to fix that, but it did teach me what that knob was actually doing when pushed to the left, which made me realize I just needed to throw a pitch shift plug in on top of the vst. Problem solved! Thanks lol

FLY FLY FLY LOVE THE VOCAL SOUNDS

Hey, u didn't explain what does the "CC" options do, could u please help me?

I just bought the mpk mini from someone yesterday, but I didn't get the software or any instruction manual or what not (the price was super reasonable), so my knowledge upon hooking it up was minimal. It seemed cool regardless of not knowing what some of the features did. Thanks to this vid, I feel like I understand it waaaaay more now and can't wait to get home to test my newly learned knowledge.

Thank you so much. I just got one of these and now I have a better understanding of what everything is doing.
