Making a Song with the Built-In Sounds on the MPK Mini Play mk.3
The Built-in keys, synth, drum and bass sound on Akai's MPK Mini Play mk.3 are really good. These presets blew me away the first time I used them. They're tweak able and customizable and a lot of fun to use when you're songwriting or making music. In this video I want to show you a song that I made using only the built-in sounds on the MPK Mini Play and show you how I mixed and produced the track in Logic Pro.

I don't even care about the sound production of that little keyboard, I just like the idea of learning to master your chord playing by restricting yourself to only "two octaves!"......You will discover that inside of two octaves, you can play any Jazz chord you want (with chord inversion knowledge).....Very exciting to learn with AND to groove with!

@tonym.villacruzvillacruz5728 3 ай бұрын

"2 octaves" you know you can use more channels when it comes to recording, right?

@clutch236 3 ай бұрын

@@tonym.villacruzvillacruz5728 Yeah, I just talking about improving your chord understanding by restricting yourself to a small range.

@@PatrickBreenMusic Wow! Thanks Patrick for such a quick reply! I assumed that it would work with the iMac headphone jack (tried numerous 3.5mm cables but none worked). I'm a complete beginner with this and didn't buy an audio interface - really hoped the internal sounds would work by just connecting it to the computer, but it's much more complicated than I thought and the AKAI website doesn't really provide tutorials, so thank you so much for your help otherwise I'd be lost! 🙂 Thanks again!
