The Akai Professional MPK61 USB MIDI keyboard controller makes a perfect addition to your live or home studio setup! You get a very high-quality, 61-key semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch for starters; this makes the MPK61 and your virtual instruments as expressive as you want to make them! While this alone would make the MPK61 worth the price, the addition of 16 MPC-style velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads adds another dimension. The ability to control up to 72 different parameters make it easy to take command of your instruments and audio applications with the MPK61!
MPC-style interface
The Akai Professional MPK61 features MPC-style Full Level and 12 Level functions on its pads, and MPC Swing can be applied to both Note Repeat and Arpeggio functions. Tap Tempo and time-division buttons allow for real-time control of Note Repeat and Arpeggio clock speeds.

The MPK61 lets you control up to 72 different parameters, with 24 assignable Q-link controls.
