Akai MPK25

The Akai Professional MPK25 is a portable keyboard controller with MPC production controls.  Based closely on the MPK49, the first keyboard ever to feature MPC pads, the MPK25 scales down the keyboard by 24 keys and retains the utility, capability, and flexibility that make the MPK49 one of the world's hottest keyboards.  Its smaller, more portable size makes the MPK25 the perfect travel companion.  Its small footprint can fit in your lap on the couch or on a plane, enabling you to create tracks whenever inspiration strikes.  All you need is your laptop and the MPK25.

Creative Input
MPK25 combines a 25-key keyboard and 12 genuine MPC pads.  The keyboard is semi-weighted and features aftertouch for expressive melodic control.  The MPC pads are pressure and velocity-sensitive to capture every nuance of your creative concepts.  The pads can access four banks of sounds, so you have 48 samples at your fingertips with the touch of a button.

MPK25 places dedicated transport controls within your reach for easy control of some of the most important tracking and editing controls.  The MPK25 has modulation and pitch-bend wheels for expressive musicality, and two assignable footswitch inputs enable you to connect an expression pedal or other continuous controller and a footswitch for momentary controls like patch change or start/stop.
