Can the midi from Beats be tranferred to reaper as midi? are any of the sounds vst's ?** A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! Thanks for your question. Yes! MPC Beats can operate as a VST instrument within Reaper so you can still access all the supplied content within your favourite DAW. I hope this helps and If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us directly - amzsupport@inmusicbrands.com Thanks, Krishan **Q: Does this work with cubase 12 without having to manually map everything?** A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! No - MPK Mini Plus operates as a generic MIDI controller with Cubase. Cubase 12 specifically, has introduced something called 'MIDI Remote' which contains mapping for many MIDI Controllers and the ability to manually map controllers with ease. The included software MPC Beats, can launched as its own plugin within Cubase as a VST. This software contains pre-mapping for MPK Mini Plus. For further support, please contact us - amzsupport@akaipro.com **Q: WOuld you reccomend this for someone new?** A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! Yes, MPK Mini MK3 is ideal for beginners and musicians on the go! We supply you with MPC Beats, 6 Virtual Instruments, and 2GB of sound content to get you started on your journey with music! **Q: Which daw is best recommended for this, logic, ableton or garageband?** A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! MPK Mini MK3 features mappings for all of the DAWs listed in your question. If you're just getting started with music production, we recommend MPC Beats (included) or GarageBand. If you are intermediate-advanced, you should use the full MPC software, Logic Pro or Ableton Live. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great MIDI keyboard can be connected to IPAD *by on Reviewed in the United States August 6, 2026* The keys feel responsive, the pads and controls are fun to use, and the added features make creating music much easier and more enjoyable. I love that it’s compact enough for a desk setup but still offers more control and flexibility than smaller MIDI keyboards.Photo below with my toddler. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Controller *by on Reviewed in the United States May 27, 2026* Two onboard sequencers 64 step, can’t beat it for the price, they even have swing. Plus it feels good and plays well. The pads are great and even have aftertouch. I like having the joystick and the wheels as well. 5 pin midi is great to see. It’s been a breeze to get setup and working, it’s basically plug and play. Excellent budget controller, hardware compatible. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice MIDI controller at a decent price. *by on Reviewed in the United States March 9, 2025* Really nice MIDI controller. Comes with a USB-A cable to connect to a computer (no MIDI cables, which is normal for controllers, so not a surprise). Lots of good functions. The keys ARE small and feel kind of plasticky (they are, after all, plastic), but it's well made, and seems like it will last. Responsive pads for the percussion pads (rubberised -- 8 of them). Modulation wheel feels just right -- not too loose, not too stiff. The pitch bend wheel has a nice spring, and feels solid. Good set of keys and knobs. Some gate sync connections, a sustain pedal, and the 37 keys is a good size going up 3 full octaves -- I prefer it over the smaller 25 key formats. It's still small enough to be portable without being limited for use.The size of the keys makes playing full pieces a bit impossible, but it's a controller, and not meant for that. It's good for keying in the notes you want where you want them, and maybe doing a chord or two and a short run. Overall, I'm super pleased with this controller. ## Frequently Bought Together - Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus - USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with 37 Mini Keys, 8 MPC Pads, Sequencer, MIDI/CV/Gate I/O, Music Production Software and Native Instruments Sound Package - LTGEM Hard Case for Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus - USB MIDI Keyboard Controller - Travel Protective Carrying Storage Bag (Black+Red) - Donner DSP-001 Sustain Pedal for Keyboard, Universal Piano Pedal with Polarity Switch for Digital Piano/Piano Keyboard/MIDI KeyboardSynthesizer, 1/4'' (6.35mm) Input Plug, 63'' (1.6m) Cable --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/688028841-mpk-mini-plus-37-key-usb-midi-keyboard-controller](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/688028841-mpk-mini-plus-37-key-usb-midi-keyboard-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
