Akai MPK Mini MK3 (25-Key MIDI Controller)

Every music tech program eventually asks the same question: can you actually play what you're producing? The MPK Mini MK3 puts a real, velocity-sensitive keyboard, drum pads, and assignable knobs on your desk in a footprint small enough for a dorm room or a gig bag. Class-compliant with every major DAW — plug in and it just works.
