Description
The MPK Mini MK3 enhances the iconic MPK Mini series with improved keybed performance, upgraded dynamic pads, and a redesigned interface for better workflow. The 25 velocity-sensitive keys offer improved response for playing melodies, basslines, and chords, while the eight backlit MPC pads provide excellent sensitivity for finger drumming and sample triggering.
