Akai MPK Mini Mk3

PRICE £89 WHAT IT IS 25 Key velocity-sensitive mini keyboard CONNECTIVITY USB-C POWER USB

A very well spec’d keyboard for the money. It’s also great for adding melodies, basslines and simple chords to projects, and eight encoder knobs can be mapped to practically any parameter, plus those eight full-sized MPC style drum pads really make a difference. It’s small enough to be thrown in a backpack, yet contains enough useful features to make it a highly useful addition to any studio. You’ll need a USB-C or Lightning adaptor though.
