It features 25 semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, 12 MPC pads for beat-making, and eight Q-Link knobs for MIDI control. With plug-and-play connectivity and built-in transport controls, it integrates seamlessly with major DAWs, making it an essential tool for modern music production. ## Description Portable performance and production. 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 makes 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. Q-LINK COMMAND One of the most important input devices on an MPC is its Q-Link assignable control section. The MPK25 gives you twelve virtual knobs and four virtual buttons that are assignable to control nearly any software parameter. You can control two different parameters per Q-Link thanks to the knobs' dual-bank selection. EXPRESSIVE ENGINE Two technologies pioneered in the MPC series and built into the MPK series are MPC Note Repeat and MPC Swing. These note-modifying features can be heard in many of the most popular tracks over the last two decades. MPC Note Repeat is a capability that enables the MPK (or MPC) to automatically play a rhythm pattern, such as 16th notes on a hi-hat, for accuracy and speed of entry. MPC Swing is sometimes referred to as "the heart and soul of hip hop" because it turns perfectly aligned sequences into human feeling time alignments. You can specify exactly the degree and timing of swing you want to apply for the perfect feel. On top of MPC technologies, the MPK25 has its own arpeggiator, which enables you to create quick, creative riffs in seconds. MPK25 also has MPC Full Level and MPC 12-Level on its pads, as well as Tap Tempo and Time Division so you can nail the tempo, timing, and dynamics exactly as you hear them in your head. COMPLETE SYSTEM The MPK25 is a MIDI controller that sends its MIDI values over USB. It is bus powered, so all you need to connect and power the MPK25 is the supplied USB cable. Because it is MIDI compliant, the MPK25 works with most MIDI recording, sequencing, and performance software for musical performers from keyboard players to producers to DJs and even VJs! The MPK25 comes with Ableton Live Lite Akai Edition, one of the most popular and powerful performance and production programs in the world. Ableton Live Lite enables musicians to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise, and edit musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Create and perform anywhere with the MPK25. It's the most expression you'll find in a portable, convenient package. Review: Love it!!! It's more than I expected it to be!! - It's a solid, weighty design and it works perfectly! Weighty keys and fluid knobs enhance the music. Mpc-style pads are great too! Midi syncs perfectly to my Ableton live! Because I'm so happy with this awesome midi controller I'm actually gonna get the Akai mpk49 eventually! Plus the akai apc40. I'm just that happy with akai! I first bought the mpk mini and fell in love with it immediately! Made more songs with that than any other controller. I've had this mpk25 for a couple of months now and I'm totally in love with it! I use it everyday and I just leave it on for long extended periods of time and it doesn't get hot or loud. It just keeps on truckin'! Thanks, Akai! Can't wait for Ableton Push! And thank you desertcart for the great, speedy delivery! Review: it is very sturdy. About a month after i got it - This is a phenomenal device. Not only does it do everything that i need plus more, it is very sturdy. About a month after i got it, i accidentally left it in my outside studio, not knowing that it would rain. Well, needless to say, it did. I ran back home hoping that it didn't get wet. Well, IT DID. It had so much water in it that i had to hold it up and drain it. I was devistated. But, the good ole mpk 25 never missed a beat, i plugged it back up the next day and its still going strong to this day with no problems. I was brand new to making beats and i knew absolutely nothing on how to get started But after playing with it and watching a few tutorials, i started to see its capabilites and my imagination come to life. I debated on weather or not i should buy the mpk25 for months, but i dont regret buying it at all, as a matter of fact, i would suggest that you make the purchase, you won't regret it. I am highly pleased. ## Features - 25-key semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch for expressive melodic creativity - MPC-pad section of 12 genuine MPC pads with pressure and velocity sensitivity - MPC pads access four banks each for instant access to 48 samples - Assignable Q-Link controller section for flexible control of most software parameters - MPC Note Repeat, MPC Swing, and arpeggiator aid in creative process ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001SGWKR6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #302,545 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #893 in Computer Recording MIDI Controllers | | Brand Name | Akai Professional | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | AKAI MPC, AKAI MPD, AKAI MPK 49, AKAI MPK 61, AKAI MPK 88 | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Keyboard Controller | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (106) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00825213002395 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | PC/Mac | | Human Interface Input | Keyboard | | Included Components | not included | | Instrument | Keyboard | | Instrument Key | Any | | Item Weight | 7.7 Pounds | | Keyboard Description | Ergonomic | | Manufacturer | 0 | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | Mpk 25 | | Model Number | MPK25 | | Model Year | 2022 | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Keys | 25 | | Platform | Mac | | Product Style | Compact | | Supported Software | Ableton Live | | UPC | 825213002395 | | Warranty Description | 1 year parts and labor. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Akai Professional - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Included Components:** not included - **Model Name:** Mpk 25 - **Number of Keys:** 25 ## Images ![Akai MPK25 25-key Keyboard Controller with MPC pads - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X1W8cpg2L.jpg) ![Akai MPK25 25-key Keyboard Controller with MPC pads - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IyFR-D-RL.jpg) ![Akai MPK25 25-key Keyboard Controller with MPC pads - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71THso3JqmL.jpg) ![Akai MPK25 25-key Keyboard Controller with MPC pads - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uiUpeT0sL.jpg) ![Akai MPK25 25-key Keyboard Controller with MPC pads - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dNJTUwd-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!!!

Not only does it do everything that i need plus more, it is very sturdy. About a month after i got it, i accidentally left it in my outside studio, not knowing that it would rain.

I am highly pleased. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ takes a bit to get used to. pads are USELESS without modification *by M***L on April 26, 2010* The keyboard, and controlling software is great. I really like Abelton Live after taking the tutorials! This comes with a older version of Abelton Live but it is a free download to get the latest version! Works great with my Macbook! The bad part is that the pads are not sensitive at all. I have to pound to the point of hurting my fingers to get any noise at all. And thats to get any noise.. these are supposed to have many pressure levels. I was severely disappointed by the pads until I found out you can modify them for better response. Follow instructions on youtube. Basically you can use layers of tape to put the pad in better contact with the sensor under it. The kits you can buy off ebay to do the same thing are little strips of rubber with instructions. I'd suggest saving some money by using the youtube video and finding the right thickness of rubber instead of using tape layers. After modification this surface is 100% what I wanted. Too bad it come from the factory so amazingly crippled! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/9119208-akai-mpk25-25-key-keyboard-controller-with-mpc-pads](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/9119208-akai-mpk25-25-key-keyboard-controller-with-mpc-pads) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
