Making a Song with the Built-In Sounds on the MPK Mini Play mk.3
The Built-in keys, synth, drum and bass sound on Akai's MPK Mini Play mk.3 are really good. These presets blew me away the first time I used them. They're tweak able and customizable and a lot of fun to use when you're songwriting or making music. In this video I want to show you a song that I made using only the built-in sounds on the MPK Mini Play and show you how I mixed and produced the track in Logic Pro.

Hey friends! Check out the next video where I try to make a whole song with one synth: th-cam.com/video/Pmmwxn2l6aI/w-d-xo.html
Hey nice video ,, I'm going to grab this in a couple days , I'm wondering what software and if I should grab a laptop or PC or Mac lol thanks man I'm just getting g started
I don't even care about the sound production of that little keyboard, I just like the idea of learning to master your chord playing by restricting yourself to only "two octaves!"......You will discover that inside of two octaves, you can play any Jazz chord you want (with chord inversion knowledge).....Very exciting to learn with AND to groove with!
"2 octaves" you know you can use more channels when it comes to recording, right?
@@tonym.villacruzvillacruz5728 Yeah, I just talking about improving your chord understanding by restricting yourself to a small range.
There is one with 3 octaves for 40 bucks more. I just want to make sure it works just as good with Linux software thats free.
Great video! You did an amazing job explaining every use for the MPK mini
oh wow, this sounds so good! I'm definitely getting this MPK for myself! BTW I love your videos
found my self rocking back and forwards while listening for the first time. This a really chilled riff
I have to admit that when I first saw reviews of the keyboard, I wasn't really impressed with the sounds but you brought up a really good point about how it was a really good introduction to the basics of using synths and this really changed my prespective on the mpk mini play! Great video dude, keep it up!
Appreciate the comment, my friend. Yeah, I definitely like this for beginners or mobile producers. Having your midi and synth basics covered with one battery-powered, mobile device is pretty cool!
@@PatrickBreenMusic what computer app are you using
@@PatrickBreenMusic I bought it. And it is completely pointless. The 'play' has no sequencer, so you have to connect it to something anyway to use both pads and keys. I wish people brought this serious flaw up more. Could have saved me some money.
I like the generosity you show by explaining detail by detail! you are a good teacher, can you please put more videos that explain how to use MPK miniplay!
RESPECT from Amsterdam
I actually just bought one of these yesterday, and it should be arriving next week. It’s honestly amazing how much this little $120 device can do! Can’t wait to start jamming!
Thanks again Patrick. Love this sound 🙌🏻
Thank you!!
Defo buying this, going to be amazing to build live loops with
Great demo! I don't need it but now I want one. Thanks for the great videos.
Yeah man, it's a super cool little keyboard! FAR exceeded my expectations. Appreciate the comment and kind words my friend!
The best about the akai mpk mini play I ever found! Thank you very much Patrick for this serious, fascinating and engaged presentation! Peter from germany
Man, the music you make I can listen on loop for hours
Appreciate that my friend! Very kind of you!
it gives me Saturday morning time to clean the house vibe. This reminds me of the 90s.
@@PatrickBreenMusic I'm not interested in making beats just wanna download beats from TH-cam ect and rap over top ..what do I need....thnks
Same.
@@thesaviorofALL nothing wdym
I just bought this a couple hours ago, I always loved music and want to learn. How to make it. Need a hobby so I bought this from the store at the suggestion of the clerk. After listening to what u made I’m so ready to Learn u made this sound this good
Thanks for your comment Gregory! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I'm excited for you to start your music journey! Keep at it, music is the best thing there is!
This beat is straight fire. You're a legend.
Appreciate you brother!
Awesome explanation and examples I might try it out
Amazing what you did with that little keyboard👏👏👏wow
Fantastic! Very good video.
The filter is such a great feature
Awesome!
A small but mighty device! Sick demo, bruh. Also appreciate the wardrobe change.
Much love my bro!
Akai should be sending you a check for them how it’s done excellent tutorial/demo
Appreciate the kind words, my friend!
VERY HELPFUL! Thanks.
Great Vid!!
Just acquired the Mini Plus!!
I enjoyed the video the little piece of equipment is really nice
Great video - very educational - thank YOU
Excellent, I´ll use your videos to introduce my son into the music world. Thanks.
Thank you ! I'm thinking of switching to this model for my future loop covers 🤔
This video is amazing!
Appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it, my friend!
Great video, thank you
Great video... Thanks!
great video im sold
Thank you for sharing 👍
That beat starting at the 1:30 mark is fire!
Well done. You’ve convinced me to order one…..
The durms sound great
Bro this is dope and refreshing.
Appreciate that!!
I wish i have that ,i love it
Thanks alot. Got this gear, coming today. Already watched your tutorial 4 times. Thanks again
Ok so how do I get my stuff that I play on my Akai to get on the software and how to get it to go on the software.
I’m using Mpc beats
Love your stuff - - -
Thanks Bill, appreciate that man!
Thanks for this clip. I would like to learn more from you.
thanks man
Brilliant video I just bought this and now I’m so happy I did thanks man
New sub 🙌🏼😎
Thanks for your comment, my friend! Glad to have you!
Hi man, I don't have a pc, how can I save the loops of the drums? Using just internal sounds
I thought the music you made was beautiful. Don't care that it's youtube. Don't care that it's been made on a little budget keyboard. Don't care if it was just a demonstration. You were making really beautiful music. The best I've heard someone create on youtube.
I wanted to say it because I can't believe no-one else has... but then everyone is interested in the little keyboard....
This was a great video, just ordered one! Perfect for my needs, accompanying guitar with a looping set up. I also share your love for devices that simplify the music making process, I'd love to see the other companies attempt something along these lines.
I was thinking about getting this to use with my Boss looper and guitar set up. Did you try that yet?
@@scottdenmark3577 Yes, it definitely works pretty nicely for such a small footprint and low price.
That's what I was thinking of, do you need a DAW with it or can it work standalone?
@@BookerTDooku It can work without a DAW, I just plugged it straight into a looper.
Great video. Planning on getting one. Can you make a quick video on how and where to connect it? Thank you.
Got myself one on Sunday, coming today! 😃 Great song btw!
Enjoy it! Appreciate the kind words my friend 🙏
@@PatrickBreenMusic 🙏
That is a sick beat though!
Thank you bro!
Nice video, please make more about the Mpk mini play!!!
Great
Really great video
Appreciate that, my friend!
Thanks!
Appreciate you!
Those are also my favourite sounds. How cool is that you can adjust the GM sound samples. Thanks Akai
Sick!
Appreciate that my friend!
Subbed after hearing this sick beat
Appreciate that!
Superb overview. This video convinced me to be one for each of my 9 year old twins. You made it look like mere mortals can be creative with this. Thanks!
NICE! It almost had a Woods, by Mac Miller vibe in the beginning.
Obrigada por colocar a legenda em português. Ganhou mais um inscrito. 🥰
Nice sharing. thanks..
Is it possible to upload new samples into the trigger pads?
Also nice with built in sounds and battery. Can play it with head phones on the train to work 😅
Great video. What DAW are you using?
Great demo! Thanks for sharing. Did you know you can play midi from your daw back through the mini play and record that for more complex playing!
Wow that's awesome! I did not know that, but it makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
@@PatrickBreenMusic no problem... I got mine to play back on 2 different midi channels (ie 2 different sounds) out from Ableton, and play a third sound "live".
I'm going to buy as a starter keyboard. The knobs are just a great pro compared to a simple Yamaha.
Thank you.
It was helpful.
What sound program did you use?
Avez-vous connaissance du programme ?
Wonderful demo track.....do you have your final track? thanks,
It would be really great if you can make a tutorial on how to usevthe software...
Awesome video my brother , I got an MPC One and Arturia drumbrute and this exact model is my next purchase, it's small but mighty wow , it's different than anything else I seem , can this work with Ableton Live lite ?
so you're just recording your sounds directly to the daw? I saw some videos where it seemed like they recorded the drum sounds within the device. were you able to record sounds that way?
What is the difference between the play and the regular mpk mini?
Am from india nyc xplanation
What application did you use in this video? Great demo btw man!
Logic Pro. Thanks my friend!
Nice demo! How long did it take to create this track?
Nice video, Patrick! Quick question, how did you use the internal sounds of the mini play III? I've hooked mine up (USB) to Logic and can't figure out how to use the internal sounds of the mini play. thanks for the video! 👍🏻
I recommend getting a 3.5mm Stereo Breakout Cable, like the one I mentioned in the video. I have one linked in the description as well. Plug the 3.5mm into MPK mini Play and then plug each 1/4 inch into an input on your audio interface.
@@PatrickBreenMusic Wow! Thanks Patrick for such a quick reply! I assumed that it would work with the iMac headphone jack (tried numerous 3.5mm cables but none worked). I'm a complete beginner with this and didn't buy an audio interface - really hoped the internal sounds would work by just connecting it to the computer, but it's much more complicated than I thought and the AKAI website doesn't really provide tutorials, so thank you so much for your help otherwise I'd be lost! 🙂 Thanks again!
Hey I need help. I have this keyboard plugged into a Scarlett solo by an interconnect cable (the one he recommended) and then that plugged into my laptop however I can’t hear any of the sounds on any DAW (tried MPC, Bandlab, GarageBand) and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong?
Like 800!!!!! hell yeah boys!
Subbed
What's that desk monitor and light??
Just ordered one of these...i will be using it on its own for recording...not through a computer. I tune all my guitars down a half step to e flat. Are you able to tune this keyboard down a half step?
😃🎹💪
What program is best to begin with if you want to try out producing?
what is a good DAW that's free? And what is the software that you use?
How do you add the piano sounds to the keyboard?
Hi! Awesome stuff!
Noob question here since I'm new to music production, in the DAW are those midi tracks? Or instrument tracks since you're using the built in sounds. Thank you!
Hey!
All instrument tracks (except shaker). I recorded this using the patches on MPK Mini Play.
@@PatrickBreenMusic I appreciate the reply brother! I'll add this awesome machine to my live looping rig! Thanks!
What software do you use?
Should we worry about Proposition 65 with this product?
Hi!! I have that same MiDi player, but I don’t know how to use the internal sounds on the Mac. Could you please tell hoy?
Thanks
What other tools I can use for play back recordings
Is possibile add sounds ti the internal sounds?
Hi thanks for the video. To get the internal sound of this midi in my daw, do I need an audio interface ? Thanks !
Yes
Whats is better mini or mini play?
Fast question, is the sound from headphones out ok? By ok i mean with decent low noise floor, or is noise audible im sounds???
Can you plug it straight into a stage amplifier? I’m a guitarist and would love to have that on stage with me
Wow-this is super cool. How do I get started making music without being a keyboard guy.? What software is needed?
I would look into a free DAW - If you're on a Mac Garage Band is free and comes with Mac OS.
Thanks! 🙂
Does it make sense to have several (2-3) midi keyboards?
Hi there! Ok, short answer is: You really only NEED one Keyboard (and "need" is a term I'd use loosely!)
Longer answer: At the end of the day it's all about preference. Do whatever helps you have the most fun making music (and whatever is also within your means, obviously.) If all of your needs are met with one keyboard, then don't spend your money on an additional midi keyboard. You want to focus on features and choose a keyboard or keyboards whose features suit the music you want to make. I like this new MPK Mini Play because of the built-in sounds - it's a feature that is not usually offered with Midi Keyboards at this price. However, for someone who doesn't care about that added feature, this keyboard wouldn't make sense. If all you want is the Midi Keyboard features, you should just get the MPK Mini or something similar. Does that make sense?
Personally speaking, I have a few midi keyboards in my studio that get used regularly. One has full sized keys, the second has a built in sequencer and is small enough to fit on my desk, and the third is a mini keyboard that I can bring everywhere. All three have different features but all do a lot of the same things as well. I don't NEED all three. And I certainly wouldn't spend my money on a duplicate piece of gear if there was something more important I needed for my studio. But I've accumulated these keyboard over years of making music and content, and it's nice to have 3 keyboards that offer different features. Hope that helps! (Probably more than you asked for hahah!)
@@PatrickBreenMusic Thank you very much for such a detailed answer. 🙂
@@abu_hashem My Pleasure!
I have one use case - I am using software called Grand Orgue which is basically sampled church organ and I am using two MIDI keyboards as two organ manuals.
how do you loop with it, like the way you did keys then drums. Just got one and can’t figure out how to do it on the mpk mk3 play?
What software are you using plz?
Which app you use for making music beat
You say there are preset internal sounds in the MPK Mini3. How do I get them to sound, or where do I find them?
Can you use it as a controller for other sounds?
What software are you using with your MPK Mini?
