Akai MPK 61 - Keyboard MIDI Controller
Akai MPK 61
Is here anyone into playing keyboard ? I never had one, and now I'm thinking to get the one above.
Quite a few years ago I was in a music shop where they had many different keyboards on display, and I started playing around with one of them and got sucked in so much, that approx 3 hours later I was still fiddling about, lol.
Well, as I said, I need to learn from scratch really.
So I figured there is a difference between MPC and MPK keyboards.
MPC = a stand alone sampler / workstation
MPK = a MIDI Controller
Meaning, a MPC comes with a number of sounds while a MPK needs to be connected (via MIDI or USB) to a PC first.
Whith software like Cubase 5.1 Portable or FL Studio 9 & some good VSTIs the whole world of digital sound opens up.
By the way, the Akai MPK comes with either 25, 49, 61 or 88 keys.
Of course there are many other brands like Roland, Korg, Casio, Yamaha, etc ..
Got any experiences on that field ?
