It also features 5-pin DIN-MIDI IN/OUT terminals for connecting to external MIDI devices, CV/Gate and Clock terminals for connecting to modular synths, and even a sustain pedal terminal. Whether you're just starting out in creative music production or connecting to studio equipment, the MPK mini plus will meet all your needs.

The included MPC Beats software incorporates the best of the MPC workflow, offering thousands of sounds, drum samples, loops, and plug-in instruments. The MPK mini plus's 37-key Gen 2 keybed delivers a wider sonic range and more lifelike sound to MPC plug-in instruments like Electric and Tubesynth. Plus, connect the MPK mini plus to a standalone MPC device to control Mellotron and Hype plug-ins.
