What is Audiobus? — Audiobus isan award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you useyour other music apps together.

Perhaps the most popular keyboard out right now is the Akai MPK Mini Mk2. A lot of people prefer this little machine, and there are more expensive, larger, and superior versions available. In addition to the price, the Akai MPK Mini Mk2 only has 25 keys, so I didn’t want to get it for that reason.

Akai Pro MPK mini mkII - Complete Setup with Garageband. Created: Modified:. The new MPK mini mkII is an ultra-compact keyboard controller designed for the traveling musician and the desktop producer.
Jun 19, 2017 Hi, I'm a classical guitar singer and blues vocalist who wants to start making music at home on my computer. I have a macbook air loaded with garageband and just bought an mpk mini mk2 and really don't know where to start to get this thing going. All I've managed to do is register the thing here at the aka website, have plugged it in and am hearing some sounds come out of my computer.

I was wondering if anyone with the new iPad Pro has gotten the MPK Mini to work without a powered hub? I know on other iOS devices you had to give the device some kind of power but I’m wondering if the USB C port removes this issue. I’m asking because Akai released a new colorway for it and I honestly don’t think I can pass on it. I love my novation launchkey mini but the color on this has me stuck.

I am looking at getting one of these or the Launchkey Mini.
Does the Launckey Mini need extra power too, or can the iPad power it?
I'm using the Arturia MiniLab Mk2 and the iPad powers it just fine.

It’s the only one I’ve used that didn’t felt cheap and didn’t cried for power. It’s made for iOS.
On the „old“ iPad Pro i just need a tiny USB Hub without extra Power for my Akai MPK mini MKII to work.

The iPad can power it. No need for anything extra.

Yea I know that but I’m trying to avoid that. I just want to plug it in like I already do with many other keyboards. I was just wondering if the USB C port changes that

Thanks for the info.
Good build quality is important.
I am thinking the Launchkey is the one I am looking for.

The Arturia Minilab MKII has better build quality hands down. It’s just heavier than the launchkey and less portable due to it’s taller encoders. I liked that you can change the color of the pads using the software on a computer. But the launchkey is definitely lighter and more portable IMO

Notably, the 2.6 update takes Eric’s classic sound design work from the original 1987 Roland D-50 into completely new sonic territory with Omnisphere’s vast synthesis capabilities. New Hardware Sound LibraryOmnisphere 2.6 includes a stunning new “Hardware Library” with over 1,600 new patches created by and the renowned Spectrasonics Sound Development team. Each hardware profile has a corresponding set of sounds in the Hardware Library which were specially designed using that hardware synth as an Omnisphere controller. Omnisphere 2 vst torrent. These inspiring new sounds feature a wide range of categories and many have a distinctly ‘classic’ flavor!
