New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
When I'm not writing about all the coolest tech items and awesome gear on sale for Prime Day, I'm a musician—a terrible musician, but a musician nonetheless. And the Akai Professional MPK Mini MK3 MIDI keyboard is my go-to, must-have gear for making bad music.
It's the choice of many bad musician, because it's fairly inexpensive, and because this MIDI keyboard and Garage Band or FL Studios are all you need to fuel some bad music production and terrible beat-making of your own. Throw in a cheap USB microphone and you too can record diss tracks aimed at your then-10-year-old son and drawn from your lengthy Mario Kart rivalry.
Bad musicians used to have to rent whole studios to record terrible music, but no more: The Akai Pro only costs $83.99 ($79.79 for the red one, for some reason) right now. Amazon's users have rated it 4.6 stars out of 5, and there are over 28,000 reviews. That's a lot of bad musicians!* If you want to join them, hurry: The Prime Day sale is practically over.
Seriously though folks, it's a great product that I mess around with just about every day: simple to use, with 25 velocity-sensing keys, drum pads, programmable dials for virtual synthesizer control, and way more. It's everything you need for basic computer music recording.
*Akai Professional MPK Mini MK3 midi keyboards can also be used to make good music. Or so I have been told.
