Item Description

The Akai MPK49 USB/MIDI Professional Performance Keyboard (often stylized with a black chassis) is a classic workhorse MIDI controller. Featuring 49 semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, 12 genuine MPC-style drum pads, and 76 assignable controls, it offers an extensive, tactile hardware interface for studio production and live performance.Key Specs & FeaturesKeybed: 49 full-size, semi-weighted keys with aftertouch.Drum Pads: 12 touch-sensitive, genuine MPC-style pads with four banks (up to 48 total pads).Control Surface: 8 assignable faders, 8 rotary knobs, and 8 backlit switches (with multiple banks).Performance Tools: Onboard arpeggiator, Tap Tempo, and classic MPC Note Repeat functions.Connectivity: USB-MIDI (bus-powered), traditional 5-pin MIDI In/Out ports, and inputs for sustain/expression pedals.Compatibility: Plug-and-play operation for Mac and PC; easily maps to major DAWs like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and FL Studio.Typical Used Market ValueBecause the MPK49 is an older, legacy model (originally released in 2007), it is primarily found on the second-hand market.Unboxed with leads: Resale prices typically hover between £100 and £150 depending on cosmetic condition and the seller.Note on Power: While the MPK49 usually draws power directly over USB from your computer, running it as a standalone hardware controller (via the 5-pin MIDI Out) requires a separate 6V 1A DC power supply, which is frequently lost and must be purchased separately.Pros and ConsPros: Highly durable, robust build quality with an excellent array of knobs, faders, and pads that eliminate frequent computer mouse interaction.Cons: The semi-weighted key action can feel rather stiff or "springy" to traditional piano players, and the drum pads can be on the firmer side compared to newer controllers.For a comprehensive video walkthrough of the editing screens, pad banks, and arpeggiator controls, this tutorial breaks down exactly how to operate the board:
