Used Gear Conditions

Condition 1 - Mint Condition

This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and returned to us in virtually new condition, however its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory. Also, it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. If you're looking for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is a great value. We feel so strongly you'll like what you see, we're including our 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee to this used product making it a no-risk purchase.

Condition 2 - Gently Used

Very Good: This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and shows few, minor signs of use. In most respects it looks and performs like new and may be considered equivalent to display units found in retail stores. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 2 products are a terrific value and you can buy with confidence knowing our 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee applies to this used product.

Condition 3 - Good Condition

This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips, dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 45-Day Satisfaction Guarantee applies to this used product.

Condition 4 - Fair – Needs Repair

This instrument or product is not in working condition and needs repair, but can be brought back to full functionality with replacement of parts or some skilled repair work. If you are a do-it-yourselfer or know a skilled repair person this is a terrific value. Condition 4 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.

Condition 5 - Poor – Parts Only

This instrument or product has been damaged beyond what we judge is reasonably repairable. It's best used for spare parts or to practice repairs on, and at this price Condition 5 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.

Product Details

Akai MPK61 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller

The MPK61 is a keyboard performance MIDI controller that expands the popular MPK line. Each MPK controller combines a piano-style keybed with a bank of genuine Akai Professional MPC pads, assignable Q-Link controllers and key technologies from the iconic MPC family of music production workstations.

Producers, performers and DJs will appreciate the MPK61's mix of 61 semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, 16 MPC pads with velocity and pressure sensitivity, 72 assignable Q-Link controllers, MPC Note Repeat, MPC Swing and an arpeggiator. The MPK61's size is ideal for performers who need a larger keyboard than the original 49-key MPK49 offers, but also prefer the lighter weight and associated portability of a semi-weighted keyboard. The MPK61 retains the key split features from the MPK88, enabling you to divide the keyboard into two zones for performing with two different programs at once.

Like its 25, 49 and fully weighted 88-key siblings - the MPK25, MPK49 and MPK88, respectively - the MPK61 empowers you to create and manipulate melodic, harmonic and rhythmic content and inspires creative production with its arpeggiator, MPC Swing and MPC Note Repeat technologies.

The MPK61 comes with Ableton Live Lite Akai Edition software, one of the most popular and powerful performance and production programs worldwide. Ableton Live Lite enables musicians to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. The MPK61 is a MIDI controller that sends MIDI data over USB for plug-and-play performance with Mac and PC. Because they are MIDI compliant, the MPK series works with virtually all MIDI recording, sequencing, and performance software for musical performers from keyboard players to producers to DJs and VJs.
