MAPPED TO MOVE WITH YOUR DAW

Whether you're making your first beat or need better control of your studio equipment, MPK Mini IV is your launchpad. With 1-to-1 control mapping for most major DAWs and two-way screen feedback, this keyboard puts every move at your fingertips.

SPARK IDEAS WITH CREATIVE TOOLS

With intelligent Scale and Chord modes, MPK Mini IV is built to keep your ideas moving. These features aren’t just shortcuts; they’re creative catalysts that turn sketches into songs.

SCALE Mode

Never hit a wrong note again. Lock the keybed to one of dozens of scales and every key you play fits the vibe. Discover tonalities and progressions you might never have written on your own.

Chord Mode

Turn single notes into full harmonies. Play rich chords with one finger and sketch progressions in seconds. Perfect for topline ideas, creating harmony, or laying down instant foundations.

THE ARPEGGIATOR, SUPERCHARGED

We designed the arpeggiator to be more than a utility: it’s a sketchpad for riffs, grooves, and unexpected ideas. Lock in patterns, flip them on the fly, and sync seamlessly to your session. With Freeze, Mutate, and stepped dynamics on the pads, your sequences don’t just loop—they evolve.

Play it your way

Explore seven arp play modes, including Chord mode for keybed-wide note repeats.

Stay locked in

Sync patterns to your studio equipment via USB, full-size MIDI, or tap tempo with swing.

Freeze and flow

Play an arp pattern while you improvise freely over it with the keys.

Keep it fresh

Mutate adds evolving octave jumps and variation.

Hands-on dynamics

Pattern and Edit modes let the pads inject accents, ties, and ratchets into your 
arp pattern.

A CONTROLLER THAT CONNECTS TO EVERYTHING

Hook up to classic synthesizers and studio equipment with a full-size MIDI output jack, or plug straight into your computer via USB-C. No fuss, no adapters, no limits.
