Creative Tools That Spark Ideas
MPK Mini IV is designed to turn inspiration into music faster. Scale and Chord Modes help you explore melodies, harmonies, and progressions without limits empowering your creativity instead of slowing it down. Scale Mode keeps you perfectly in key by locking the keyboard to one of dozens of scales so every note fits your songs mood, helping you discover new tonalities and progressions. Chord Mode transforms single notes into full harmonies, triggering lush chords with one finger and building rich progressions in seconds perfect for songwriting, topline ideas, or instant foundations.
The Arpeggiator, Reimagined
More than a tool its a creative playground. The enhanced arpeggiator lets you sketch riffs, grooves, and evolving patterns that sync perfectly with your session. Choose from seven play modes, including Chord Mode for full-range repeats. Sync via USB, full-size MIDI, or tap tempo with swing. Hold your pattern while improvising freely over it with Freeze. Keep it fresh with Mutate, introducing evolving octave shifts and rhythmic variations. Add dynamics with Pattern and Edit modes, injecting accents, ties, and ratchets using the MPC pads. Your arpeggios dont just loop they evolve.
Connect to Everything
From modern DAWs to vintage synths, MPK Mini IV connects wherever creativity takes you. Plug in via USB-C for instant computer integration or use the full-size 5-pin MIDI output to control your classic gear. No adapters. No limits. Just pure, uninterrupted creation.
