Review: 想像以上に良かったです。 まず、何よりも37鍵盤というのが、自分には最適でした。 plus 購入後、すぐに「mpk mini IV」が発売されましたが、 plus は、37鍵盤の上、機能的にはほぼ上位互換、なので、残念感はありません。 （打鍵感がどうなのか気にはなりますが） また、持っている多くのdawや音源に対応できてありがたかったです。 キーボード部についてはいずれも問題なく使えています。 ただし、ソフトによって、ノブとパッドの対応ができなかったりしています。 ノブを含めて、概ね対応できたものは、「Arturia analog-lab pro」 「NI Kontakt 8」「NI Komplete 15 Select」 （「Komplete Kontrol」はそれなりに便利です） ノブが対応できていないのは「Reason13」、 「KORG m1 v2」「KORG opsix native」あたり。 ※「Reaper」と「Falcon」「SynthMaster」については忘れてしまいました（現在手元にないため） 特記事項として、今回購入した「mpk mini plus」と 以前に購入した「mpk mini mk3」両者の特典を利用して、 2種類の「NI Komplete 15 Select」（BeatとBand）を無料で入手できました。 大盤振る舞いと言えるのではないでしょうか。
Review: 知り合いの社長にある祝いとして買ってもらったんだけど 機能としてコンパクトなのにこんなにも機能が詰まってるのはいいと思った！ 機能がありすぎてまだ使えてない機能がいくつかあるほど

The included software MPC Beats, can launched as its own plugin within Cubase as a VST. This software contains pre-mapping for MPK Mini Plus.
