We are now tracking a series of notable price drops on MIDI keyboard controllers. Whether it’s for your upcoming Mac Studio content creation rig (the just-announced 5K Studio Display is already on sale) or a machine you already have, the deals are now starting from $59 on some of the best brands out there. First up, Amazon is now offering the AKAI Professional MPK225 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller for $199 shipped. Regularly $269, this rare price drop knocks $70 off the going rate on one of our favorite models. And if you’re looking to go even bigger, the 61-key variant is also on sale for $399 shipped, or $100 off the going $499 rate. The AKAI MPK series has been a staple in our best of yearly roundups for a reason. The robust keys and deep feature sets are made for the long haul and look great in just about any content creation studio. Features include semi-weighted keys, eight (or more) RGB backlit drum pads, assignable MIDI controls, USB connectivity, and compatibility with all major DAWs. Head below for more discounted MIDI keyboard controllers from $59.
