Akai Professional entered the music industry in 1984 with a single goal: to give artists the tools they need to express themselves and explore new musical possibilities. Since then, Akai Professional products have become a fixture of modern music, both in the studio and on stage.

Their highly popular products such as the Akai MPK Mini Mk2 Compact Keyboard Controller can be seen in use by The Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Fatboy Slim, Nine Inch Nails and many more.
