  • @ThcMadness No, you can just plug it in to a guitar amp or put headphones in, and use it just fine. I was wondering this myself until I talked to a Guitar Center employee. I'm sure I'm a little late, but I hope I helped.

  • @god1425 thanks for the long ass reply lol

  • @ThcMadness there are no inboard speakers... so no it has to be connected to some sort of amplifier

  • Hi, can someone please help me? Does this need to be connected to a computer to use? Or can you use it anywhere? And I'm talking about alkai miniak (: please reply

  • @synthization Alesis = Akai ! (look at their websites)

  • the pad at 1:35 is in the alesis micron hahahahaha its called elektronique on the alesis micron hahahaha lol

    its like a generic version of the alesis mircon "x,y,z" "two mod wheel" " whitekey shortcuts"

    watch my video "Synth breakdown pt 2" and you can hear the exact same pad being used in the song, the song is called AC 130 INBOUND By Start The Fire Up

    hahahaha lol this would great if it wasnt like the alesis miccron with the shortcuts and other things

    AKAI need new IDEAS ahahahaha

    lol

  • DIscontinued because everyone knows its basically a Micron in disguise. Come on AKAI/Alesis! .... Korg gave us the R3.... Roland are giving us the GAIA..... Novation are giving us the UltraNova..... STEP UP TO THE MARK AKAI!

  • I see a lot of other keyboards there. Do those also work as effective synthesizers?

  • kool stuff pls check out my miniak review

  • @Nukemoose1 very close
