SPARK IDEAS WITH CREATIVE TOOLS With intelligent Scale and Chord modes, MPK Mini IV is built to keep your ideas moving. These features aren’t just shortcuts; they’re creative catalysts that turn sketches into songs. SCALE Mode Never hit a wrong note again. Lock the keybed to one of dozens of scales and every key you play fits the vibe. Discover tonalities and progressions you might never have written on your own. Chord Mode Turn single notes into full harmonies. Play rich chords with one finger and sketch progressions in seconds. Perfect for topline ideas, creating harmony, or laying down instant foundations. THE ARPEGGIATOR, SUPERCHARGED We designed the arpeggiator to be more than a utility: it’s a sketchpad for riffs, grooves, and unexpected ideas. Lock in patterns, flip them on the fly, and sync seamlessly to your session. With Freeze, Mutate, and stepped dynamics on the pads, your sequences don’t just loop—they evolve. Play it your way Explore seven arp play modes, including Chord mode for keybed-wide note repeats. Keep it fresh Mutate adds evolving octave jumps and variation. Stay locked in Sync patterns to your studio equipment via USB, full-size MIDI, or tap tempo with swing. Hands-on dynamics Pattern and Edit modes let the pads inject accents, ties, and ratchets into your 
arp pattern. Freeze and flow Play an arp pattern while you improvise freely over it with the keys.
