    Default Akai mpk mini knob mod solution!!

    Hey guys recently i have found the solution for the little ass knobs on the mpk mini. I have done it to my own and i have pictures with the DJTT chroma knobs on the mpk mini as a replacement of those micro knobs that come with it.
    If you would like instructions or a tutorial video of how to DIY please respond to this post.

    I have a question, is the picture a reflection? What the hell are your knobs doing on the side in the first place?

    The picture show the knobs to be on the left side on your controler after a second look the writing is backwards so i'm asuming the picture is just flipped. The picture just caught me off guard, thats all.

    Well I used the S2 knobs that I had left over from switching to chroma caps. They still need a little piece of tape inside to get a better grip. I've used the mpk mini in every gig and holds up pretty well....check it out on this instagram url...
