help Akai Professional SynthStation25 FAQ
How many keys does the Akai SynthStation25 actually have?
Despite the '25' in its name causing confusion, the SynthStation25 has 25 mini keys — it's an ultra-compact controller, not a 61-key instrument. It was designed around portability for mobile music-making.
Which iPhones or iPods work with the SynthStation25's dock?
It has a built-in Apple 30-pin dock designed for the iPhone 3G/3GS generation and contemporary iPod touch models, paired with Akai's SynthStation app. That makes it very much a product of its era.
Can I still use the SynthStation25 with a modern iPhone?
Not via the dock — the 30-pin connector predates Lightning and USB-C iPhones by years. However, it can still function as a basic USB MIDI controller with a computer, independent of the dock.
Does the SynthStation25 need its own power supply?
No separate adapter is required — it draws power over USB when connected to a computer. That bus-powered design was central to its grab-and-go appeal.
