![]() ![]() Not an easy accomplishment with pad controllers, in my experience. But, when you start actually using them, they feel great, while still giving you a feeling of solidity. The rigidity, when the units are off, before you play them, makes you think they are going to be the usual, insensitive stiffness. I even found myself playing a lot of chords, which I normally reserve for keyboard controllers, as opposed to pad controllers, but these felt really good, and the layout and mappings, by default were very comfortable for me. I quickly found myself having some really wonderful jam sessions with drum patches, arp patches and pads, alike. I am thoroughly impressed, when in either the normal velocity-sensitive mode, or when I’m pressing the very helpful, FULL LEVEL button (which makes every pad hit at the highest level, no matter how hard you hit it). Let’s get it out of the way, first: the pads are amazing. Let’s take a look together and see how both devices work great for both your computer. In this quick review, I’d like to draw your attention to two of the new, USB controllers from Akai, the MPD218, and MPD226. Akai Professional has been on quite a winning streak with a line of controllers that both look incredible, while at the same time sporting some very thoughtful extra features. ![]()
