akai mpd24 review

Rating: 10/10

Hi ive had the Akai mpd24 for a two weeks now and im extremely happy with it.The akai mpd24 is a very solid unit to start with.The pads are just perfect.They are preshure and velocity sensetive wich is what u need in a drum pad controller.
Also the faders are great and the knobs(pots) are endless so they reset if u change to a different vsti.
Also u get transport buttons to control your daw(start)(stop)etc.
Now the best bit the huge lcd screen bright blue just sets this unit off it lets u see easily what preset u are using and the messages that are sent to your DAW.
Also it has 16 levels feature as well as a full level feature wich are great it comes loaded with presets 4 different daws and software instruments + the included editor to make your own presets on or u can make them on the unit itself.
This is a great way to start making your own drumloops no more piano rool editing just bash out a beat then quantize perfect beats all the time.
Also u can use it to control synths and any other instrument.

All in all solid unit with great pads and very good features and a lot of fun.
