General
There's a good reason why Akai's MPD lineup has such a huge following: its outstanding concept. These controllers are perfect for beat makers and producers who prefer the old MPC workflow. However, Akai is one of those companies that feels there's always room for improvement. They spent six years developing this new edition of the MPD232 USB/MIDI controller, and the result speaks for itself. This controller is a perfect partner for producers, beat makers, musicians and DJs. Filled with buttons, pads, sliders and knobs, its control panel has an overall professional look.
Characteristics of the Akai MPD232
The MPD232's sixteen thick pads are backlit and sensitive to both velocity and pressure, making them perfect for creating grooves. Eight sliders, knobs and buttons are also at your disposal, as well as a channel strip. As they support various banks, that amounts to a much higher number of controls than a brief glance at the panel suggests. A large display keeps you informed, and helps you out while you adjust your settings. Unlike the MPD32, the MPD232 is equipped with a step sequencer, providing you with even more options. With a maximum of 32 steps and 64 channels, you have plenty of tools for banging productions.
