    Theres a lad on adverts selling a 24, and a lad on gumtree selling a 26. The 32 is the daddy though. I’ll report back if I see one pop up anywhere.

    Whatever you get, don’t forget to upgrade the pads.

    I did it on my MPK49 and the difference is night and day.

    They're great controllers. I have the MPD32, and adimtedly it was an impulse buy that I was unsure if I really needed. I can happily say Id be lost without it now. Its totally changed my writing workflow. I havent done the pad mod yet, its not massively essential for the way I use mine but I probably should do it all the same.

    Anyway best of luck with the search, they're a great piece of kit.

    Whitts, an AKAI MPD is a MIDI controller, so it will work with any music software that supports the MIDI protocol.

    Ableton Live
    Reason
    Apple Logic
    FL Studio
    Sonar
    Cubase
    Pro Tools

    They can be used in a DJ/Performance style too. With Ableton Live, you can use a MIDI controller to controller whatever you like, in whatever way you like.

    Here is Nosaj Thing rockin some of his tunes with Ableton Live and an MPD, remixing on the fly..
