The pads on MPD's are mounted way too low and you have to leave them on full level (MIDI full velocity) to even use one.
You can I believe make the assignments permanent in FL but it's more work and I forget how at the moment). Then save the mapped FL file as a template. (In FL you would likely leave the assignments as is on the MPD and use FL's controller linking. It's a handy thing to have if you use a lot of plugins and are willing to take the time to map them. 30 individual presets can be saved to the MPD itself and changing the MIDI CC assignments on the controls is dead easy and can be done right from the face of the unit. 8 fader, 8 knobs and 8 buttons and 3 banks to toggle between to arrive at 72 separate controls. The MPD 32 has a total of 72 assignable MIDI controls. If you're still debating I'll offer up my opinions having both a Maschine MK1 and and MPD 32. Why? Did you go for one or the other and regret the choice? Thanks! Oh, and if you're wondering a question about this make sure you've read the thread I posted. All of the videos over the MPD32 are super freaking old too.
Instead of two screens, 8 knobs, and 8 buttons. Is the MPD capable of programming those? On Mikro you can change all of that but it doesn't have the knobs it has the oh so wonderful NAV knob and 2 buttons. As for the maschine it has 8 knobs and 8 buttons at the top and the pitch, tempo, and swing knob which are SUPER useful for live shows or recording. I'm not a genius with the MPD but it's got all of those switches and knobs, and that I love. But the reason I'd prefer an actual Maschine or MPD rather than the Mikro is because all of the knobs. I really like the Maschine devices because it has the glowing and step sequencer. Because she's going there tomorrow and I'd be sad if she gets it and oops I wanted the MPD. It's a really hard choice that I need to be made soon. Except I own a DAW (Fl Studio, not to mention plenty of samples) and I have Massive.
#Akai mpd 24 vs akai mpd 26 software
The Mikro has the Maschine software which is like a DAW itself. I told her to surprise me on which to get. The MK2 is more expensive so if that's the one forget it. I told her if it has a picture of all orange pads that's the MK1 and if it's colorful pads that's MK2. A music store near me has a catalog (list no pictures) of stuff they have and it said Maschine Mikro but didn't say MK1 or MK2.
So I said forget it go ahead and get the MPD32. All the ebay offers suck and are bids so it's no chance for me. Leider sind hier nicht alles Tasten verfügbar, einige auf dem Nummernblock, z.B.Įin recht ordentlicher Controller mit leichten Verarbeitungsmängeln, wohl der Produktion in Fernost geschuldet und einer Firmware, die, falls zu Ende gedacht, aus dem guten einen sehr guten Controller gemacht hätte.Hey guys, I invite you to read the thread at viewtopic.php?f=18&t=161816 before this. Es zeigt nur den Namen des gewählten Presets an.Įin nettes Feature ist, dass man die Buttons mit Tastaturkommandos belegen kann. Schade um die Verschwendung.ĭas recht grosse Display gibt im Betrieb keine Auskunft, welcher Controller gerade bewegt wird oder welche Daten er sendet. Schade ist, dass der Entwickler sich bei der Firmware anscheinend nicht wirklich Gedanken gemacht hat:ĭie Tasten für den Stepsequencer (immerhin 16 Stück) lassen sich nicht mit CC oder sonstigen Befehlen belegen, so auch die Sequencertasten. Die Editorsoftware wird nicht wirklich benötigt. Mit Hilfe von selbstklebenden Filzstreifen unter die sechs Gummifüße konnte aber Abhilfe geschafft werden.ĭie Pads, Fader und Rotary-Encoder lassen sich ordentlich bedienen und weichen vom Kraftaufwand her kaum voneinander ab.ĭie Bedienung und Programmierung ist selbsterklärend. Es wackelt etwas auf dem Tisch (auch auf dem Boden, also der Tisch ist gerade), was schon etwas nervig ist. Funktionen zum Ansteuern der DAW oder der eingebaute Stepsequencer werden nicht verwendet.ĭie Verarbeitung ist in Ordnung. Ich benutze das Gerät nur zur Ansteuerung von VSTi per Midi CC.
