This controller is dope. For anyone that wants to get the sensitivity high on each pad, go to the menu, page 3 and set each pad to channel =10, curve=soft, Threshold=10.
Finally a Drum pad Controller that has a "16 level" button!!! Not sure why all modern drum pad controllers over look this button/function... I have retired my AKAI MPD 226 for this very portable version that has a very similar layout. Love the size of this thing! about the Size of my ipad mini.
Can you upload percussion sounds to this for live performance? I’m a bass player and want to be able to hit some chimes and 808s every now and then while we play
They're quite sensitive. I forgot to mention that you can also adjust the threshold and velocity curve settings, so you can adjust how sensitive you like them.
What program do you need in order to use it on the iPad via Bluetooth? I’ve been trying to connect it to the Bluetooth on the iPad and it’s not showing up on the list of devices
@@mel9823 I would imagine Logic Pro, or any other app that supports bluetooth midi. Probably Koala Sampler, though I haven't tried that. But I think I saw a video of someone using it.
The thing I do not like about my AKAI MPD16 is the pads need too much heavy force to make a reliable hit. It's functioning as it was designed to do, but I wish I could use a light tapping technique instead, to suit a synth player. Also two fingers per pad to do rolls etc does not work reliably, and the edges of the pad are dead spots.
