Creative beat performance with a real MPC feel

The Akai MPD218 is a USB MIDI controller with a 4x4 MPC pad matrix and 6 assignable knobs, each with 3 banks. This gives you a total of 48 MPC pads and 18 freely assignable 360° knobs. The pads are backlit in red and have good pressure and velocity response. The MPD 218 has only one USB port, which makes it very easy to connect to an existing setup. The USB port is also used for power supply and data exchange. The connection is also Class Compliant, so that an iPad with the Camera Connection Kit, for example, can also access the functions of the Akai MPD218.
