| Lesha Roan 23.06.2011 | i've got one, it's a great controller. the pads can be a little under-sensitive but you can adjust the sensitivity in the software that's comes with it, and modding or replacing the pads with ones from mpcstuff.com is super easy if you need them to be more responsive. another big plus is that just a little bit of changing the midi messages gives you the 6 faders and knobs, then four banks of 16 pads with different midi messages so they won't conflict for 76 total controls in traktor or whatever you're using. i use a numark mixtrack with a basic .tsi for my main mixing and scratching and random other functions, then use the mpd26 for effects wet/dry, three knobs to each of the first two effects, a bank of pads for sample deck playing, bank B for looping controls, bank C for cue juggling, and bank D for more effects control, filter on/off, eq kills, etc. if you're using it as a sole controller you can get all the basic stuff done, but using it in conjunction with another deck or your keyboard for basic transport controls it really shines. |
