The Akai MDP series works great alongside standard midi vinyl and mixer emulation! Check out my review:

And I still need some decent headphones arghh..!
Regularly check Craigslist, and be original with your searches. Some people don't have a clue what the gear is used for. Try "akai", "studio monitors", "monitors speakers", "reference monitors", "krk", "mackie", "m-audio", "korg", "alesis", "dj".. people list this stuff under all kinds of things. I found the MPD24 and KRK Rokit 5s for 1/3 of their retail prices on craigslist.

Some deals aren't that great, but you can sometimes find fantastic deals.

I haven't had as much luck with ebay because of all the online competition. Good luck!

I saw several of the same reviews you did about the pads being nasty. Since Akai brags about the MPDs having the same pads as the MPCs, I don't believe there is any differentiation.

I've seen the same reviews you have about Akai pads. I've read the Korg padKontrol has more sensitive pads than Akai's most sensitive setting.. from people who have owned both. I believe this to be true.

HOWEVER, I believe it's ridiculous that some people say the pads are crummy. I read a few bad reviews on the pads from MPD24 owners.. but after getting my hands on the controller.. I realized that it was all a little ridiculous. The MDP24 is sensitive to light touches (even to touches on the corners of the pads). Hope this helps!

This is what I was looking for, good call
question: do you know if there is a difference in 'feel' between 24 and 26 pads? The pads seem to get some nasty reviews on some websites..
