![]() ![]() I’m not sure that I would buy one from new and then upgrade it - I’d probably be tempted with a Maschine Mikro or one of the launchpad. I suspect that I’l have to do this now and againįor me it was a worthwhile upgrade to something that I already had. I had to slightly move it around until I got consistency across the pads I was happy with. I’ve found the MPD218 to be very sensitive to the positioning of the sensor sheet. I do get occasional double triggering but seem to get that on every device I own, it reduces a bit if I put a thin cloth between the device and the table its on Compared to the iRig Pads where I know that I’m going to have to hit them harder. I alternate between the two quite happily and don’t feel that it is detrimental to my playing. ![]() I’m not at Rob’s level but I personally found the upgraded MPD218 and Maschine similar.When everything installed including the corx I would say it improved sensitivity - I had 2 Akai MPD218 so could compare across both - have since upgraded both.No complaints here at all - Thanks Rob for all your assistance! ![]() So far, thanks to Robs tweaking advice I quickly get the pads to work in every situation. What I love about the controller is that it provides a genuine realistic feel that translates greatly into the production. ![]() I also orchestrate for film and just tried the Launchpad with orchestral drum sounds, mostly from the Spitfire audio libraries and it worked great. I use Pro Tools mostly for mixing and haven’t tried it with the controller so far but will do so in the near future. Productions are mainly done within Logic or Live and the sounds come from the logic drummer, native battery or bfd 3. I was used to keyboard drumming before, so I utilize the same sounds as before but now it feels so much better. I was worried, I’d have to buy a Native Machine just for the pads but so far I really love the sensitivity of the Launchpad.Īlso, 64 pads are a nice bonus and the real estate works also very well. Just started out a few weeks ago with the Launchpad X due to Robs recommendation. ![]()
