Midi controllers with pads are used more and more in electronic music, and the democratization of a hitherto relatively unknown practice, finger drumming, only reinforces the legitimacy of this type of controller and of this new way of playing. make music. The Akai MPD 226 takes its full part in this evolution and represents the mid-range of the MPD series from Akai Professional.

The 4 faders, 4 buttons and 4 Q-Link knobs, distributed over 3 banks for a total 36 assignable controls deploy a universal solution to take control of any parameter of your computer music software. To enhance the whole, the Note repeat / 16 level / Full level function keys, inherited from the MPC are also part of the game.
