According to our MIDI controller expert
Are you looking for a MIDI controller with which you can edit and play drums and samples? Then the Akai MPD226 is for you. On the screen you see which parameters you adjust from a sample. This keeps you overview during production. The MIDI controller is also ideal for the traveling producer or live DJ. Because the pads are illuminated you also work in a dark environment on the MPD226. The 16 drum pads are velocity sensitive. This makes the controller stand out from soft touches. You link the 4 faders and knobs to effects or other parameters within your DAW.

Because the instrument has several fun features, many music rhythms, different beats, really top quality

The drum pads randomly register double strikes on single hits. This takes the whole flow out of making music and means a lot of repair work in the DAW sequencer. Unfortunately I do not recommend this product. The looks are good, the device looks solid, but the core of the thing, the drum pads, are not usable for me. Tried all velocity settings and also gain settings to rule everything out, but to no avail. I don't recommend this one and keep looking. I now simply opt for a Coolblue choice. I hope I can help you further with this review.
