AKAI Professional MPD18 - USB MIDI CONTROLLER

(This text is machine translated) The MPD18 is the smallest controller in Akai Professional's MPD line of pad controllers. Designed for DJs, programmers, producers and musicians who want to insert sequences and samples into their performances, this 'MIDI-over-USB' controller can launch samples, control software and more. Its very small footprint makes it suitable for seamless integration into virtually any stage or studio setup. The heart of the MPD18 though are its 16 pressure and velocity sensitive MPC pads. Users can then access three different banks of sounds from the pads for a total of 48 sounds at a time. It also takes the assignable controller from the MPC series, allowing you to control virtually any software parameter that allows it in real-time with the Q-Link fader or buttons. The MPD18 connects via USB and is plug & play for both Mac and PC. The USB connection also supplies power to the unit, which therefore does not need an additional power supply.
