Review: In the right hands, this is a great MIDI controler! - I'll start off by saying that I'm a performing musician (woodwind and brass instruments) as well as a composer and arranger who works with music notation software. I bought this hoping it would help me in writing percussion parts. I have returned it. Having said that, however, I am very impressed with what it can do and recommend it for people who work mainly with Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software. As a MIDI controller it has amazing capabilities and can work to control other MIDI devices such as synthesizers, modules, lighting and much much more. All of which make it a great tool for performers who work mainly in the rock/pop/rap/hip-hop/ska fields. It's compact, it responds nicely. The sensitivity of the pads can be adjusted only on a global scale, so either all the pads are very sensitive or not very sensitive according to how it's adjusted. I didn't use it enough to see how accurate the reviews which mention accidental double-strikes or accidentally triggering pads which aren't the ones being struck are, but I can imagine that if the sensitivity is set so that very little pressure is needed it would be possible to get responses from pads which aren't the ones being struck. The user should (as with all musical gear) spend a lot of time practicing with this device before trying to perform live with it. The price is a lot lower than many other drum pads so this is ideal for people just beginning to investigate the use of this sort of device. The sounds which come with it and the software that can be installed with it will be great for some but they left me less than impressed. But that didn't bother me and shouldn't bother anybody else because most people who will be using this will have their own preferred sound libraries to be working with. What this is NOT -- this is NOT a replacement for an electronic drum set. This is NOT an inexpensive device for learning to play the drums. What this IS -- it is a MIDI controller with which a person can create beats, with which a person can control other devices.
Review: Great Akai product - It’s a typical Akai product. Durable, responsive, compatible, and comes with loads of bonus software. The pads are a little stiff. I gotta smack em purdy hard but they just need to be broken in. It’s compact and looks dope. Doesn’t feel too light and cheap or too heavy and out dated. Very durable. Connects via usb. Plug and play all day. If you travel bring it with you on the plane and plug it up to your laptop and you’re back at it. If you’re looking to run it as your main drum pad tho in a home studio setup drop the additional $100 and buy the studio MPD. This is definitely for travel purposes

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a Mpc activation code**
A: Yes

**Q: Can u use with out laptop**
A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! No, MPC Studio is a MIDI controller and requires operation with a computer at all times. If a standalone beat sequencer is something you're looking for, we recommend using the MPC One. We'd love to assist further, please feel free to contact us - amzsupport@akaipro.com

**Q: Is this mpc studio version considered to be the mkii model of it?**
A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! Yes, this is the MKII version of the MPC Studio with an all new build, look and feel - Not to forget, the all new touch strip!

**Q: Can i record samples from my vinyl collection and use them with this? if so, do i need other equipment? i have a turntable and a solid mac computer.**
A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! Yes, the included software (MPC 2) is suitable for capturing audio from your vinyl collection and will allow you to trigger the samples using MPC Studio's inbuilt pads. If your current turntable does not feature a USB interface, the use of an external phono/line-level audio interface (sold separately) will be required to appropriately feed the audio into your computer. We'd love to assist further, please contact us directly - amzsupport@akaipro.com
