SAY GOODBYE TO KEYBOARD–BASED DRUM PROGRAMMING.
The Akai Professional MPD16 USB/MIDI Pad unit is a dedicated pad controller 
that can be used with any sampler/sound module or sequencer to record and 
play drum and percussion patterns with the expression and feel that only pads 
can offer. 
Equipped  with  16  totally  assignable  MPC  pads  switchable  across  two  banks 
(giving you  the  use of 32 pads)  plus a fader that  can be mapped  to any  MIDI 
continuous controller, the MPD16 is the definitive laptop rhythm controller. The 
MPD16 has MIDI out so that it can be used with any sampler or sound module, 
and also features USB connectivity. 
Each  pad  can  be  set  to  output  MIDI  notes  of  your  choosing  with  a  variable 
velocity range and these can all  be set conveniently via your Mac or PC. The 
MPD16  inherits  some  of  the  MPC  series’  features  such  as  the  full  level  and 
16  level functions  available on dedicated  switches.  The days of programming 
drums and percussion on a keyboard are over.
