The MPD18 is the most portable, easy-to-fit MPD for your setup. This
MIDI-over-USB pad controller for DJs, programmers, producers, and other
musicians. Built around the pads and controls from Akai Professional's
industry-standard MPC series, the MPD18 is an expressive and intuitive
instrument for the studio and stage.
The heart of the MPD18 is
its bank of 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive MPC pads, an Akai Pro
exclusive. You can access three different banks of sounds from the MPC
pads for a total of 48 sounds at your fingertips. The MPD18 also
borrows the MPC series' assignable Q-Link controllers, enabling you to
control nearly any parameters in your software in real time. You get an
assignable Q-Link fader and an assignable Q-Link button so you'll have
natural, hands-on control of your most-used parameters.
The
MPD18 sends MIDI information over its plug-and-play USB interface so
you can use it with your Mac or PC without installing any drivers. The
USB connection even powers the MPD18 so the included USB cable is all
you need for portable production. The MPD18 can control nearly any MIDI
software, as well as MIDI hardware, such as synths, sound modules,
samplers, sequencers, drum machines, and more.
The MPD18 gives
you the control feel of the MPC in a super-portable instrument with a
compact footprint that's easy to fit in any setup.
