The MPD232 is sleek, lightweight and sturdy enough that you can throw it in your bag and know it will survive even the most vigorous of journeys. Additonally, it now includes MPC Beats.
The Akai MPD232 can be effortlessly programmed via the included Preset Editor, so musicians of any level can improve their performance instantaneously. This is one of the many things that differentiate the Akai MPD232, 226 and 218 midi pad controllers from everything else on the market.
