on the pages click video to watch product demonstrations!
perfect for laying down beats with the small pad controller and the mini keyboard has propper keys unlike some on the market!!!!!!!!!!
Should all be available in September!

What odds do you think I'd get on betting mode works for Akai?
I'll be ordering some Akai bits soon anyway, thanks for the heads up.

Pretty decent looking stuff.
The top 2 look a bit like the Korg nano series

Just want to point out that the pads on these units suck pretty bad. Better than m-audio stuff, but no where near as good as korg's pad kontrol.
I own the mpk49, btw.
strange, because i prefer the feel of the Akai pads...
and i own a Korg Kontrol49

the pads on the mpk series have a stiff feel to em, but nowhere near as stiff as the axiom ones
the mpd ones are almost comparable to the mpc5000 pads imo
can't wait to get these in the shop to demo em
hopefully the price point on the small ones is close to the korg ones cause i'd much rather sell these
if the weighting on that mpk88 is like the yamaha kx8 i may have to get one

yea matter of how much more the l one vs the korg mini key that is like a laptrop key
