    A great controller and excellent value.

    If you're looking for an inexpensive, quality pad controller for finger drumming or punching in drum parts to your DAW, this is the one. The pads feel great and are responsive with just the right velocity sensitivity. It's also full featured and very easy to use. Setup is a breeze and the parameters are easily adjustable with the free MPD218 editor software. Well worth the price of admission.

    My Favorite Akai Product

    It's really responsive with zero lag between hitting the pads and triggering the midi notes. And there's no ghost hits either like some of its predecessors (hitting one pad and triggering another pad because of its sensitivity). There's three different pad choices so you can have 3 different mappings. Compact and light weight for gigs. I like Akai, their midi stuff is almost always solid. This is probably my favorite piece of gear by them.

    Great Product it’s everything that I expected. If you are familiar with the software and DAW’s provided then you’re really gonna have fun.

    Be sure to carefully download and extract all associated software. Takes a while but once you get it up and running there’s a lot this simple machine can do.

    Perfect for Studio 1 Impact Drums.

    This unit matches up well with Impact Drums software within my Presonus Studio 1. It makes loading drum tracks incredibly easy. I will use it a lot.

    Probably the best drumpad, but durability is a concern

    Probably the best 4x4 pad in terms of actually playing it seriously, and live/actively with real drum sounds. Only dings a star for durability - don't expect it to last more than 2 years of heavy play. I'm on my third. USB jack tends to fail.

    The Best Pad Controller!!

    This is by far the best controller to make your music tracks hit hard and stand out! I sometimes use it more than my mpc studio, it is very light weight and can be carried anywhere. Its the perfect tool to make music on the spot with your software. I use it with MPC Essentials.

    Pads double trigger often

    I wish I had checked the reviews on this product before I purchased it. Most of the reviews I've read spoke to the fact that the pads double trigger often and there's really no way to correct it. I would not recommend this product unless you are good with electronics.
