Akai Professional MPD226 MIDI Pad DAW Controller

Akai Professional MPD226 USB MIDI Pad DAW Controller lets you set up your music creation to fit the way you like to work.

Akai Professional MPD226 MID Pad DAW Controller starts with the same 16 MPC pads that have inspired music producers to recommend Akai Professional gear for decades, and it only goes uphill from there.

RGB backlighting behind those pads makes it easy to color code your layout, which is especially handy when you’re switching between four banks of pad assignments.

On the other side of the Akai Professional MPD226 MID Pad DAW Controller, there are four sliders, each with an assignable button and encoder.

You can use these to set up track controls, ADSR envelopes, EQs, and much more.

Top it off with classic MPC Note Repeat, dedicated transport controls, and a killer software package, and the Akai Professional MPD226 MID Pad DAW Controller is a creative goldmine.
