Last Updated on June 20, 2022 by Nick

With the audio production market now full of control surfaces, Akai is relying on the classic look of its MPC range to make the MPD32 stand out from the crowd. It’s bigger than its predecessor, the MPD24, offers more controls and sports a more pleasing black/dark grey colour scheme. The Akai Professional MPD32 controller gives you 16 MPC-style pads, an array of assignable knobs and faders, and DAW transport controls, plus, it integrates seamlessly with your DAW for easy, effective recordings and beat production.

According to several user reviews, they have praised an Akai Professional MPD32 for the Quick to set up and edit; Uncrowded controller surface; Wide range of parameter assignments. Also, some users have complained it for the No power supply in the box.
