Can you use the buttons as controllers while Time Division is on?
chav
is it usb?
Yes, it’s USB.
can you assign all pads knobs etc to traktor? for eg use the pads for play pause cue?
The pads are terrible. You have to basically slam on them to get sound out. This is due to an air pocket underneath the rubber padding.
I have one and the pads are great
The pads are fantastic, if you turn the full sound on then you barely have to tap them…
yes.
.
why not, its all midi so it should do the job
Great Review, nice job!
No mention of the quality and feel of the faders, knobs or buttons.
Man it looks cool but its so complicated. I will never be able to learn that stuff. Does anyone use this with FL studio? Whats your experience with it?
I have just spent an afternoon opening up my MPC1000 to try and fix the pads and a broken button. Just about had it with my MP. Would like to check out the MPD32 but how are the pads?
@uptightkid the same
u can’t sample with this right? U have to up load ur samples?
@microcrubeguy yup, this is just a midi controller; all the sampling you do with it will be software based with AbeltonLIVE or dj software cue points
Yes chopping is done through your computer.
can you use this with logic?
Truth is that the MPD32′s pad sensitivity really sucks =(… I got one and I was sooo dissapointed when I noticed it needed actual hitting rather than just touching… however, after i opened it and “reinforced” the pads with tape the sensitivity improved dramatically =D so I’m really happy now XD… Anyway, if someone tells you that this is THE pad midi controller, it’s a lie… unless you tweak it’s a punching pad…
@jvoltios Ya I noticed that with this thing as well… But you can also adjust it so that the velocity mode is turned off I believe. Either way, how much tape did you put under each pad? I’m picking one of these up off of a friend so I might need to tweak it myself.
this was a little bit tricky… at first i went kinda crazy on the tape XD but realized that the pads had so much on ‘em that they “activated themselves”… it didn’t sound but the signal was recognized in the screen flashing like crazy XD…
I removed a few patches from each one and voila… I believe it depends on the tape u use and i’m not really sure how many patches u’ve got to use… also, once you get to open it… it’s kinda tricky too since the sensitivity varies with the screws on and without them… in the end is up to you…
@TornTech lol fl studio
@TornTech … everythin takes time to learn, I think you could learn this in like a week if you really set to it bro
