The Akai Professional MPD226 is a USB/MIDI pad controller designed for beatmakers, producers and DJs who want the feel of classic MPC hardware in a portable unit. Sixteen thick-fat RGB-illuminated MPC pads are velocity- and pressure-sensitive, giving expressive control when triggering drums, samples and melodic one-shots in studio or on stage. Four pad banks expand the sixteen pads to 64 assignable assignments, while four faders, four Q-Link knobs and four Q-Link buttons provide 36 assignable controls accessible across three banks. Classic MPC tools including Note Repeat, Swing, 16 Level, Full Level and Tap Tempo bring authentic groove programming to your workflow. The MPD226 connects to Mac or PC over a single USB cable for both power and MIDI data, and it can also control iOS music apps using Apple's Camera Connection Kit (sold separately). A bundled software package with MPC Beats, Ableton Live Lite and Drum Synth 500 by AIR Music Tech gets you started right away. For hip-hop, Afrobeat and electronic producers working from home studios in Nairobi, it is a focused beat-production centerpiece.
