Akai MPK25 Vs. MPD 32 ?

[dunbar]

Was considerin upgradin my mpd 24 to a 32 soon to give extra knob assignment for a live situation. Then along came the MPK 25 into contention. Although im guessin the pads on the mpk will be sub standard to an mpd?

What to buy?

if you really smack your pads I would stick with the mpd. the mpk pads are a little thin. I have the mpk49 and enjoy everything about it, but not my live tool of choice.

Bought the mpd 32 recently and like it very much. Pads are not brilliant but ok and replaceable with pads delivered by mpcstuff.com.
And its a great controller...check out this vid...:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31AFfyPXUKQ

Yea man nosaj thing is the shit, was actually that very vid that got me intreseted in preforming using an mpd as i have an mpd24 already tho its has its limitations in comparsion to the 32. Think its famous amongst the ableton heads! Tho jus thought the addition of a few keys at my fingertips might have been useful.

Time to save the last few pennys and buy the mo fo
