What i did notice is on the mpd 16 you can only have two pad bank changes..............the trigger finger gives you 16 different midi assignments (pad banks)....man, i wanted to keep it akai too, but if it works, it works.

i work at a used music store, and we have a bunch of used 1000's as well as a couple akai mpd-16's. if its note to busy i'll try and test it out tommorow.

i was thinking about getting the mpd-16, cause used it would probalbly only be about $100. but it seems lke the trigger finger destroys it in every way.

you said the pads feel just as good (and responsive)?
hmmm....
