Hi All

Has anyone compared the pads? I wonder if they have the same mechanism and if not - how that affects fingerdrumming experience.

Thanks

In my experience, you‘ll never go wrong with Akai‘s pads. I‘ve used LPD8 and MPD 18 (the predecessor of the 218). Although I‘ve never compared them directly since I sold the LPD before I had the other one, I felt right at home. And meanwhile I got used to 16 pads. :)
