do you really need that feature? :lol:

I'm glad I didnt cop the 24, this 32 might just replace my 2kxl.

I feel very angry now with my MPD 24, when i see this one. They should made all those options on MPD 24.. Even those transport buttons, which doesn't work with Reason on MPD 24.. That's ultra - llame. And black colour of new - one is so sexy.. Damn :cry:

My MPD24 Transport buttons work with Reason 3 and 4. Did you setup the MPD24 Remote files in Reason?

If it wasn't for the MPD24 thier prolly wouldnt be a 32. Plus u know how Grimey Wakia gets down.:wink:
Sell it now on Ebay while you can still get at least $150-175 for it.

Is it just me or does this seem like pretty much the same thing as the 24...? I see two extra sliders...

I did everything, and it didn't work. Are you sure? Look at google how many ppl have problems with those buttons on Reason.

the only problem i see with replaceing my 2kxl with a 32 is because it doesnt sequence i still use my 2kxl to do more than jus bang on .. but if i didnt have it i would definately look into that

The MPD24 doesnt have a transpose option? or pad banks..?

yeah, thats true, I still do all my midi sequencing in the 2kxl. I said that because I use the mpc as a controller for the PC sometimes and sometimes I feel like I'm just using the mpc like a mpd. But I dont know for sure, its still up in the air because Im kind of interested in a mpc2500.

Positive FAM! I use mine all the time. The transports work on my mac and pc.

Matter of fact, I think you may have missed out on the updated Remote files Wakia has on the site.

Download it and Reinstall.

F*ck what a novice user tawkin bout on Google... :roll:

The only thing I had problems with was my K7 knob sending midi signals on its own, but I fixed Wakai real good for that :twisted: :twisted: :lol:

And was blessed with a new one. But transports worked for me on the other one too.

The MPD32 has very thin pads, so I wasnt feeling it so much

There is some footage of the MPD32 In this video. I think if the price of it is at 400 bucks you are better off finding a used MPC 2000 and just rocking that for a controller. However if the pads can be changed in the MPD32, its a pretty solid controller.

Yep, they can be changed. The MPC 2000 padz should fit no problem.
I put the MPC 2000 pads in my MPD24. They gotta be the same setup

Good vid BTW! The first one I actually enjoyed watching.
Especially the Reason Freakin @ the End :lol:
