I've watched a million videos of people on mpc's and they never miss the pads or hit the wrong pad,this always happens on my drum machine !Click on the link below to see the SMALL pads :cry:

I plan to buy a mpd 16 to control the pads since they're the same size as the MPC.So do I just midi them up to control the pads on my BOSS dr-880 ?Can someone explain this to me.

Yup, MIDI out from MPD->to MIDI in DR-880.
You may need to assign MIDI numbers to each, ie Kick=36, Snare-37, etc....
I've never messed with the MPD so I don't know much about it, Just read all of your manuals and you should be fine.

check the mpd 24, hear the pads are nicer. the ones on the 16 are hard as rocks.

Save up for an MPC. It's a big investment, but after reading a few of your posts here on the forums, it seems like it would solve a lot of your problems.
