Hands-on controls for mixing and more

Akai MPD232 Pad Controller is more than just a pad controller with 16 big, playable pads. A combination of eight sliders, eight D-Link buttons, and eight encoders lets you blend levels, automate pan and mute settings, and rapidly dial in a visual EQ or numerous ADSR envelopes. Akai’s 30 presets for key DAW features making it simple to set up your controls. With three control banks and 72 assignable controls, the Akai MPD232 lets you easily dial in your favorite program.

Develop grooves with the onboard step sequencer

The MPD232’s 32-step sequencer lets you create epic grooves without sequencing software. This 64-part step sequencer can sequence every pad event. If you’re acquainted with old-school step sequencing, you know how useful it can be while producing music in the studio, and if you’re performing live, it can either take over your rhythm or fill in the background as you play on the pads. The MPD232’s sequencer is a great addition to any arsenal.

From your studio DAW to your modular live rig

Unlike other pad controllers, the MPD232 has hardware MIDI outputs. MIDI-over-USB is class compliant, so you don’t need any extra software or drivers to connect the MPD232 to your favorite applications or iOS apps. Yet, many of us here are always looking for amazing pad controllers that interact with other MIDI devices, which is why we love the MPD232 and its sequencer. Whether you perform with a tabletop full of modules or just want to add pads and hands-on controls to your keyboard, the MPD232 is a great complement to your live gear.
