Akai MPD 32 and VCI-100se - Good together?

Yup, they dont have LED's, which is a bummer, the LPD8 leds are lovely.

you need rotary encoders if you would like to use the knobs for more than one function, e.g. with a modifier. That way the control will pick up from the value currently in the software rather than a midi value sent via the hardware.

as far as mappings go, you do not need a mapping that includes both pieces of hardware. you need a separate mapping for each device, you can even have multiple mappings hooked up to one device. Say, a mapping for each bank on the mpd 32.

So does that mean the mpd24 won't let me use a modifier with the rotary knobs?
