MPD32 "XL" Pad Upgrade(w/ pictures)

Right now I have it setup soley as my drum rack in ableton & reason.. It could very easily be mapped for a live performance setup and then the layer saved so you could switch between a dj/hotcue mapping and the more commonly used drum rack as another mapping..

Personally for the little money I have in the MPD it serves me very well, ESP for the price..

That's cool. I was actually considering this for a controller to DJ on with Ableton. Seeing that you have an APC 40 as well which would you suggest I get? The one thing I like about the MPD 32 is that it's bus powered and it can also double as a controller for drum racks. Hmm...decisions decisions..

My APC is just a beast all around. The thing j loved about the APC is it was truly pluginplay, and the layout is so practical and just works great.. I personally think if you are a live user, you should a 20 or 40 at one point or another because they work sO well.

Ok that helps sort it out. Now it's either APC 40 or VCM. Lol
