pads most of the time - but looking forward to using my midifighter for sample decks and cue points. not as simple as either/or it depends on what u want to do with them i reckon...

pads for drumming, sample decks . arcade buttons for cue point juggling. Im glad I have both. I use both for different things.

launchpad is great for general controllery stuff tho - esp with the multi-color led feedbacks. lpd8 is pretty good for drumming - if only it had more pads

yup. now i have my midifighter+launchpad+lpd8 to compare... the arcade buttons are really nice but wouldn't say they're better than the launchpad, just different. for drum programming you can't beat a touch sensitive pad that doesn't have to be pushed in like the lpd8, so i'll always prefer to use that for playing live beats as well as sequencing. i'd probably like the midi fighter more if it had variable color buttons and more of them... it's probably the best for fast cue point stuff tho - not that i need that.

Download the mapping and files on this and play around. http://www.djtechtools.com/2010/04/1...-point-juggle/ I probably lost 30 hours of vacation playing around with it...

I just realised, shouldn't keys be an option up there as well? :P

I generally prefer pads as they have a tremendous amount of flexibility and I like the feel of quality pads. I don't really know how others feel about the Maschine pads, but they've been great to me!
