I recently bought an Akai MPD18, which I finally got working, and am now nearly obsessed with (if your in the market for an inexpensive pad controller, I'd highly recommend it - great value for $99!).

The main reason (for now) I bought the controller wasn't to launch clips in Ableton, but to fill Fruity's FPC with different samples of a song, and do some live remixes (videos soon!).

The problem is that FPC supports two banks of 16 pads. So basically if I want to use a different bank in FPC, all I have to do is choose which of the 3 banks is active on my MPD, and now instead of having 16 samples, I have 32.

What would be nice is if there is some VST that supports 3 or more banks (ie: 48+ samples). Are there any that do this?

(And yes, I suppose having 48 individual samples might sound a little rediculous to keep track of in your head, but why not try it anyway? )
