MPD24 Upgraded With Fat Pads | $125 + Ship | Seattle, WA, USA
The MPD24 is in perfect working condition, and has minor wear and scratches on it. It comes with either a 3 ft or 6 ft USB cable, and the original box.
Anyone who has used an MPD knows that they do not have true “MPC” style pads, and just suck to play. mpcstuff.com sells Fat Pads, which are 50% thicker, and very playable, including the edges. Whether or not these feel better than the pads on a Maschine or Push, I can’t say, but I’m upgrading to a Push 2 for the extra features.
$125 plus insured, trackable, signature required shipping from zip code 98125.

The MPD24 is a MIDI-over-USB pad controller for DJs, programmers, producers, and others musicians. Built around the controls from Akai Professional’s industry-standard MPC series, the MPD24 is an expressive and intuitive instrument for the studio and stage.
The heart of the MPD24 is its bank of 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive MPC pads, an Akai Pro exclusive. You can access four different banks of sounds from the MPC pads for a total of 64 sounds at your fingertips. The MPD24 also borrows the MPC series’ assignable Q-Link controllers, enabling you to control nearly any parameters in your software in real time. You get six assignable Q-Link faders and eight assignable Q-Link 360° knobs so you’ll spend less time with the mouse and more time making music. The MPD24 also gives you a dedicated set of transport controls for instant access to the most commonly used DAW or sequencing-software controls.
The MPD24 sends MIDI information over its plug-and-play USB interface so you can use it with your Mac or PC without installing any drivers. The USB connection even powers the MPD24 so the included USB cable is all you need. It comes with a custom version of FXpansion’s BFD Lite drum-studio software so you can start creating right out of the box. In addition to BFD Lite and nearly any other MIDI software, you can also drive any MIDI hardware, such as synths, sound modules, samplers, sequencers, drum machines, and more.
The MPD24 is a fully programmable production and performance instrument with the feel of an MPC’s controls and the ease of MIDI over USB.
