AKAI Professional MPD 218 3-stars Reviews

Acceptably Passable Gear

The device is good value for money, but it's let down by its build quality and lacklustre responsiveness. Tested with EZDrummer, Cubase, Logic and Garage Band and playability remained the same and reduced the fun of using it.

Ok for the price, I guess

Mine has problems with the velocity/sensitivity. You have the chance to miss hits unless you really hammer it. I'm not 100% satisfied with this.

You get what you pay for

Like I said, you get what you pay for.

PROS:

*Works

* Gets the job done

Cons:

*Cheap casing

*Pads are not very responsive to touch: they are a little bit to hard so you have to use more force than you want to, thus sacrificing velocity/dynamics
