Been looking into getting a new pad controller. More speficially i am trying to decide between the mpc studio or the mpd226. As far as I can tell the only difference is that the mpc has the banks and presets inside it and can function as a standalone, and also has the full fledged mpc software, while the mpd is just an assignable midi pad controller with a stripped down version of the software. I am more inclined to get the mpd because its 200 bucks cheaper, but I like how the mpc comes with a huge soundbank and can function as a plugin in a daw (i intend to use both in logic x). Considering I intend to use it mostly with logic should I just go with the mpd and used the saved money for third party sound banks/plugins? The mpc software seems bery intuitive, Is the mpd as easy to map in logic x without being able to use it as a plugin? Right now i use ultrabeat to map to my pad controller and its messy and tedious. All suggestions/insight greatly appreciated
