I have one and I love it. The pads are the same as on a mpc, which feel very nice although you do have to hit them fairly hard to reach full velocity. But the great thing is that you can turn on "full level" to have them always hit at 127. Also it has a built it arpeggio that is awesome. It also comes with presets for a variety of DAW's so there is virtually no setup if you have one of these. It basically has everyone except logic for some reason. But it isnt too hard to setup logic to work with it. And the keys feel nice to. All and all I would definitely recommend it. If you need a larger keyboard you could always go with the 49 or 61 but if you need something portable or just dont want to spend the extra money you cant go wrong with this keyboard. I think its well worth the money.

One guestion more!

Is it good to use it with Fl studio or is it better with Reason i know it maps by itself but i mean i use both of these programs and i'm just wondering ?

**nickwright35** · 03-23-2012

I have only used it with ableton, logic and pro tools but if sure it works equally as good with both fl and reason.

I have a MPK49 and I love it, doesnt feel cheap and its built like a tank. I have no regrets buying it and plan to keep it for a long time (have had it for over 3 yrs). The pads are a little stiff but theres a cheap mod to fix that, I just ended up buying a LPD8 to fix that problem.

I need help guyss!!! I bought my MPK 25 finaly knobs and everything work but i can't get my pads to work with fl studio?

They might note be playing the right notes, you can change the note that each pad plays by: click the pad you want to change, click edit, select note and hit enter, then change the value. If FL has an option to "learn" notes you can use that. Im not a FL user so I dont know but it works perfect with ableton and all my NI plugins.
