Just wanted opinions on how the pads of these two units compare.
I was thinking about picking up an AKAI MPD18 (I'm looking for a basic pad controller with just pads and a tap tempo button), but then I went over my boy's house recently where he has an MPK49. This is my only hands-on experience with the AKAI midi controllers, and i was really surprised to find that the MPK49 pads were extremely difficult to play. You had to damn near hit these things with a hammer to get them to trigger... super tough.
So does anyone know if this is a similar problem with the MPD18??
Appreciate any input I can get.
