Tried to order replacement pads from MPC stuff for my MK2, and shipping to Europe is like 60$, and then there will be import tax too so for 120-150$ I will just skip it, because it's not worth, and I won't buy it anymore.

Your honesty is much appreciated and much needed in today's world ❤😊

Great stuff!

Welll done! Is the akai mpd218 working with phone or tablet in android??

NIICE!!

Watching your video as an engineer (hw & sw) and your description of the differences between devices, even of the same type, triggered quite some bells in my head. Very, very good feedback and method of evaluating devices. As a company I’d hire you as a product tester. 👍

The real question is what would the AI say Sweet Home Alabama is in?

Since I lost my Roland R70, never finger drumming again. But, this Yamaha FGDP is quite interesting if it has functions such as: rolls, repeat, after touch, positional pad, etc. Thank you for sharing your playing style.

Thank you for this recommendation. I just got mine a few days ago and with addictive drums it becomes totally addictive. The control coupled with the detailed samples of AD makes it a joy. Can’t stop drummin’ 😊

Hi. How to open "Native Instruments Maschine MK3 Control Panel" on mac?

I just picked this up Used. First time Synthesizer user, I initially bought the MicroBrute but I saw this on sale (black friday) and have been wanting a Launchpad or something to finger drum on. Any thoughts? bad mix? Doesnt matter? Only started, almost everyone said to get the MicroBrute as a "Beginner Synth", got it, sounds "nice" still a WIP but I was really lacking finger drumming so I saw this and just Ordered it on a whim, as an early Christmas present to myself.

And then this guy died

Is this a good match for looping? I have the hand Sonic 10 which I currently use, but something with a smaller footprint might be a little fun and practical.

So the 30 has a human female voice? Awesome!!!

hello , what daw are you using , its look like fl studio with FPC , thank you for the demo .

Eu gostaria de comprar o curso mais não encontrei em português

The best teacher. Made me feel confident I can learn with practice. Just subbed in hopes to find more content that explicates in this simple manner!

I lived through the disco era. I'm here to tell you that your song is better than anything that came out of that era. No lie.

When u conect it to a computer do u need to set it up or it's just plug and play as I just bought the exact same keyboard but I don't have any use to the knobs on the top even when I use serum they don't do anything

I've been finger drumming my whole life as a phenotype of ADHD so having an instrument built from the ground up to do just that is pretty awesome, especially with the built-in speaker and sounds. I love how much more I can get done with the computer but I hate how much more easy it is to get distracted or derailed by analysis paralysis. I'm somehow more creative with less options, and the FDGP 50 gives me that right out of the box, with the added functionality of being able to plug it into a computer later when the idea evolves into something more. And the big "space bar" style pads for the kick and snare work perfect for my style of finger drumming, which comes from banging on my desk in school as a kid. The traditional pad setup on every other controller is too small for how I naturally want to play. This is why I started looking at the Roland Handsonic, which I was just about to buy until I found the FDGP 50. I like all the extra bells and whistles of the Handsonic but they're not worth the extra $900. I'm going to use the FDGP 50 which also has hand drum kits for African, Egyptian, and Indian music and feed it into my Boss RC-505 loop station. They've got a Black Friday sale running for $60 off. At that price, I can't say no. It's also interesting that only the 50 is on sale. Not the 30. It makes me think Yamaha is going to leave the 30 behind and make the 50 the entry level model with a new and improved 70 coming next year or the year after. I think this series is going to be a dark horse game changer!

More people need to spend their time helping lift others up and less time with needless gatekeeping. Music is a gift we should all share.

¿Have you tried new budget stuff lately, what about the Avatar EMP 16 and Synido TempoPAD? They're on the $90 range.

What should my layout look like if i only have 8 pads total? i have a 2x4 akai mpk mini

Believe it or not I've been playing real drums for YEARS and the Moeller technique never made much sense to me when explained ,nor felt ergonomic at all - YET - the way you just explained it was so conscise and accurate (even though it was even the focus of the conversation) that I tried it on the table right here and it worked for the first time...! Thank you for inadvertantly helping me unlike a technique that can be amazing when applied properly!

Your videos are actually super useful 💯

Thanks for this video!

Yoo man! Thanks for the video, enjoyed a lot.

I’ve try to play drum with my MPD218 for last few years after i found this channel. Finally i upgrade to Maschine MK3 Mikro and i should say i can play now how i want. Sensitivity of the device makes a huuuge difference. Thank you again for the path and inspiration

I use fl studio as well but i really wanna get tight with my Mpc

Complimenti ma il sound che si ascolta nel video sono kit che si trovano già nella yamaha? Cioè dono della macchina il sound?

Ho una domanda questo pad midi controller si può collegare nel mio ketron sd40 via usb per pilotare i suoni ?

How do i route the pads to the Maschine mixer using the separate outs function in Addictive Drums 2? I have the pads set up for Ext1 etc but everything still comes down the first mixer track like one whole kit? Any ideas what to do?

very informative . Thank you!

You're the best channel on this subject for like every beginner. Thank you for your amazing videos and teaching style man

what hardware would you recommend for my play-style? (I am a noob) I do not like to arrange etc. www.youtube.com/@MajesticZMR it would need to be simple and each action accessible while live playing ...

My mpd218 has been unused for about half a year now because i need to hammer the pads so hard. Definitely going to try this mod now.

Well! i had to accept reality and take down my electric drumkit for space, this seems like a great compromise , looks really fun , will have to check out your site

Would you say that the Roland hand percussion one is much better in terms of sensitivity (maybe due to larger surface areas as well)? I always wanted to try that one but it's expensive and I am not that much of a drummer but always curious on ways to add more humanization to rhythms. I really like the price of these though... was disappointed to hear that the minimum sensitivity isn't that great. Any feedback is appreciated!

Many Thanks, I actually bought the new sensor sheet from MPC, but didnt end up using it as after a really good clean of the sensor contact pcb with isopropyl alcohol everything worked great. Thanks for the breakdown it gave me the confidence to take my MK3 apart.

Great class!!!

Just got my MPD218 and the problem I've encountered is opposite to most comments here: the pads are too insensitive. Normal tapping won't trigger pads at all. Instead I have to tighten my wrist and arm to gain enough strength to produce the sound. Much harder force required than playing the piano at the max volume. I don't know if it's the normal behavior of a pad controller since it's my first device. I'd like to know what is the normal level of sensitivity. Have tried all methods mentioned here, including unscrewing and applying layers of tapes, but pads just seem as dull as before.

Why did you expect the mikro mk3 to be a game changer when you already had the mk3?

What computer was it connected to? Mac or PC?

Hey !! nice video...tks for the tips!! question: are you BoBeats brother??? you guys look quite similar 😄 cheers

The best way to fix it is to just return it. In 2024 these are now useless, nothing helps. I just bought an mpd226, that's $150 in the garbage.

what about yamaha fpdp50

Awesomely done
