Wouldn't it have been easier to do it from the top?

Do the knobs and fader caps come off easy ?

bro whats that sample in the end lmfao good stuff you know that shit was fire

about to do this. great music btw

Did you make the music in this video? Sounds pretty good.

Nice 8 minute video of how to screwdriver.

Hey, you mind telling me some good sensitivity an threshold settings with these pads? I have the fat black ones on my mpd32

broo whats the sample at the end ??? thank u a lot !

Great video man, really helped me :)

nice video thanks for the info ("

Thanks for this

the beat is ill in the backround sounds like a video game sample

what song is playing in the background?

@Caspi Boni you can't. Their's no way. You have to go through the back to get to the pads.

can you not just remove the front off and replace the pads? rather than going through the rear..

Good stuff; bought the thick blue pad set. This video was a great help; I used to pull apart my mpc's to throw in hard drives, memory etc.. and since getting into the pad controllers I got rusty and leery of gutting my gear.

I want to eat exctasy!

God damn, what's the first track called?

I ended up needing to unscrew 19 screws at that second round of unscrewing...good tutorial nontheless! My MPD works much better now

yo, great tutorial, you wouldn't know how to replace the faders do you? One of mine is worn out =[

Thanks for the vid. I'm considering upgrading the pads on my 26. Dope sample chop at the end.

I tried this and it does indeed work, got more of an MP feel now. Good lookin out

@aceyoung8 a little song by TOKiMONSTA... she released it for a remix contest with all the stems... great little track...but pales in comparison to her usual material.

@TheVelocirapp3r Its compressed air you could buy at your local computer shop. its just used to get rid of dust.

What did you spray at the end (after you installed in the new pads)? And what's the reason for that?

Hey man! nice tutorial. I was wondering how u kind of load a sample (could be a wav-file) into a specific pad. I'm working in reason 4, but can u load sounds onto a pad without being in a music program . Thanks :)

@GRIMZBEATS I don't know of the name sample. I downloaded it from some website that held a beat battle with that sample.

Thanks for the vid, helped me change my pads over. What's the sample you had loaded on the pads at the end of the clip if you don't mind me asking ?

@calikiddable opening the mpd voids the warranty. open and mod it at your own risk

@con0ner just pull them out. just pull straight up they won't break there made to be pulled off.

@VinceRaspo just pull them out. just pull straight up they won't break there made to be pulled off.

bro, tracklist please? :D

whats the name of the song at 4:00?

@eduardoRYT nice ;) make sounds :D

What song are you sampleing at the end when your teying out the mpd. Sounds really cool id like to flip it.

How do you take the little mixer things off? I don't want to break it!

@ForestDweller80 My computer just crashed so i don't have the exact title of the song. But its a beat remixed by Diplo.

What's the song at around 4:30? Thanks.

@roboedar It's a Beat made by an artist called TEEBS from My Hollow Drum not sure what the name of the beat is.

question... kinda off topic but the beat in the video- who made it? how do you get that fluctuating sound? like that oldschool nintendo-esque sound.?

@esk8r62 You should get some THICK FAT RED PADS! I just bought some for my Akai mpk 49 keyboard and they look sick! It's so bright it motivates me to use my keyboard more often.

thnx bro!!! i was could a iffy about buyin some new pads cause i knew i was some hidden ribbon somewhere

what instrumental is that?

daaaaamn after u fliped it over that makes me wanna get the black ones they are dope lookin!! im bout to geth the thick fat pads tho i cant wait. what u think Red or Black?? kinda wish i could get the glow in the dark green ones or the Blue ones in the thicker style tho

@eduardoRYT yes you would need some type of DAW(digital audio workstation) to use your akai mpd 32. To name a couple "Ableton live 8", "Reason 5", "FL Studio" will allow you to use your akai mpd 32. Google it.

haven't tried this yet but when I order my parts I will be following this video. Thank you for taking the time to do this dude

@HerfavoriteDj Thanx alot bro...appreciate da info! I think ima go with da pad upgrade along with the pad corx!

@xsothrowedx I own a mpc 2500 and a akai mpk 49 and i did the $15 corx pad upgrade and made a huge difference. It really does make your pads more responsive and sensitive. The only reason I decided to pay the extra $20 on new pads was because the pads on all the mpd's and mpk keyboards don't feel like the original pads like an MPC. But yes if you get new pads you should buy the corx pad's along with it since you go through all the hastle of installation.

Hey bro...I have the akai mpd 32 also and I juz wanted to know did u upgrade juz to switch pad colors or is that upgrade like da corx also? Im wanting to get the corx so my pads will be more responsive and sensitive and im juz wanting to know if the pad ugrade does the same as the pad corx?
