Akai MPD 218 question

Is someone have tested it?

It has aftertouch,so for the price…

Would like to know if the knobs are fast (To be clear,can we do a 0 to 127 in one movement?)

Thank you in advance

I use this controller with Rack, and it’s been great. There’s a solid editor to tailor the MIDI signals used by each knob and pad. Aftertouch is fully supported. I’m not sure if the knobs (endless encoders) would meet your expectations for responsiveness, but I’m sure they could be modified in Rack with an Offset modular or similar.

Theres a module for that😉 https://github.com/stoermelder/vcvrack-packone/blob/v2/docs/MidiStep.md

The responsiveness is also really good, since those are endless potentiometers, not encoders, so they have 128 steps with one full rotation (same as NI Komplete Kontrol series)

NI Komplete ‘knobs’…hum hum…I have returned the 49…Awfull knobs for live…There is a sort of ‘Brake’…and make a o to 127 in one movement is impossible.

thank you all for the answers
