They had a article about the beta testing saying that more features will be revealed. Plus Reason 5 won't be released until the end of the summer...

The pads aren't sensitive enough and also too sensitive at the same time. Whenever I tried to lightly tap them, they either wouldn't register or they would double-hit. There isn't a whole lot of range between a light tap and a heavy bang. It's either one or the other. Also only the middle of the pad registers a hit. The outside corners not so much. So it doesn't exactly lend itself to one handed operation or quick soft transitions.tone-def wrote:what was wrong with them? at the moment this seems like a novelty idea and i'm sure thats worth the extra £45.jessejames wrote:^avoid. I suggest a Korg Pad Kontrol instead. Yes, more money. But I returned my MPD18 a few days after I bought it. Really bad pads imo.
i want to get an m-audio audio axiom 61 has 8 pads. but it would be nice to have a box with 16 pads... but would i use it enough to spend £130 on the korg?
The Korg is supposedly (haven't used it) years beyond the AKAI. Pads are sensitive all around with more range. Also has other bits and bobs that the AKAI doesn't. AKAI is basically just 16 pads with two faders. Korg has much more.
I've resorted to just using my Novation keyboard as a drum trigger.
i think i'll see how i go with the axiom pads and if i find i'm using it a lot i'll get the korg. the akai sounds useless to me.jessejames wrote:The pads aren't sensitive enough and also too sensitive at the same time.
