Akai MPD218 Midi Pad Controller

The innovative Akai MPD218 Midi Pad Controller has been ingeniously developed over several years of comprehensive customer research and user feedback. The result is the most interactive and user-friendly pad controller Akai Professional has developed to date.

Building on the success of Akai Pro’s previous MPD18 the new Akai MPD218 pad controller has greatly enhanced control capability to support the artist’s creative efforts. The MPD218 Pad Controller has 16 configurable presets, 18 assignable 360-degree potentiometers accessible via 3 banks and is iOS compatible using the Camera Connection Kit which can be purchased at an additional cost. The MPD218 is sleek, lightweight and sturdy enough that you can throw it in your bag and know it will survive even the roughest gigs.

The Akai MPD218 can be effortlessly programmed via the included Preset Editor, so musicians of any level can improve their performance instantaneously. This is one of the many things that differentiates the Akai MPD218, 226 and 232 midi pad controllers from everything else on the market. MPC Beats is also now included with the controller.
