$50 And You're Making Beats | Akai MPD218 in 2022?

The Akai MPD218 pad controller has been on the market since 2015 and there’s an abundance of used units for sale. Combined with MPC Beats or Ableton Live 11 Lite you can get started making beats and composing music for a minimum investment. This video explains how to use the MPD218 with iOS apps like Koala Sampler, BeatMaker 3 as well as popular DAWs on a laptop or PC. I’ll walk through the MPD Editor, presets and features and compare the MPD218 to newer budget midi controllers like the MPC Studio and NI Maschine Mikro MK3.
