Midi Pad controllers

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience using ND2 with controllers such as the Akai MPD series or Korg PadKontrol. If so, how is the cc mapping?

AKAI LPC8 are so dirt cheap you can't possibly make a mistake buying one of them. Even if you don't like the pads, the rotaries alone are worth it. CC mapping is very good - they come with an editor that will allow you to map anything everywhere and you can switch on-the-fly between CC, MIDI-note and PC mode.
I don't have tried any Korg pads, but I've had a Korg Nano Key -let's just call it "No-No-Key"- and a Korg Nano Kontrol. The latter is quite ok, editor similar to AKAIs, but if it comes to dynamics I just don't trust Korg. AKAI really have a reputation for good pads and IMO for good reason.
