The MPD2 Series is a product of more than six years of detailed customer research and user feedback. We asked what you wanted and listened closely to what you told us to create the most capable and user-friendly line of pad controllers Akai Professional has developed to date.

The MPD218’s 16 new, ultra-sensitive Thick Fat MPC pads, create a responsive user experience. It also has an expanded control set of six knobs in three banks versus one control on the previous MPD18 model. This will enable you to maximize your sound and give you increased control over effects.

MIDI information is sent over its plug-and-play USB interface for use on Mac or PC, eliminating the need to install any drivers. The USB connection powers the MPD218, so the included USB cable is all you need.

Our MPD2 Series marks an important evolution of the pad controller. Many years of research and customer feedback has led directly to some of the most capable pad controllers we’ve ever developed. These MPDs are the perfect bridge between your creativity and your computer-based studio.

Hosa MID-503 Serviceable 5-pin DIN to Serviceable 5-pin DIN Pro MIDI Cable, 3 feet

If you need a high-quality MIDI cable, check out Hosa Technologies’ 3′ MIDI to MIDI Premium Cable.
With a dense spiral copper shield to block interference, and durable,
nickel-plated connectors and connector pins, the MIDI to MIDI Premium
Cable is a great option for connecting your MIDI-compliant devices.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)
The MIDI protocol allows communication between a computer
and a digital synthesizer (keyboard, drum machine, etc.) by transmitting
how the notes are to be produced. For example, commands like note-on,
note-off, pitch-shift, and tempo create much smaller files and more
realistic music, relying on the synthesizer to create all audible
sounds.
Premium Design
This cable features durable, serviceable, nickel-plated
connector bodies, and the stranded copper conductors are surrounded by a
dense copper shield to ensure interference-resistant data transfer.
Discreet 5-Pin Connectors
Each of the five pins on the connectors of these MIDI cables
is wired to support all MIDI functions, including uploading and
downloading data and relaying SysEx information.
Multiple Lengths
Hosa makes their cables in a variety of lengths to suit virtually any application.

Key Features & Specs:

  • Serviceable, all-metal plugs for rugged durability and ease of repair
  • Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors for enhanced signal clarity
  • OFC spiral shield for effective EMI and RFI rejection and flexibility

In The Box:

  • Hosa Technology MIDI to MIDI (Premium) Cable (3′)
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty

IOGEAR 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub GUH285 (Black)

The 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub from IOGEAR turns one USB 2.0
port into four. This is a great choice for users who are tired of
constantly swapping out cables to connect their multiple USB devices.
This compact hub’s small size is perfect for notebook computer users and
ideal for anyone who needs to expand their computer’s USB capabilities.

Expandability
The hub allows you to expand your USB connections. Users often
need to connect external drives, iPods, digital video cameras, memory
card readers, and other external devices to their computer via USB
connections. Adding a hub will allow you to quickly make these
connections without constantly swapping cables.
Compact Size
The hub features a compact size and integrated cable, making it a
perfect choice for notebook computer users. Notebook computers often
only have a few USB ports, making this a necessary accessory for the
mobile computer user.

that capability, allowing you to connect and disconnect devices without
powering down your computer.

 

Key Features & Specs:

  • 4 USB 2.0 ports for easy expansion
