The MPD226 by Akai Professional combines a pad controller with a control surface in a lightweight and compact package, offering producers, programmers, musicians and DJs the feel of classic MPC beat-making.

Sixteen ultra-sensitive Thick Fat MPC pads are used to trigger drum hits and other samples in your software or external MIDI sound module. They are backlit for visual feedback & color-coding, and pressure- and velocity-sensitive for a responsive feel and intuitive playing. You can switch between four pad banks to control up to 64 samples.

The control surface features four 360° knobs, four buttons, and four faders (all assignable) which send continuous controller messages to the software for up to 36 parameters stored in three independent control banks.

The unit incorporates some of the MPC’s most popular features such as Full-Level button, MPC Swing, 16-Level button, Note-Repeat button, and Tap-Tempo button. The MIDI In/Out ports allow for connecting the controller to external MIDI devices like synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines.

The MPD226 is class-compliant with Mac and Windows, and is iOS-compatible via Apple’s Camera Connection kit (available separately). It comes with a comprehensive software bundle which includes, Akai Pro MPC Essentials, Sonivox Big Bang Cinematic Percussion & Big Bang Universal Drums, and Ableton Live Lite.

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
