That can’t be good for the longevity of the USB ports.We’ve all seen the too many buttons video, but I would imagine that even watching such a thing in-house at Akai Pro is worthy of disciplinary action. It wouldn’t be so if the MPD32 had an on-off switch, but it doesn’t, which means you have to keep detaching it from your computer. Well, yes, that works but it’s hardly what you expect of a MIDI controller, which ought to be able to remain connected all the time. All the Akai technical support person could suggest was disconnecting and reconnecting the device as described above. I’ve tried all sorts of things to rectify this issue, including tweaking the MIDI devices element of the registry, removing all other USB devices, reinstalling drivers, etc. This happens with both my DAWs – Ableton Live 7 and Cubase Studio 4.1 – so it’s not a problem isolated to just one system. You have to disconnect the MPD32 from the USB port and then reconnect it, and then relaunch your DAW before it is recognised as present. Launch your DAW, however, and it doesn’t recognise the MPD32 as being connected.

When Windows is powered up with the MPD32 connected via USB, it appears that the device is working properly as the MPD32’s display screen is fully lit. One aspect of its performance has been a constant annoyance, though. MPD32 is available now, with an MSRP of $499.00. Ableton Live Akai Edition software included.Thirty user-definable presets for use with software applications.Three banks of eight assignable switches, sliders and endless knobs for a total of 72 controllers.Sixteen full-sized, genuine MPC pads with velocity and pressure-sensitive response.MPD32 is a fully programmable controller and multifunctional control surface that fits perfectly within any production or performance environment. MPD32 also features transport controls for interfacing with DAW/sequencing applications like Sonar, Cubase and Logic.
