Finger Drumming on AKAI MPD226 and AKAI MPX16

[This question was asked by a prospect via Facebook]

Hi Andreas and Xpress Pads, I’ve found your video’s, reviews and tutorials very helpful, informative and inspiring in my research to try and find the right solution for my home studio set up. My first instrument is drums and so I record a lot of acoustic drums, however finger drumming, sequencing and drum machines etc are a great solution for my home set up. I wondered if you have an opinion on the Akai XR20 drum machine? I love the Akai MPC series and pad controllers, but I’m using the Tascam DP-32SD as I prefer that sort of workflow without a computer. I’ve been considering the Novation Circuit, but I’m not convinced it’s the right choice for me? The MPC touch would be amazing but it is not in my budget. Is there any other devices you could recommend? It would be great to hear from you. Best regards, […]
