Make Beats In Reason - Akai MPD32 Basics Part 1

Want to get an Akai MPD32 USB/MIDI Hardware Control Surface to use with Propellerhead Reason in order to make beats?

In this video, Akai MPD32 Basics Part 1, I cover some basic points about the device for beginners who want to know how to use the Akai MPD32 USB/MIDI controller with Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software such as Propellerheads Reason, Image Line's FLStudio, and others.

In this video I explain how the MPD32 is a controller and not a sample storage device, since a lot of new buyers confuse this device with the Akai MPC.

This video can help you understand the difference between a control surface and a sampler. It can also help save you some money by helping you choose the right type of device you need.

Grace and Peace!

wait your telling me i gotta buy a nother thing like fruity loops to work this??

@T00thPick13 - Remember, the MPD32 is a controller - it is a piece of hardware that allows you to trigger and control software devices. The MPD32 IS NOT a standalone sampler. If you don't have music creation software like Reason, FLStudio, Ableton, etc., you will; have to get that separately.

@BazzaBeatz - Yes, the MPD32 will work with FLStudio 9. It is tricky to setup though. Do a search here on YouTube and you will find vids to help you set it up.

Whattup taurus. I cant seem to get the record, play buttons to work on mine.. Any help?

[TaurusBeats]

@Djsnaps1987 - I need to know what you are working with - what software, version, PC/Mac, OS. The MPD32 has different presets as well which make the controls/knobds/pads/buttons function differently. I need more info in order to help you, fam.
