In this 1st part of our Beat Mash Series, we’re checking out this dope-ass gear-mash-up by Equalibrum, who’s successfully developed an MPC-like Beat Production setup in FL Studio 7 with the new AKAI MPD32 MIDI Controller. Watch as he bangs out on the pads and loop records the sequence mimicking a classic MPC setup.

The MPD32 is Akai’s ultimate velocity-sensitive pad controller for musicians and DJs. If you’ve always wanted to bang out beats on the MPC but already have a soft-DAW setup, then the MPD series is the way to go. The MPD32 features 16 pads, 8 assignable faders, 8 360° knobs and much much more.
