bout to buy one or the other based on best recomendations. I us fruity loops 6 and adobe 1.5 which is easier to incorporated into my set up. which is better.
i use the trigger finger with fl6, if you get it youll have to program it yourself cuz i dont think it has any presets for fl. i created a fpc preset and just load samples into it. i dont know anything about the mpd16
Ive got the MPD16.. And love it coupled with FL6, and NI Battery2. However, like some ppl say, the pad's have to be hit in the center [Cant be hit on corner's, atleast.], for it to register.
If your going to spend more then the $99 an MPD16 costs, Buy an MPD24, or Korg PADKontrol.
i got the Padkontrol today (off-topic already i guess) and ive only had about 3 minutes of play time with it. Like everything very much so far, except I couldnt get the roll and flam functions to work with ableton.
Btw, I bought an Axiom 49 thinking them pads would be all I need......no, not the case, the pads kinda suck, thats why I had to buy the padkontrol.
Threadstarter, you might wanna go with the trigger finger cause seeing from a lot of videos, them pads can make ur creativity open up with the pressure-sensitivity.
Id def cop a mpd-24 now that its out....I have a trigger finger it gets the job done but the pads feel cheap in comparison to mpc pads....Plus if you can set the velocity curve on the pads like u can do on the trigger then thats all you need to do once you get it if they arent sensitive enough....
