Hey there!
I'd like to help you get acquainted with Akai mpx16! Although I don't own the device momentarily, I am sure I could be super helpful about how to actually use it, and make the best of its functions, such as USB connectivity, sensitive pads, MIDI functions, studio and live applications etc.
What setup do you have? How (for what) do you want to use it?
Make sure to get in touch and let's discuss the options.
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you.
