The MPD232 also has an expanded control set of eight knobs, eight buttons and eight faders in three banks, resulting in a total of 72 total controls. This enables you increased control over your sounds and effects.

MIDI information is sent over its plug-and-play USB interface for use on Mac or PC, eliminating the need for drivers. The USB connection powers the MPD232 so the included USB cable is all you need.

Along with the improved functionality, the MPD232 features iOS compatibility using the Camera Connection Kit (sold separately) and included free software. Titles include: Akai Pro MPC Essentials, Big Bang Drums and Big Bang Cinema from Sonivox, Ableton Live Lite, and Software Preset Editor.
