MPK49 Pads Mod Tutorial -Increase sensitivity and accuracy


Uploaded by on May 6, 2011
AfroDJMac quickly takes you, step by step, through his customization of his prized Akai MPK49. This will increase sensitivity and accuracy. The principles here are the same as the MPD 32 upgrade seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZViS288WH4 and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mI4SutQJpQ. Big thanks to these guys for sharing their knowledge!

In this video, I placed a rectangle of duct tape and then 6 rectangles of painters tape on each pad. The result is a MUCH sturdier feel and more accurate pads. It now feels comparable to an MPC 1000. Highly recommended and easy mod. Totally makes me want to do more finger drumming, Plus you'll learn something about the insides of your gear!

Can you figure out where the drums samples played at the end came from?!?!
