If you don’t want to go as small as the Akai LPD8, you can always go the route of the new Akai MPD18. It’s the smallest non-laptop-ish pad controller available from the company.

The heart of the MPD18 is its bank of 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive genuine MPC pads, an Akai Professional exclusive. Users can access three different banks of sounds from the pads for a total of 48 sounds at once. The MPD18 also borrows the MPC series’ assignable Q-Link controllers, enabling users to control nearly any parameters in their software in real time on an assignable Q-Link fader and an assignable Q-Link button.

The MPD18 is available now for $99.
