Livid Instruments Base II MIDI Controller

The pads are not quite as responsive as I had hoped, but they are better than some other controllers I have used (MPD 32 and Axiom). I agree with the other reviewers that it is a pain to make edits to the controllers settings in my browser. However, I have found tweaking those settings has helped to make the pads more effective.The reason I am giving 2 stars is for poor customer support on my defective product. I have wrote them twice regarding an issue with one of my pads and never received a response. One of the pads does not trigger any sounds for me, which happened in the first month of use.

Perfect controller that will last forever. Very well crafted, great pad response, excellent overall functionality. Also very useful for live performances.

This thing is pure junk! I have been looking for a 32 pad controller for some time and thought this would be perfect for producing. Too bad the pads are so unresponsive this thing is completely unusable for finger drumming or playing in a live environment. You have to press super hard to get strikes to register and if you play too rapidly it is guaranteed to miss inputs. On top of the crappy hardware comes crappy software the device editor is based in a WEB BROWSER (?) Why?. it is clunky and not intuitive. You would be better off with a 40$ MPD at least the pads work on that. I feel like this instrument is only good for wasting time and money. NOT RECOMMENDED DO NOT BUY.

Perfect for controlling Live. Best pressure pads I've ever used. Finally a MPC digital replacement
