Eric McGregor shows us around the new MPK25, a 25-key (no surprise) MIDI controller following in the footsteps of the MPK 49, but smaller, or more precisely, shorter.

there are 12 knobs on the mpk25. first he had an issue with shapes, now counting?

He did say two banks of knobs (making 24); and later said 48 pads based on the same logic.

But yeah, I had a double take when he said it.

Why cant Akai get the knob/drum pad layout correct? R they retarded or something?!? Pads on the right and Knobs on the left! Who wants to spastically tap out beats with their weak left hand while playing a run with their right? Or tweak a knob with their right hand while riffing out with the left?
