How to choose
Decide whether you need a controller to work with a computer or a standalone unit that works on its own.
Beginner
Someone starting out in production should get the MPK Mini MK4 or MK3, a compact keyboard controller that works with most software and does not take up much desk space. Learn to map its pads and knobs to your software before moving to bigger gear.
Intermediate
A producer building beats regularly can add the MPD218 pad controller for finger drumming and sample triggering alongside a keyboard controller. Practice pad technique separately from keyboard playing since the skills differ.
Expert
A producer wanting to work away from a computer should look at the MPC Live II or MPC Key 61, both standalone samplers and sequencers that can carry a full project. Back up projects from the standalone unit regularly, since losing work on a self contained sampler is harder to recover from than a computer session.
