  • I'm just going to say it...it's better than AKAI's controllers...
Style: STARRYPAD Color: Black
If you're an AKAI loyalist you're missing out on this dope little controller. Here's the run-down. First, a little background. I've been making music since ACID 2.0. If you don't know what that is that's about 30 years. I've had every single piece of equipment to make waves from MPCs, Roland 840, E-Mu units, and on and on. A lot of the units I've had have pads built into them, obviously. AKAI is always heralded as having the best pads. Well, I have news for you, they don't. I've been comparing DONNER products right along side AKAI products for the past year and I have to say DONNER products have more responsive pads which are more supple (absorbing more impact). They reduce double-trigger events to almost zero compared to AKAI's notorious "stiff pad that you have to break in." Why was that ever a virtue? I don't think it was. If you're trying to get something connected quick and on the go to get creative stuff out fast, you don't want to have to be HEARING OR EDITING OUT double triggers. AKAI MPD18 & LPD8 - Compared to the DONNER products like STARRYPAD and DMK25PRO the pads are straight garbage. They are hard, double-triggering nightmares. People say you have to always adjust your velocity sensitivity and blah, blah, blah. Sure, that is true...if you want to take extra steps to get the same result as a product that's about the third of the price, go right ahead and adjust all the velocity sensitivities individually and then spend a year breaking your pads in. I'll just say it: If you value your creative time and don't want to take extra steps to get nice, soft, sensitive pads that don't double-trigger, AND spend less money, buy this product. It's natively mapable in most mobile apps including KOALA and feels more like the classic MPC models some of us old heads came to love, like the 2000 & 2500XL series which had beautiful, impact-absorbing pads that literally never double-triggered. Buying the STARRYPAD is a no-brainer and if I was AKAI I'd start looking really hard at what this company is doing differently with regard to their control pads. Just saying. ... show more

  • broke after 3 months. UPDATE: ordered another. broke after 40 days.
Style: STARRYPAD Color: White
usbc port broke after 3 months, rendering it unusable. worked fine until then. UPDATE: purchased another one because I assumed this failure was a fluke due to bad QC. Nope. Not a fluke. There is something clearly wrong with the process they are using to solder the USB-C ports on these, which causes it to detach (cleanly) within a few months. It's a shame because otherwise the product is good, and this should be extremely easy to get right. I've never seen something similar with any other product. even $5 microcontrollers get this right. I'm sure this product is fine if you're leaving it on your desk and not unplugging it, or if you get bored of things within a month, but it is absolutely not suitable for a live setting or for long-term/portable use. I'd say this is bad quality control, but with it happening twice, I'm inclined to say it's just bad quality. ... show more

  • Nice Features, Easy To Edit, Nice Pad Feel, Good Price
Style: STARRYPAD Color: Black
The Donner Starrypad has a nice set of features for people looking for a good trigger pad but do not need a lot of extra sliders and knobs. The silicone rubber pads have a good feel with a little downward flex. The sliders have a nice solid glide with just the right amount of resistance and the knobs have continuous rotation in both directions. There are three memory bank locations for all pads, knobs and slider setups and they can be accessed from three bank buttons on the front panel. You need the Starrypad Editor software to edit the pads, knobs and sliders but it works well and makes setup easy. The owners manual has the official Donner site for obtaining the Starrypad editor. You cannot hear the sounds that you assign to the pads while in the software edit mode, but by using General Midi Note and Control Change Maps you should be able to setup the Starrypad quickly. ... show more

  • Lightening Port Devices may require Apple Camera Adapter
Style: STARRYPAD Color: Black
After a helpful interaction with Donner support through Amazon, I was successful in utilizing this MIDI Pad with an Apple iPad 9 with Lightening Port. The lightening port alone does not have the capability to power the device. After several frustrating iterations, I finally bought an Apple Camera Adapter (Lightening to USB-3 + Power Input via Lightening) while communicating with Donner support (their ultimate recommendation after I had ordered the adapter was to order said adapter). I found a 3rd party adapter worked in my situation, though whether 3rd party or Apple, you will need to provide a power source (wall charger and cable, or a potable battery pack). The MIDI Pad is solid and has been enjoyable to use in the last several days it has worked for me. Several iPad Apps are out there, and naturally, many-many PC and Mac applications as well. This was a gift for my son, and he has thoroughly enjoyed the iOS app Koala spurred on by a very thorough YouTube review of this Donner Starrypad. ... show more

  • Used for DnD sound effects
Style: STARRYPAD Color: Black
I got this as a gift for a Dungeons and Dragons dungeon master. He had been wanting a soundboard for his sound effects and music, but they were typically very expensive. This was an affordable option I found and he has been really happy with it. He was able to set it up with software on his laptop, so he can take it over to his friends' houses and have a more comprehensive experience in their play sessions. The soundboard is responsive so that he can quickly insert the sounds he needs, and there are plenty of large buttons so he can tie different effects to different buttons and have plenty ready to go at one press. You are also able to fade sounds so he can transition music between scenes. Overall quite happy with the purchase. ... show more
