I'd get it from eBay or Craigslist or some place else where you can get it secondhand.

It's pretty much one of the better pad controllers according to many.

I had the Akai MPD24, but that sucks. ( got motivated by this dope beat to buy one; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA1lZjFzgI8 , but I soon found out the pads aren't actually very comfortable. )

& owning a mpk49 steered me away from going anywhere near a mpd for pads :lol: even after i did the mod they felt like shit.

the response is appreciated though
