For how long have you been using it?

</ul>

About 6-7 months.

<ul>

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

</ul>

I had the Korg padKONTROL.

<ul>

What thing do you like most/least about it?

</ul>

The pros: The knobs and faders really numerous and effective.
The button just below the faders to make practice mutes solo ...
The transport keys.
The general aspect that seems a bit bcf solid (Dailleurs controller is quite heavy) and the big screen and understandable.
Easy to set up either with the software provided, either directly with the 4-5 keys and the knob provided for this purpose.
Easy to install: I plugged it worked under XP and Seven.

The -: The pads that I find somewhat less accurate than those of padKONTROL (may be a matter of habit, because it is true that it made me curious to place the pads on the MPD32 padKONTROL those initially touch different) but are still good.
No on-off button?? have to unplug the usb, not top the long term I think.

<ul>

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

</ul>

I went to the MPD32 because it has a large number of knobs / faders, a total of 16 assignable physical and 48 on a preset, which is very valuable in recording and also live. It meets all my expectations and I've never been a problem up here, so yes I would do without hesitation that choice.
