Why MK-16

The pad feel of a $600 controller. The footprint of a paperback.

We obsessed over the three things that kill flow: latency, mushy pads, and software that fights you. Then we fixed all three.

Sub-3ms latency

Class-compliant USB-C driver. No setup, no ASIO config, no "why is my snare late" tickets.

🥁

Pads that read your hand

16 levels of velocity + aftertouch. Ghost notes land where you put them — not where the firmware guesses.

🎚️

Works with your DAW

Pre-mapped for Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Bitwig, and Maschine. One cable, instant grid.

From box to beat

Sixty seconds. Three steps.

Lay down the loop

Tap, slice, finger-drum. 2GB of curated samples included — trap, lo-fi, house, breaks, drill.

"I replaced my MPC for travel sessions. Finger-drumming on the MK-16 feels closer to a Maschine than anything I've touched under $300."

"Latency is the lowest I've measured on a USB pad controller, period. Tested at 2.4ms round-trip on M2 MacBook. Buy it."

"My beats finally don't sound quantized to death. The aftertouch on the hats is what sold me — I get real rolls without programming them."

faq

Questions producers actually ask

Does it work with my DAW?

If your DAW reads MIDI, yes. We ship pre-mapped templates for Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Bitwig, Maschine, and Reason. Anything else maps in under 90 seconds via standard MIDI learn.

iPad and iPhone?

Yes. MK-16 is class-compliant USB-C, which means it works with iPad (USB-C models) and iPhone 15+ with no adapter. GarageBand, BeatMaker 3, Koala, AUM — all confirmed.

What if I hate it?

Send it back within 60 days for a full refund. We pay return shipping in the US and EU. No restocking fee, no "must be unopened" — we expect you to actually play it.

How does it compare to a Maschine Mini or MPC One?

MK-16 is a controller, not a standalone groovebox — it needs your computer. In exchange you get better pads at a third of the price, and full integration with whatever DAW you already pay for.

Is the sample pack royalty-free?

Yes. All 2GB (Solo) and 10GB (Studio) of samples are 100% royalty-free for commercial use, including streaming, sync, and beat sales. Sell the beats you make. We don't take a cut.

When does it ship?

Orders placed before 2pm ET ship same day from our Brooklyn warehouse. US delivery is 2-4 business days. EU is 3-6. We don't do drop-ship — every unit is tested before it leaves.
