I've got a PadKontrol and it was worth it for me. It's definitely easier, and more fun, to pound out beats. It's also good for triggering samples (obviously). I don't bother getting into complicated mapping because the PK only has a couple knobs and I have another controller with boatloads of 'em.
I was interested in the MPD24, but who knows when that baby's coming out?

The trigger finger was one of the cheapest and greatest investments I have made. I use traktor live and I have a set up with my trigger finger that allows me to trigger all the effects and then the top 8 pads I have setup for skipping forward a beat etc so I can do mad beat juggling with it. It's the center piece for my live sets, and people find it more interesting when I'm doing that and not just staring at a computer screen.

what i'm wondering, is which one has the best feel? I've been using my friend's micrkontrol for a while now, and the pads on that thing suck. the only good thing about them is that they make great buttons. you can set send midi controller messages, in either a toggle or gate mode. that's really handy, but as far as playing beats on them, they suck.
i want a pad controller that's very sensitive, cause when i play faster stuff, i don't press down as hard.

Also use the knobs and sliders with Live’s impulse to stretch and transpose samples, and to trigger other effects.
