Thanks     I remember that from reading up and watching some videos. I've seen it on sale quite inexpensively, too, maybe even $49 for MF's Stupid Deal.

Does anyone used the Launchpad pro with AD2?

Ohh Noo, 
 
I would not need a launch Pad Pro,  too many pads. 
 
 
I like the AKAI MPD series, these look rather nice.  I want to make sure it's up to date with Windows 10 and works well with AD2 and Sonar Platinum,  Nothing Fancy needed.

I have an MPD26 I picked up for that purpose.  Not very sensitive at all.  You darn near have to hit the pads with a hammer to get anything out of them, so it's difficult to capture nuance.
 
mpcstuff.com has "Corx" that are designed to go underneath the pads to close the air gap.  Some have also used multiple layers of electrical tape.
 
google MPD sensitivity ...
 
I haven't done mine yet, but I do plan to at some point.

When I got my Nanopad, I went through a whole series of mods and in the end came to the conclusion that those posting about it were having a placebo effect. Reducing the gap just reduced the gap, it didn't improve sensitivity. I just accepted I get a range from 27 to 127

Ok,  
 
Changing my mind from the MPD,  what's next?

The korg padkontrol has good sensitivity. Too bad it's such a pain to set up
