The lighted buttons are a more recent advance in this kinds of controller, but devices like this with unlighted buttons go back to the Akai MPC line that was started in the late 80s. | |

| Aug 10, 2018 at 10:16 | comment | added | Ian | Just to add to this good answer (+1), a common term for these devices is MIDI controller, but this also includes Keyboards without pads. That's why these things often go under the brand names of widely used devices like Launchpad or Maschine. People familiar with these instruments would probably understand "Pad MIDI Controller" as term. | |
