Pad controllers for OP-1 field

OP-1 field
1

Has anyone used a midi pad controller with a 4x4 layout to control the OP-1 Field?
I love the workflow of the OP-1 but I sometimes miss pads for finger drumming and sample chops. Thinking of getting something like ESI Xjam, Akai MPD218 or Presonus Atom controller.

Would love it it also had ability to do scale mode and chord mode, either out of the box or by making and saving presets (I must admit I miss that from 15 years using Maschine).

Anyone tried one of those options and can report? Or other options I should check out?

(Fender Motion 16 also looks interesting but it’s not out yet, and might be overkill…)

Thanks, that looks cool! I’d love to see a demo of the actual unit.

I’m not sure it fits my needs for finger-drummable pads, but still looks really interesting! Thank you for sharing.
