What drum pad would provide better sound if played by fingers?

The pads are pressure sensitive,unless you have very strong fingers I don't recommend.

I think it's better launkey because the keys are bigger than the mini akai while still being portable. the launch key also has more pads

No, there is no pad for the pedal - the pedal itself causes the 'drum' to sound.

Yeah, the kick pad attaches with a piece of velcro at the top of the drum head and just hangs there. Honestly I never use the kick or cymbol pads. I ran a decibel meter on the toms and it reduces the volume of the toms by ~20db from the top, but just a few db from below. The snare is reduced by only a few db but the pads definitely mute the attack.

It depends on your mixing speed and finger placement. The regular size novation pad have slightly bigger buttons than the mini, but they both work the same. I purchased the mini because I downloaded the app on my iPad mini, so they work together. I'm just learning myself so I wanted to start off with something small and not too expensive just in case I lost interest in it. I'm still having a blast with mine, it's so much fun creating your own beats and music. Hope this helps out.

Well, yes and no: There is a headphone jack, but drumsticks making contact with the drum pads does make some noise. So the short answer might be "yes, mostly."

definitely do not use the Apple track pad, I play guitar and am using it right now but searching for a better mouse to replace it since the Apple touch mouse lags so bad. The Apple track pad destroys your wrist, like I mentioned I play guitar and it's stiffened up my right hand wrist to the point of it effecting my guitar playing. The Apple track pad forces you to hover your entire wrist to avoid inadvertent inputs, even if you try to disable most of the touch gestures and just guide the cursor with all four fingers resting, it won't let you set it up to do that.

I'm sorry, but there is no listing of drum sounds in the manual. I doubt that those sounds are somewhere in the machine. I would recommend going to a local store that has one and checking it out.

not sure about what drums you have , my set has an input on the the drum "brain" that accepts an input from mp3,etc.

Yea a standard 1/4" guitar cable will work for you, Bruce. The output you're going to want to use for the drum machine is the one identified as "phones" on the back of the machine. Have fun!

No extra inputs for external triggers. You can connect this kit with a midi cable into your audio interface. I use the m-audio UNO Midi USB cable interface and it works great. I'm using Logic Pro 9, GarageBand and EZ Drummer as my pluggin

Theres a little screen that teaches u which finger to use when playing built in songs.. But it is too fast

It's better for techno or hip hop, however if you just want a repeated drum it might works.

Very much so. Many more options, and the tone/shaping options are extensive. EZD is pretty good, but Superior is, well, superior. It does the same thing as EZD, but the samples are way more flexible in terms of tailoring the sound to the sound you want. Highly recommended, if that's what you're looking for. If you're just looking for a backup drummer, EZD works great.

I think that you mean the noise of the pads? I would have to say no. I would have say it would be like tapping on a hard piece of hard rubber. The cymbals are like tapping on a thin piece of plastic. But with headphones on you can't hear the tapping you hear the actual sound of the drum or cymbal that goes with playing through a amp. If you want quiet go with mesh heads.
