You never know where you’ll be when a melodic idea or riff will pop into your head. With the LPK25 you’ll have the perfect creative outlet. This tiny controller has real mini-keyboard keys a built-in arpeggiator, and much more for making music instantly.
The smallest pad controller we’ve ever made, the LPD8 is perfect for making beats with virtually any software using nothing more than the included USB cable and your Mac or PC. Learn all about it.
Add high-quality MPC pads, nothing you don’t need, and a footprint that will fit into any DJ, musician, or production setup. The MPD18 is a USB-MIDI controller that can work with virtually all software and hardware. Get the scoop.
We just shipped this baby last month and we are very pleased to see that our friends at GearJunkies.com were quick to make mention of the MINIAK synth on their site. See their coverage here.
