Introducing the Akai Professional LPD8. This tiny USB-MIDI controller gives your latop drum machine-style input and control for virtually any software on your Mac or PC.
The LPD8 is perfect for all kinds of musicians, producers, DJs and other music creators. It’s about the width of a laptop computer and weighs less than a pound, so the LPD8 can be on-hand wherever inspiration strikes you. You can easily fit the LPD8 into a laptop case, backpack or messenger bag for extreme portability.
The LPD8 gives your laptop a set of intuitive music-making controls that are much more natural than a mouse and keyboard. You get eight velocity-sensitive, backlit MPC-style drum pads for programming beats and melodies or sending program change commands to the software. The LPD8 also has eight assignable Q-Link knobs you can assign to control virtually any parameters in your favorite music software.
The LPD8 is the smallest, most portable controller from Akai. It brings the natural MPC-style input controls to your laptop in a super-portable format. Learn more at the LPD8 page and check out the LPK25 Laptop Keyboard Controller.
