not that it will make the pads softer but it will make the sound come out quicker with pressing hard.....i hope lol

im pretty sure its a way you can do this without opening it. it should be on the software that came with it.

@TheRicoStatus Actually it didn't. I got a Korg padKontrol. The difference is night and day.

hahaha, I JUST got my lpd8 in the mail right now and plan on cracking it open immediately. (obviously I hooked it up to Logic first to see how sensitive it was)
One thing I've noticed is it's double triggering... is that a common thing? Does it go away with more sensitive keys? Or do I have a defective unit?

I've just done the mod, works great-finally I can do finger drumming. I used black matt electrical tape with two layers. Had to lossen some screws up, so my only tip is screw the screws back until they first tighten.
THANKS!

@BudCr0w Yes I never thought of loosening the screws a bit to remove some pressure. Nice glad it worked out well for you.

okay, just got done with the mod... and although it feels EXACTLY the same, I get no more double triggers. So my hat's off to you regardless.

I just wanted to say thanks for doing this video. I like the how portable the LPD is but its frustrating to have to hit the pads so hard just to get a sound.
I'm going to make this modification to my LPD this weekend. I'm so excited! ... Lol
