Ultra-portable production pad.




The LPD8 laptop pad controller is a USB-MIDI controller for musicians, producers, DJs and other music creators. It measures less than 13 inches across and weighs less than a pound to easily fit into a laptop case, backpack or messenger bag for extreme portability.

The LPD8 is based on Akai Professionals MPC line of iconic music production stations. Producers who love the feel of the MPC and want to work with software on their computer will find that the LPD8 gives their laptop the controls they prefer over a mouse and keyboard.

The LPD8 has eight orange light-up pads that are velocity sensitive for programming rhythmic or melodic parts. The pads can also send program-change information to software. Additionally, the LPD8 has eight assignable Q-Link knobs you can assign to virtually any parameters in their software for hands-on control.

The LPD8 works plug and play with Mac and PC and requires no software driver installation or wall power for operation. It has four memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to different software programs you use.

Make music in any setting with the LPD8.

What music-making programs should I use for a PC if i get one of these? Please help, thanks!

@XxBboyAyehxX

if you are just starting out and you have no Midi Controllers (example: keyboards, DrumPads, Mixers) you might want to use FruityLoops. Now if you are a musician and can play music you might want to use REASON and a midi controller of your choosing. Really, its all about what you want to do.

its truly amazing, i just bought one, and testing it with cubase, but so far i only get 8 sounds or notes, i cant change instruments and the knobs do nothing :S

@backstab86

The 8 assignable knobs send midi CC# They are plug-and-play as long as your computer's MIDI functions are working properly.

Does this work with propellerheads Reason?

[7sick0Productions]

@Josour17

I am pretty sure it does.

@Basensproductions I just ordered mine, i'm sure they've just marketed it to 'laptop-producers', but in reality it should work on desktops too.

[Basensproductions]

It's kind of missleasing when it says "laptop pad controller". Does this mean that it's for laptops only or for every kind of computer?
