Akai enters the second round with the LPD8 MIDI pad controller, featuring a robust design and backlit (RGB) pads derived from the top-of-the-line MPC X standalone hardware. Trigger your sounds even more comfortably than before and benefit from a dynamic performance without compromise. Eight assignable knobs (270°) are once again on board, allowing you to assign various parameters to your DAW/plug-ins. Whether delay, EQ or trim functions - you decide!

The small dimensions are also practical, allowing you to produce and jam music in the studio, live, on the road or on the couch. Thanks to the "USB-powered" feature, all you have to do is connect the device to your Mac/PC/computer and you're ready to go. No external power supply required.

To get you started right away, you will receive access to the MPC Beats software (download). The DAW is based on legendary MPC hardware and allows you to produce, edit, record, mix and master music! On board are synths that provide you with a wide variety of leads, basses, pads and keyboard sounds, while effect plug-ins help to make the sound even fatter!
