The LPD8 is a MIDI pad controller that is second to none in terms of pad performance. The new LPD8 features the same velocity-sensitive MPC pads with RGB backlighting as the flagship Akai Professional MPC X. Experience premium pad quality in a pocket-sized package, and be confident that the LPD8 will stand up to the most dynamic performances - from punchy boom baps to fast finger drumming. The LPD8 features 8 RGB pads that provide real-time feedback for your performances. Customise the colours with the included editor software to organise samples and audio files. The 8 knobs let you control your MIDI CC, plug-in effects or other parameters with absolute tactile control. Don't let the sleek design fool you, the LPD8 is also inspired by the rugged construction of the standalone MPCs and built to go with you anywhere. The perfect companion for percussive pad playing at any time.
