Description

If you're looking for an excellent yet affordable USB pad controller, then check out the Akai Professional LPD8. The most obvious and striking thing about the LPD8 is its size. It's narrow enough to fit in a laptop bag with plenty of room to spare, and shallow enough to sit right in front of your keyboard and still let you reach your track pad and keys comfortably. But here's the thing you're sure to love: these pads feel simply incredible! And why wouldn't they? Akai Professional has been the force behind pad programming since the early days of the MPC. The LPD8's pads have that same responsive feel.
