Don't let its impossibly thin lines fool you: the LPD8 MK2 incorporates 8 true RGB backlit pads taken directly from the MPC X -the flagship of the brand's MPCs- accompanied by 8 assignable Q-Link knobs. The dedicated LPD8 Editor software stores all note assignments and Midi controller (CC) numbers, ideal for quickly reloading a setup when using the LPD8 with multiple software programs simultaneously.
Outstanding versatility
Whether you're using the LPD8 MK2 as your main controller, or simply as a supplement to existing equipment, it will fit into any configuration, from the simplest to the most complex. This Midi device will be at ease in any situation: at home, during your music programming sessions or during your shows to, for example, launch the playback of a sample (which may make you famous) or the triggering of lighting with your favorite lighting software. The LPD8 MK2 will simply adapt to your needs, no matter what.
A very complete software package
Shipped with the brand new MPC Beats production software developed by Akai, the LPD8 MK2 also integrates the Tubesynth, Bassline and Electric virtual instrument simulations developed by AIR Music Tech, numerous insert effects such as AIR Talk Box, Mother Ducker or Half Speed, complemented by 2 GB of samples.
