Akai Professional LPD8 MKII USB MIDI Pad Controller
Estimated delivery in Italy between 16 and 18 June
Akai Professional LPD8 MK2 is a USB MIDI controller featuring 8 rotary potentiometers and 8 velocity-sensitive pads that transmit MIDI note messages useful for playing virtual instruments, plugins, and DAW software, Control Change messages, or Program Change messages. The MPC-style pads, perfect for finger drumming, are RGB backlit.
Akai Pro LPD8 Mk2 is a class-compliant USB MIDI controller, universally compatible with all operating systems; it requires no driver installation. This also makes it compatible with all latest-generation electronic musical instruments equipped with a USB type A port that support external MIDI controllers: from the Force to the MPC series by Akai Professional, from the Nautilus to Korg's drumlogue, etc. With compact dimensions (306x81x34mm) and extremely light, weighing only 390 grams, the LPD8 MKII is powered directly by the computer via USB.
With the same velocity-sensitive and backlit (RGB) pads as the Akai Professional MPC X, Akai Professional LPD8 Mk2 allows you to physically control any sound or function of your favorite music software: from triggering clips in Ableton Live to playing audio samples (sounds or effects) of any software sampler, from live finger drumming performances to studio music production, from controlling functions and effects in DJ and VJ software to changing sounds in all virtual instruments that support MIDI Program Change.
The 8 rotary potentiometers with a 270° range will help you with physical parameter control and recording automations within your music software.
4 Programs directly in AKAI PRO LPD8 MKII*
A software editor downloadable from the AKAI Professional website allows you to configure additional functions, such as note messages, Control Change, and Program Change transmittable by individual pads, and Control Change on rotary potentiometers. In addition, you can assign a color of your choice to each individual pad thanks to the RGB backlight control. Once you have created your preset settings in the editor, you can transfer them directly to your LPD8MKII USB MIDI pad controller to recall them at any time. There are a total of 4 Program memories (preset settings) that can be saved and recalled directly in this pad controller.
MPC Beats Music Production Software*
By purchasing an Akai Pro LPD8 MKII USB MIDI pad controller, you can download the free DAW software MPC Beats, which comes with a rich array of sounds, plugins, and drum audio samples.

IMPORTANT:
AKAI Professional LPD8 MKII is a controller that generates and sends MIDI messages via USB, useful for controlling software, applications, or musical hardware compatible with the universal MIDI standard. It does not have internal sounds and works exclusively by sending control messages that will be translated into sound by your music software, which will then output through your audio interface. The instrument therefore does not have an audio output.
