Akai Professional LPD8 MK2 Laptop Drumpad Controller

General

The Akai Professional LPD8 MK2 is perfect if you're looking for a compact drumpad controller. Equipped with touch-sensitive Performance Pads, eight encoders and programmable functions, this thing makes spitting out beats and loops super-easy. Akai have outfitted this MIDI controller with the same sensitive RGB pads as the flagship model MPC-X has, so drumming with your fingers and creating punchy boom-baps not only feels exceptionally satisfying but comes with real-time feedback thanks to the RGB lights - the colours of which can be customised with the free downloadable Editor software.

Premium Pad Performance

Besides RGB performance pads, the LPD8 MK2 features eight encoders that can rotated by as much as 270 degrees to control your MIDI CC, plugin effects and any other parameters in a tactile way. Protected by a sturdy housing, the controller has been designed to handle life on the road and comes complete with a full software pack so you can get started with the downloadable software and plugins right away. The software pack includes Hybrid, Mini Grand, Velvet, MPC Beats APP, Full Editor software and MPC Soundpacks with F9 Beats Instruments Collection, Producer Kits, Soulful Drums, LoFi Producer Collection and Trap Soul @ LoFi Beats.
