LPD8 Wireless Pad Controller
You can’t beat classic MPC feel
Generations of producers still swear by the feel of classic MPC pads, and that’s exactly what you get with the LPD8 Wireless pad controller. Any seasoned beat maker will feel at home on these eight firm and responsive pads (complete with red backlighting), and you can switch them to Full Level mode when you don’t want velocity-sensitive dynamics. Two switchable layers also provide full access to traditional 16-pad sampler instruments. On top of that, the LPD8 Wireless features classic Akai Note Repeat mode, perfect for quickly laying down hats and other rhythmical elements.

Set it up for perfect portable control
Beyond a great set of pads for playing samples and drum synths, the LPD8 Wireless delivers extensive MIDI control. The pads may initiate program changes, and the eight Q-Link knobs can control several continuous controllers. The LP8 Wireless has four program banks with all the program change triggers and CC knobs you need. The basic editor/librarian software (Mac/Windows) lets you set up and carry all your applications.
Who needs cables anyway?
Want to lay down beats at the beach or bust out a groove on the subway? USB bus power and batteries let you use your favorite virtual sampler without plugging in. Also, its Bluetooth LE connection lets you leave your USB cord at home and enjoy hours of music creation wherever inspiration strikes.
