According to our MIDI controller expert
Add the AKAI LPD8 to your studio or live setup and trigger samples or effects with your fingertips. Because the 8 drum pads are velocity sensitive, you can play the drums with dynamism. This gives the drum pattern a human feeling. Within your DAW you can couple parameters yourself to the rotary controls. This makes it possible to configure the controller so that it fits perfectly with your working method. The LPD8 is ideal for the traveling producer or live DJ. Thanks to the compact size, you can easily take the controller to performances. You do not have to install a driver, because your DAW will automatically recognize the device. Do you want to get the most out of the LPD8? Then download editing software.

I was looking for a small midi controller with rotary knobs to complement my launchpad mini. Wanted to know for myself what the difference was between Novation and Akai. Both very good brands. The only thing I miss is a hard case or sleeve to tuck the controller away. I can't find these on Belgian online shops either, but they do exist.

Pretty good value for money, really useful with other controllers, good mapping in Ableton
