All user reviews for the Akai Professional LPD8

I used it three weeks now because it is good for the trash.
I have not had the opportunity to test other similar products before you buy.

I liked the format, which does not take place

I did not like to have a faulty device at the open, a pad remained engaged when pressed and others will engage all alone if we played hard on their neighbor.

After receiving a new new one I did not like seeing the USB connector broke after three weeks while the machine did not move from my desk.

I have no comparison to talk about price, I can only say that I bought it because it is deemed more robust than others and it did not cost much.

Currently I would do this choice because there is no competition, it's also why AK has not had to bother to provide products that last, it's so throwaway that themselves make their production taking into account the return VAS which will lead to replacement by new.

My advice to the owners of this machine would be very careful, and for the professionals I would tell them is to always have one or two seals on tour oubien not buy it.

I had a nano in which to korg crashed after 1 year and a half when I had barely used, suddenly the VAS offered me and I have taken the LPD8, I take this opportunity to give my opinion having had the 2

on LPD8 must enter with force, no possibility to adjust the sensitivity of the pads, what was on the Korg
to go through the AKAI software to configure the beast, the KORG had several pallets to its credit accessible by a button, I rarely needed the software
by the cons of knob LPD8 are well enough to run a DAW or what you want, I used to zoom in or out in Logic
the pads seem stronger in AKAI, at least I hope so because in Korg's just a useless purchase more than 1 year
2 for the USB plug is fragile but they are recognized immediately, the Korg has a little pad that LPD8, I admit that I miss it a bit

to summarize, do not expect miracles at this price, Korg he better not buy it, LPD8 looks solid but not too sensitive still, you have to type like a nag. basically if you intend to use it often, invest in something better, if, like me, put a small battery from time to time, that suits him and he must always go through with the software provides for LPD8
I expected better

I use it for about one month, I have tried no other model before.

What I like most is its size, its weight, its knobs, its pads .. in short, everything!

What I like least: nothing!

I bought this controller a little history to reach my virtual drums and it works well vrément, I tested with African percussion I had the impression that the intrument in hand ^ ^! (This is my first pad eh)

All that to say that this unit is super! The pads are used to the controller drums or search for notes synths (hard to play with different velocities on the other hand is not a normal keyboard).

A MUST is the 8 assignable knobs that I use the controller has various filters and LF0 ect ..

All this for a ridiculous price ... at first I bought it more for fun than I need, and finally do let go!
