The Akai LPD8 MK2 MIDI pad controller is unrivalled in terms of pure pad performance. A pocket-sized instrument with superb pad quality that can handle the most dynamic performances, from punchy boom-baps to quick finger drumming, the new mk2 version of the LPD8 has the same velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit MPC pads as the flagship Akai Professional MPC X.

The LPD8 has eight RGB pads that give real-time feedback on your performances. Make use of the included editing software to arrange your audio files and sample files. You have total tactile control over your MIDI CC, plugin effects, or other settings with eight rotary knobs.

So do not be misled by the portable look; the LPD8 inherits the same solid construction of standalone MPCs and is tailored to travel with you.
