Its a basic Programmable controller
Good Quality compact controller, USB B can fail over time, shame it comes with no midi feedback. Versatile as it has dials and buttons. Wish you could lock buttons, ok value for money.

Excellent midi pad
Absolutely excellent midi pad. The AKAI software to configure it could use some improvements but it's ok.

Awkward software, annoying setup
As per usual, Akai are useless at software distribution. You have to download a piece of software and install it and run that piece of software to download the software you actually need to be able to customise the pads, programs and colours. The included music making software is trash they call award winning lol. Oh and whilst I’m at it all current MPCs are just crappy sub-laptop level computers with a horrible touch interface. They still have the best pads, tho, which is why I sold my MPC One and replaced it with this. The LPD8 is solidly built, compact and easy to use once you’ve gotten past the aforementioned software shenanigans. Four stars for the hardware - one star for the software

Use it as an additional controller for DJing
Really good quality. I use it as dedicated controller for Ableton LINK when I work with Traktor Pro 3 or FX panel when I use Djay Pro with Traktor S3 controller. It works pretty well. You can really easy to map it in Ableton, Traktor, Djay Pro and another software that support midi mapping. I think you can achieve absolutely any worflow that you need.

Insensitive
It's OK, but the drum pads are not very sensitive and my poor fingers are. So, much bashing and pain.

Great Akai product
It’s a typical Akai product. Durable, responsive, compatible, and comes with loads of bonus software. The pads are a little stiff. I gotta smack em purdy hard but they just need to be broken in. It’s compact and looks dope. Doesn’t feel too light and cheap or too heavy and out dated. Very durable. Connects via usb. Plug and play all day. If you travel bring it with you on the plane and plug it up to your laptop and you’re back at it. If you’re looking to run it as your main drum pad tho in a home studio setup drop the additional $100 and buy the studio MPD. This is definitely for travel purposes

Controller midi fantastico..
Prodotto fantastico, si presenta in un accattivante design curato e robusto. Configurato con tastiera KorgPA5X, funziona perfettamente, ho assegnato alcuni controlli midi relativamente ai volumi delle parti e alle funzioni della ritmica.. Peccato solo che i potenziometri non sono illuminati, sarebbe stato perfetto.. Merita comunque 5 stelle.
