    apparently it is not always necessary to use the LPD8 editor for the mapping of the software. Traktor 2.0.6 + LPD8 you can map according learn in traktor and it suffit.l editor did not used ....

    No luck with AKAI

    Well after having troubles with the first generation of MPD24 (see my review on the subject), I contented myself with a small NANOPAD Korg. I for 2 years and has never failed.
    Party to purchase the additional NANOKONTROL, talking with the salesman he shows me the LPD8. And I would tell myself I'll take it too, it looks cool as hell. I like that 12 + 8 + pads in the pocket of knobs and more. All that to use GEIST successor Guru FXpansion or to program beats in addictive drums (although I prefer my schedule on electronic drums, I did not always handy).

    I take out the toy from the box. I'm updating the software (which I had not seen the installed mini-CD that I would not try to put in the…

    Well after having troubles with the first generation of MPD24 (see my review on the subject), I contented myself with a small NANOPAD Korg. I for 2 years and has never failed.
    Party to purchase the additional NANOKONTROL, talking with the salesman he shows me the LPD8. And I would tell myself I'll take it too, it looks cool as hell. I like that 12 + 8 + pads in the pocket of knobs and more. All that to use GEIST successor Guru FXpansion or to program beats in addictive drums (although I prefer my schedule on electronic drums, I did not always handy).

    I take out the toy from the box. I'm updating the software (which I had not seen the installed mini-CD that I would not try to put in the drive "eats-disk" in my macbook ... they are people who have tried it?). I plug the thing and then the mystery remains on a pad all the time.
    After verification, not change of scene, it gets stuck on the pad in question. J4essaie to see what happens in midi ... and is random. Often it is nothing at all.

    Anyway ... Back Service. As if I had it to do.

    All that to say that for the killjoys who treats the nano series ... Korg toy for a kid, I would say the clothes do not make the monk. In Akai, it looks solid on the outside, but it's hard at anything inside. And do not talk about quality control.

    Anyway my and my NANOPAD NANOKONTROL do not leave me. They even came with me on stage to drive Mainstage.

    I await the return of the AKAI to update this review. I figure that given the number of people happy, it's me who must have a bad fluid with this brand. At least this time it does not happen to me a few months after the end of the warranty.

    Annoyed

    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.
