Akai LPK 25 And LPD 8 To Be Shown At This Month’s NAMM

akai-lpd-8

I have had my Akai MPC 1000 for several years now and still appreciate its craftmanship and accessability. At this year’s NAMM show in Nashville, Akai will unveil the LPK 25 and the LPD8 as the ultimate portable MIDI controllers. Not sure on the total specs but they seem to be bare bones at this moment. The LPD 8 is a drum pad only device and the LPK 25 has 25 full size keys, an argeggiator, controls for sustain, octave switching, and tap tempo. Any guesses on price points?

In the early days it was so much fun to use the Akia gear for lots of fun tricks in the studio. I think sometimes it’s still more fun to grab a piece of hardware instead of tweaking things in the computer.

does anybody know when they will come out???? I think I rather wait and buy these too rather than the Korg nanos

I would wait on these too. I tried all three of the nanos. The nanokontrol rocks! The nanokeys SUCK! They were totally useless IMHO. The nanopads were just okay too me… The only one that I didn’t return was the nanokontrol. If lpk25 keys are decent I will buy it. I really don’t need the pads.
