Versatile as it has dials and buttons. Wish you could lock buttons, ok value for money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use it as an additional controller for DJing *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 May 2024* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Price For Such A Good Controller *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 September 2026* I can't give a full 5 stars as mine came faulty, it worked very well for a while then stopped working entirely and wouldn't power up. However without taking into account the faulty unit this MIDI controller is absolutely amazing!Extremely useful for anyone thinking about starting music, makes a big change from making music with computer software, with MIDI controllers you can actually experience and feel the music by actually interacting and creating it by hand! So if you're a practical learner this is ideal for you, it's very intuitive to make music on a physical device and for the price you really cannot go wrong as it is an extremely good value for money!I use it personally alongside Ableton 12 and it works perfectly, also connects ans works well alongside my microphone and audio interface ## Frequently Bought Together - AKAI Professional LPD8 - USB MIDI Controller with 8 Responsive RGB MPC Drum Pads for Mac and PC, 8 Assignable Knobs and Music Production Software - LTGEM Hard Case for AKAI Professional LPD8 USB MIDI Controller(New Model), Inside: 13.3x"3.3"x2", Black+Red - AKAI Professional LPK25 - USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with 25 Responsive Synth Keys for Mac and PC, Arpeggiator and Music Production Software,black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/474224513-akai-professional-lpd8-usb-midi-pad-controller](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/474224513-akai-professional-lpd8-usb-midi-pad-controller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
