A good pad controller at a great price!

So first why I bought this pad controller.
I start soon with a few colleagues to produce electronic music, by the way I put on parties on.
I bought the controller mainly supplementing the Akai APC40, and a keyboard. About the APC40 I ​​control smaller traces of which have been previously produced. With the keyboard I bring a couple of tunes, a live. The LPD8 I use it now in different. Sectors to change (in Ableton) to play larger parts simultaneously and make the odd live drum insert. The knobs, I control different, parameter effect. The effects I start in a sepperate Prog, with the pads.

Now my judgment to the controller:

positive:
- Price !!!
-The Pads are organge backlit nice and big and when activated, makes visually quite what her
-By Setting different. Programs can run many options with the LPD8, although it is then a little fingerfärtigkeit to needs but that 'you have to have at each device
-In The supplied program you can adjust everything what you want. (Channel assignment etc.)
-Plug & Play - simply join it and it runs immediately. However, I still have channels assigned since I work with multiple devices
- Rubber nubs on the bottom - the device is very light (also a positive point) but does not slip off even when pressing the pad
- Compact built - the controller is relatively small and very compact. Therefore this really fits in anywhere yet. Also traveling on the train, for example, this probably also good if you have just one or the other good idea for a new track
- Kompitabel with Traktor, Ableton (Plug & Play), FL Studio (Plug & Play) ... eitgl with all programs which are open for Midi devices.

negative:
- The case had a little game when it was on the table. Position After a bit but that was resolved
- The positive punk "Robust installed" I can not connect my prescribing me. It is a Plasikgehäuse and makes a not so great impression. (Possibly still room for improvement?)
- The knob (potentiometer) can be rotated through 270 °. They are neither backlit nor how the pads you can see how those are just in the dark well. Luminous Color od. Led background would have been as good
- Mini-USB (-> ATTENTION personal opinion !!!
I summarize:

On the whole, I am enthusiastic about the LPD8. The expressed favorable price has made me sit up firstonce, but then directed me to buy. And I do not bereuhe. The LPD8 is a very good controller with many nice options. It's fun to work with him and he never interferes in your pocket (compact).
Whether effects import when making contact, presenting a small drum insert, or in producing integrated options. The LPD8 does what I want.

Thank Akai, I am satisfied!

your Matze.
