The LPD8 MK2 puts eight velocity-sensitive RGB-backlit MPC pads and eight rotary controls into a 0.86 lb. USB MIDI controller.

The rotary knobs provide direct control over MIDI CC messages, plug-in effects, and other parameters. Four stored programs can be configured with the free downloadable editor software, making it a compact option for hands-on pad and parameter control.
