## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this work with garageband? for mac**
A: Yes. If the software supports midi it will support this device. But I suggest just saving up a little more for an mpk25 or one of the other keyboard/drum pad combos. Also I was dissatisfied with the sensitivity of the pads themselves. Ended up reselling mine on craigslist within 2 months of buying it.

**Q: Can it be used wired instead of wireless**
A: AKAI support here! The LPD8 is wired only. If you're referring to the newer model, LPD8 Wireless, it can be used via Bluetooth or USB connection. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me directly at mvieira@inmusicbrands.com.

**Q: Can this be used with serato stems?**
A: Hi, Akai Pro support here! You can create a manual mapping for the LPD8 within Serato Stems by following the instructions in this support article: support.serato.com/hc/en-us/articles/5732598890127

**Q: Will this work for sure with a chromebook laptop (acer)? akai support (2017) says it may.**
A: AKAI support here! Technically, because the included software won't work on a Chromebook due to the OS, we can't guarantee your full purchase will work. The LPD8 should connect just fine since it doesn't require drivers. As long as you find another program that works on Chrome OS and supports the LPD8, you should be fine. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call or email us using the contact information on akaipro.com/support.

パッド系のコントローラーはKORGのpadKontrol、nanopad、M-audioのTrigger Finger Pro、AKAIのMPC Elementを使ってきました。 AKAIのMPDをはじめて購入しましたが、一番使いやすいです！ パッドは固過ぎずMPCのような感じでもなく、反応も良いので、とにかく快適です。MPC500も使っていた時期がありますが、MPCのパッドより個人的には好きです。MPC Elementとも違います。 値段でコンパクトな割に安っぽさもなく、ノブの質感がとても良くて気に入ってます。 クルクル回ってしまう感じではなく、しっかりと重みがあって微調整し易いです。 ロータリーエンコーダーなのも良いです。 付属ソフトのSONiVOX製品の音がとても良くて気に入ってます。AKAIに製品登録すれば簡単にダウンロードして使うことが可能です。 個人的にAKAI MPC Essentialsは使い難いので使っていませんが、Ableton Live Liteも付属しているので、他にソフトも持っていない人でも、MPD2だけ買えばトラックメイクは十分できると思います。
