ARCADE BUTTONS ON AN Akai LPD8

[gopoopsomewhere765]

Can you put arcade buttons on an Akai LPD8?

[Patch]

Can't see why not. You'd need a new faceplate, though...

[oskars]

Great idea! But you need to find a new housing for it! I'd Love to see that mod of the lpd8!

[photojojo]

It would be more like building a new controller using the LPD8 guts than putting arcade buttons on the LPD8, but there's nothing wrong with that.

[V-Hoff]

There are some thinner arcade buttons that should fit a lpd8 somewhere in the forums, can't remember right now in what thread... But you can always search it.

But I can't say anything about the button's quality

Out of curiosity why would you want to replace velocity sensitive pads with arcade buttons? Seems like a downgrade if anything.

[DJ Nada]

Why on earth would you want to do that? The pads are fantastic. Just build a 8 button midi fighter knockoff from scratch...

The pads are great. I perfer these rather than arcade buttons.
