Need a small MIDI Controller with knobs and some buttons

[drmarciano]

Just bought AKAI LPD8 for Cue control using my Reloop DJ2 Interface and Traktor PRO.
After a few tutorials of presets and mapping (just check on google u will find it - djtechtools forum) i'm really happy with it =)

thanks everyone, the LPD8 looks like what i need. 50 bucks from Amazon.

Ive done farts that last longer that the Korg Nano Series... Not worth the money. You will end up buying something else very soon , especially if you gig and have to put it in and out of your gig bag.

The Akai series is a winner. Well built and they feel good to use.

the mpk Mini is pure sex...

yep... lpk25 got violated by an lpd8

+1 to general AKAI recommendations. I've gone throught 3 (yes - THREE) nanopads since I got the lpd8 and the lpk25. the korgs are nice design-wise but the build quality is poor, to say the least.

korg nanokontrol is not like korg nanopad, I have two for 4 months and they are still rocking

i like that, but the Akai is perfect for what i need, knobs and pads. Knobs for effects and pads for beat juggling.

apc40!

sorry, i feel i have to post in every thread about this now

Faderfox maybe

Or the new vestax pad one for a little better build quality that the Korg series. At least I think it'll be better, it's not released yet so no one really knows.

the one at bpm was better built
