Numark blatantly steals from Akai?

[Steve Zorilow]

because it's an LPD8 copy/paste with a new enclosure & knobs & firmware...

Looks excellent - I bet it'll be a lot more than an LPD8 though

also, it's funny that the USB port is in the same location as the LPD8... Numark have literally not done anything to the original Akai PCB design hahaha... lazy or what!

Going to repost this in here because it makes me chuckle every time:



Should've plugged in my USB cable now that I think about it....

Check out the 4 buttons which let you choose different banks on the LPD8. Those were copied in all details as well - with three of four having LED feedback. But opposed to the LPD8 there's no apparent reason for that on the Numark controller

this looks like a nice addition to a turntable set-up.

But why oh why have they put the usb connection on the front of the unit?!?

god your right that sucks.

Its exactly the same as the akai - the usb port is on the left of the casing on the akai. Literally all they have done is change the case!

And the name... I bet that took the marketing dept. weeks to come up with "NSP6"
That USB placement (or lack of it) really sucks! The only answer would be a right angled mini-USB connector (if such a thing exists)

Should be nice to have something next to my Twitch so I can control the sample decks.

Maybe the LPD8 was such a good product that it just needs a lick of paint to reach a new target market?

Cheeky marketing folks
