| Cathi Bannasch 13.07.2011 | Just bought one on amazon for about 53$. I plan on giving this baby some arcade buttons, but i have not quite thought of a housing for it. I might just make one at work with some spare scrap metal. Hard telling how big the lpd8 is just from pictures and listed measurements online. Looks like fun though. |
| Elsy Wisely 13.07.2011 | Iv already got it all apart! Lol i believe im going to lay a white base coat to the "shell" then do some custom graffiti for the button labels and fader volumes and mabby my dj name or somthin crazi across the middle! |
| Cindi Freiler 12.07.2011 | Watch out! Use special paint. And be careful around the pad and knobs. I suggest cutting out the template on a piece of paper or thin plastic, designing it and using it as a faceplate. |
| Elsy Wisely 12.07.2011 | THx for all the posts guys Got some pretty cool ideas im believein about doing. Going to start with a custom paint job after i break it down! |
| Cindi Freiler 12.07.2011 | Great! Thanks for the review! |
| Judi Sissel 12.07.2011 | I like it! Its nice and compact, feel like its built well, comes great with support sw. I am using it for very simple functions in traktor, but I believe I wanna try and add in some functions once I get my hands on ableton. For the price I dont believe you can beat it. |
| Cindi Freiler 12.07.2011 | How is the LPD8? believeing about buying it |

| Arcelia Siebeneck 10.07.2011 | except Nanopads are shoddy and seem to break easily (my experience at least). I can't recommend the LPD8 enough as a midi controller brain... its cheap and provides a decent amount of analogue/digital ins/outs. |
| Chasidy Heckenbach 10.07.2011 | almost seems a shame to mod an lpd8 - being how well it's made to begin with etc. better mod a nanopad no led feedback on that tho ofc.. |

| Leonardo Papajohn 09.07.2011 | You can mod an lpd8, you can add arcade buttons new pots and faders. http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=28253 and search some of milo's post hes got some stuff on modding an lpd8 also. I'll post you some pictures of my modded lpd8 soon as i can |
| Estefana Musfeldt 08.07.2011 | i don't believe i have ever seen any lpd8 mods on here, i have been here for a while. the lpd8 unit i found when i opened it up to fix mine, there is not much room for modding and its sturdy build quality means it is an epic task to take it all apart, just warning you in advance it can be a cluster fuck. thought i had totally bricked mine but luckily it started working again after a month of lying in a draw, i honestly don't how or why |
