Korg Nanopad vs Akai LPD8
Korg Nanopad vs Akai LPD8 Posted on: 03.11.2010 by Clay Lorow So Ive been believeing about buying cheap controller for traktor to launch hot cues, loops and such stuff. These two have about the same price, so I can't decide which to get. Also, I am planing to start to learn Ableton, so which would be better? | |

| Maris Unnerstall 16.11.2010 | I would go with the LPD8 it is very good quality, ive heard the nanopad was a waste of money and time and it looks very cheap quality |
| Shane Alberg 15.11.2010 | Awesome, I just ordered a nanopad last evening (I had $20 in best buy bucks that expire in a few days, and I wanted a cheap pad controller). I actually wanted the Akai, but they didn't carry it. C'est la vie |
| Jonathon Erdem 15.11.2010 | The lpd8 was one of my smartest pickups. $50 for a strong, reliable and functional pad. |
| Leeanna Ayla 14.11.2010 | I would maybe wait for the Vestax Pad One http://www.vestax.com/v/products/det...19&parent_id=8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuJV7gxbs2E |

Luckily I have a warranty so I get a free one . Since then it has been working perfectly. The nanopad is awesome, but only for the XY pad. The pads are MUCH better on the lpd8(and they light up!), and it feels loosely put together, you could snap the thing in half easy. The KP3 Is amazing(with OS v.2) but if you want to do pure sampling the roland Sp-555 has 16 pads instead of 4, so that's better for creating an entire set of samples in front of you. The XY is fluid and using it as a midi controller is great too. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 11.11.2010 | The Kaoss Pad 3 is flat out fantastic. |
| Clay Lorow 06.11.2010 | Ok guys, I'm convinced. Its gonna be lpd8. But you talk bad stuff about Korg, is it Korg in generally or just this piece? I really love that Kaoss Pad 3, is it worth any? |
| Jewell Borbas 05.11.2010 | Nanopad is pure crap, I bought 1 unit, replaced by another defect unit. Decide to replace by LPD8. Happy |
| Derrick Laguerre 03.11.2010 | I cant vouch for the nanopad, but I have a LPD8 and its a really well built bit of kit. The only slight negative is that the knobs are a little short in height, but this is for portability. |
| Christia Shiraki 03.11.2010 | the nano pad will break on you |
| Nedra Fresneda 03.11.2010 | akai all the way, the korg's build quality is quite poor |
| Melinda Shick 03.11.2010 | I would choose the Akai purely for the Pots. |
