Lpd8 - What to do?
Posted on: 15.03.2011 by Leonardo Papajohn
So I have an extra Lpd8 board. Well pretty much a whole fully working lpd8, only problem is the pads i have for it wont make it trigger, but if i use a different pads it works. (I used the single pad it comes with to prove that it does work)

So really, I would just need a replacement set of pads.

BUT FIRST, I wanna see if any of you have any ideas on what I could do with it? Mod ideas, etc?

i'm looking to do the same thing..

This nanokontrol mod is pretty much the same as your lpd8;
You could just mount the velocity buttons still on their original pcb on the underside of a new case, desolder the original pots and wire in nicer ones, and add faders or any other analogue x/y components to the some of the pot connections if you wish.

He added extra arcade buttons to a keyboard pcb which might be an option because replacing velocity sensitive pads with arcade buttons seems counterproductive, i've read comments from people saying they prefer the pads to buttons.

yeah, go for arcade mod, unsolder the potis (keep 'em, use them in new case) and get a new fancy case

might end up with something like my CLONE (Visit my Blog [-> Signature] for DIY-Tutorial)

you'd need to build a new case at least and no idea on how hard it would be to solder

Would look the shit if you got some arcade buttons and green knobs! ;-)
