Traktor & Akai Lpd 8
Traktor & Akai Lpd 8 Posted on: 06.01.2010 by Chasidy Steeby Hi out there! I know there is another thread about this subject but It dosen't answers me on my questions. Okay here is the deal. Im a knew on the hole dj'ing thing, and I got an Akai Lpd8 this week. I wanna use it as an FX controller for my Reloop Digital Jockey 2. But I believe I have the wrong "setup" for the editor (Software), because I've been following some guides, and the first thing I do, is to loade a certain preset, into the editor, then I open Traktor and add the maching TSI file to the Midi Setup. But nothing happens, and it's like Traktor isent responding or reacting when I push any pads on the Lpd. The blue Midi button in the top isen't lighting up netiher. Or If I try to use "Learn" under the mapping, nothing is happening when I try to push some of the pads? I would really appreciate if anyone could or would try to help me | |

| Chasidy Steeby 10.01.2010 | Well I found out that the editor is the problem... It wouldn't respond to my changes (Nothing happens when i push "commit upload".... and I don't know what to do? I've tryed to install it trough their homepage instead of the cd, but it dosen't change anything... I'm Desperart |

| Bertram Shiflett 09.01.2010 | yes there is service pack 3 for xp |
| Donovan Whobrey 10.01.2010 | Maybe you can send an e-mail to akai and ask for a driver for windows xp service pack 2. I don't know but is there a service pack 3 for windows xp?Maybe you can try that. |
| Chasidy Steeby 09.01.2010 | well It's exacly the same problem that I got, but the thing is I run with Winodows XP Service Pack 2? |
| Donovan Whobrey 07.01.2010 | When i first connected the lpd8 to my laptop i couldn't load presets into my lpd8. When i tried to upload i didn't get the green message "upload done" and the midi signals wheren't recognized in traktor pro. I tried everything but nothing worked. When i was looking arround on other site's i get the tip to look wich service pack i was using of vista. And it seems that the lpd8 software only worked with the service pack 2. So i did the update and afterwards everything worked. |

| Donovan Whobrey 07.01.2010 | I had the same problem with my lpd8 in combination with my reloop digital jockey 2. With me it was solved by doing an update of windows vista. |
| Doug Bieling 06.01.2010 | have you tried with the pads set to pads and cc ? not sure what the actual difference is but its a possibility this could be your issue. |
