The LPK25 laptop performance keyboard from Akai Professional is a USB-MIDI controller that shares compatibility with virtually all audio software, making it the ideal music-making tool for artists on the go. Compact but powerful, this controller is packed with great features so you can take your creativity beyond the bounds of a studio. This keyboard is ideal for musicians, producers, DJs, and anyone else who wants to work with their favorite computer software while retaining the optimized sound expression of a piano-style keyboard.
Create wherever your imagination takes you with the LPK25. This controller is designed as a scaled-down version of Akai Pro’s MPK series of keyboard performance controllers. Weighing less than a pound, and measuring in at less than 13 inches long, the LPK25 is perfect for slipping into a laptop case, backpack, messenger bag, or gig bag whenever inspiration strikes.
Its extreme portability doesn’t compromise on features, however. Its compact keyboard is comprised of 25 small, velocity-sensitive keys with synth action, so you can enjoy enormous expressiveness and precise melodic control. This makes the LPK25 a great choice for keyboardists who want to experiment with software on their computer, without giving up the intuitive gestures of a keyboard.
The LPK25’s plug-and-play functionality is compatible with Mac and PC, with no need for software driver installation or wall power. It’s powered by a USB bus, meaning you don’t need any additional power cables.
Four programmable memory banks are built into the LPK25 for streamlined programming and setting recall—giving you high-tech versatility without detracting from its user-friendly and intuitive layout. Its other features include easy-to-navigate controls for sustain, octave up and down, and tap tempo. Additionally, an arpeggiator automatically steps through chords, giving you the shortcut you need so you can focus on composing.
