    Default Akai LPD8 and MPD's

    Is it possible put two LPD8 Side-by-side and map them to emulate the MidiFighter Instant Gratification mapping? Does anyone have any ideas/tutorials on how to do this?

    Off the top of my head, the IGM uses the MidiFighter banks mode so it will be extremely tough to emulate that in any other type of controller. I think you would need to set up a crapload of modifiers to achieve it on another controller... like more than you are allotted in TPro.

    I don't know enough about the LPD8. theoretically it would be possible if:

    you can change the midi notes
    you have multiple scenes of buttons
    you have the time/inclination to edit EVERY command in the mapping with midi learn.

    and even then it would be difficult.

    this is possible,because the LPD8 has an editor to change all knobs and buttons,you just need to know the midi notes for the 8 buttons on the midifighter and edit each LPD8...
