AKAI LP8 Mapping

I’ve been using an Akai LPD8 in my setup as a secondary controller along with my DVS system, and for the past year or two DJTT has really helped me, so I feel I should give something back, and this is the only thing I have which might be of some value to people. Decks C and D were used only for acapellas for me, so they’re only mapped for cue juggling and basic transport.

^ help with understanding this?

do you have a video of you using it it on youtube?

It’s good to see people contributing mappings for the LPD8 still. I’ll have to try this out later, and maybe adjust one of the banks to have 8 cue points. This seems like one of the best mappings I’ve seen out there for the LPD8. I was wondering, what’s the fader sweep suber knob?

Sorry guys I don’t have a video of me using it, it’s actually been a while since I’ve been DJing, but I can answer any questions you may have about it. I designed it in such a way that you can DJ with the LPD8 by itself or use it in conjunction with other controllers.

Thanks a lot! The LPD8 is one of my favourite controllers because it’s so robust and versatile. It’s saved me numerous times when I had Turntables and one just decided to stop working. And the Fader sweep super knob maps the armyofme effect. It’s great for build-ups. Its this one:

Sweet! I just might buy an LPD8 just for this if I decide to move to Traktor…

Hey, thanks for answering my questions about the mapping. Is there a way you could upload it here or to another site? It seems like the link you gave doesn’t work anymore. Also, how do you like using this with the S4? I have an S2 and hope to find a mapping that complements the S2.

can you re-up the file?

Hey guys, I just saw your posts about the download link being dead. I’ve since reformatted my computer but I’m going to check a couple of external hard drives I have and see if it’s still there.

that would be cool…thank you!

File availability?

Any update on getting your files? Thanks!
