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 think 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
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.
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.
There are 4 buttons on the left… one says pads and one says cc these put the pads into different modes. Not played with mine much so it was just a quick blind suggestion from my findings in the brief time that ive had it out.
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
