I think I might have to get one. Seems decent. If this had touch sensitive strips for mod and pitch wheel would be supreme.

I have the AKAI LPK25 and I love it… Ableton Live 8 loves it as well. What brought me to your site was a search for tutorials about certain aspects of Ableton, specifically effect racks, macros, and chains…which have alluded my comprehension— until you explained it. I appreciate your clear concise manner and had to subscribe. Thank you very much!

“Laptop Performance Keyboard” is so wonderful, we can use it as Laptop Keyboard.

Rupert,

Thanks so much for the review. Love your website. Nothing that can be used as a mod-wheel in this keyboard?

hi vagellis, you may need to sync the LPK5 with the software host. a lack of sync might explain why you are hearing a delay

Hi Vagellis,
I have not used sibelius before so I might not be much help, I dont think the LPK25 should be producing the delay. Delay problems I have had with MIDI have always come down to audio interface settings. In sibelius make sure you have as small a sample rate as possible say 12ms. The lower the number the less delay the system will have but it will need more CPU so you will have to experiment.
Other wise it might be a sibelius setting I am not familuar with.

Good Luck!

Excellent presentation, but let me ask about my problem during recording. Today the first day I tried on my laptop with sibelius 5 and LPK25. The problem was the delay about one 8th down the beat. I mean attack delayed. I am a pianist so no problem with my fingers.How could fix the delay or attack number? Sorry for my terrible English.
Thankin you in advance

Congratulations on a killer review on the LPK25. The only video I could find that intelligently examines this unit's features. Based on your report I plan to purchase this unit.
Many thanks for your effort.

The NanoKey sucks as a keyboard, i use mine to trigger clips in Live, much better use for it, but not worth it if you looking for something to trigger clips, there are a million options out there is better. Only reason i use nanokey is that it's all i got for the moment.
