Akai LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard

The LPK25 is a scaled-down version of the MPK series of keyboard performance controllers. It features 25 miniature, velocity-sensitive keyboard keys with synth action, making it ideal for keyboard players who want to work with software on their computer.

For creating quick melodic ideas, the LPK25's arpeggiator is the perfect assistant. Other controls include sustain, octave up and down, and tap tempo, all in an easy-to-learn layout.

The LPK25 is plug and play with both Mac and PC, needing no software driver installation or wall power. It also has four memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to different software programs you may use.
