How To Install and Use Akai LPD8 Editor on Mac OSX

We don’t use Mac, but it the procedure shouldn’t be hard* :

  1. Download Akai LPD8 Editor for Mac and install it:
    1. Unzip downloaded .zip archive
    2. Double-click .dmg file
    3. Drag app file into /Applications
  2. Connect Akai LPD8 via USB cable
  3. Open FL Studio and enable LPD8 MIDI controller in Settings

That should do it! Of course, you can later reprogram it, just as I did in this video. You don’t need step 1 in order to use it, Akai LPD8 is instantly recognized, however, you need LPD8 Editor later if you wish to reprogram pads and knob controllers.

* Note: In Akai LPD8 manual it is stated that you simply connect Akai LPD8 via USB first and then double-click .dmg first. We can’t confirm if there is any practical difference, so give it a try.
