How To Install and Use Akai LPD8 Editor on Mac OSX
We don’t use Mac, but it the procedure shouldn’t be hard* :
- Download Akai LPD8 Editor for Mac and install it:
- Unzip downloaded .zip archive
- Double-click .dmg file
- Drag app file into /Applications
- Connect Akai LPD8 via USB cable
- 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.
