Okay, so i decided I needed an additional external MIDI Controller to control my effects in conjunction with my external Hercules controller. I had the Free version of Virtual DJ and upgraded to the pro version so that I could get licensing permission to download the mapping addons in order to use the external Akai LPD8. Until the LPD8 Editor get’s defunct for not being updated by Akai I can’t change the option in the editor when the software isn’t supported by modern day Mac computers. Seems rather sad that software with that type of interface, file size, etc is met by people who rely on this gear to work their craft.

How To Install and Use Akai LPD8 Editor on Mac OSX
We don’t use Mac, but it the procedure shouldn’t be hard* :
Akai Lpd8 Editor Download Mac Free
- 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.
