Dear Synth Lovers,
I just bought an AKAI LPD8 Mk II MIDI controller, programming it was no problem.
Now, I blindly assumed I could hook it up to a MIDI Keybd so I could sent MIDI/cc commands, using the knobs,
to a MIDI Keybd in order to change sound parameters.
The problem is can not find any info on how to do that and AKAI web support shows contradicting info whether this is even possible,
suggesting you can use the LPD8 only to connect to a PC/laptop to control a DAW.
The LPD8 has a USB-B MIDI port and my Keybd also has (the same) USB-B MIDI port.
Should it work when I buy a USB-B to USB-B cable connecting the LPD8 to my MIDI Keybd (Korg Kross)?
Or is the LPD8 intended only to hook it up to a PC/laptop?
Any suggestion is more than welcome!
