I have the Akai Lpd8 laptop controller. I am running it through garageband and am wondering how i can set the knobs to certain effects and other parameters. Any other tips and tricks would be appreciated.
You cannot map the knobs on the LPD8 to anything in GB. One of GB's limitations is the lack of MIDI mapping. There are two options though.
1. The Korg nanokontrol can be used in GB09 with a plugin from the Korg site. The knobs and faders are all automatically mapped. It's pretty good for a small controller and reducing mousing.
2. The second generation M-Audio Axiom is mappable via their Direct Link plugin. If you are looking for a keyboard for GB it's a no-brainer.
