To pair LPK25 Wireless to your Bluetooth device:
1. Power on your Bluetooth device.

power switch to USB.
3. Press Pair once. The button will flash.

• Mac OS X: Press +Space, type Audio MIDI Setup, and open the Audio MIDI
Setup application. In the MIDI Studio window that appears, click the Bluetooth icon.

gear icon), and then tap Song. Tap Advanced, and then tap Bluetooth MIDI

Programs
You can store up to 4 programs in LPK25 Wireless’s internal memory. Each program includes
all configurable arpeggiator settings, described below in the Arpeggiator section.
To select a program, press and hold Prog Select, and press Prog 1, 2, 3, or 4.
To manage your programs, use the LPK25 Wireless editor software. Visit akaipro.com and

Arpeggiator
While using the arpeggiator, playing a chord causes the individual notes of the chord to play
one at a time in a set order and repeat until the chord is released. The arpeggiator affects
notes being played on the keyboard only.
To enable or disable the arpeggiator, press Arp On/Off.
