Smooth project navigation

Dedicated buttons allow you to move easily within your project, both horizontally and vertically, to quickly access all available tracks and clips.

Creative modes for performance and production

Notes, Drum and Smart Scale

The three performance modes greatly expand creative possibilities: Note mode allows you to play melodies without mistakes, Drum mode offers seamless integration with Ableton's Drum Rack, and Smart Scale provides immediate visual feedback on selected musical scales.

Expressive control of virtual instruments

With these modes, you can use the APC Mini MK2 not only for launching clips, but also as a true controller for playing virtual instruments in the studio or live.
