AKAI Professional APC Mini MK2 is a compact MIDI controller designed to offer immediate and intuitive control of Ableton Live's Session View. With seamless "Control Surface" integration, the controller automatically adapts to your project, allowing you to manage clips, scenes and parameters without having to use a mouse.
The matrix consisting of 64 RGB backlit pads enables faithful representation of clip colors in Ableton Live, improving visibility during performance. You can launch clips, record loops, and control entire scenes instantly and precisely.
Dedicated buttons allow you to move easily within your project, both horizontally and vertically, to quickly access all available tracks and clips.
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.
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.
The 9 faders allow you to control volume, pan, send, and device parameters. In Device mode, the controls automatically map to effect and instrument macros, facilitating automation and sound management.
Essential functions such as Solo, Mute, and track arm are immediately accessible, enabling a smooth and professional workflow during any performance or production session.
By registering the controller on the Akai Professional website, you gain access to a comprehensive software bundle that includes Ableton Live Lite and three virtual instruments from AIR Music Tech, ideal for electronic and modern productions.
