Akai APC Mini MKII Controller

Slimline, compact and immensely powerful, the Akai APC Mini MKII Controller is the newest incarnation of Akai's popular clip-launching controller, utilising both versatile functionality and control within Ableton Live sessions in a mighty yet efficient way. Making it perfect for everything from creative looping, remixing and overall experimenting.

An ideal choice for the musician or producers looking to take their controller wherever their next project or show takes them, the AKAI APC Mini MK II showcases a scaled-down and practical design that can fit into bags with ease.

Key Features:

64 RGB-Backlit Pads: Making integration between Ableton Live easy, the Akai APC Mini MKII Controller features 64 new RGB-backlit pads for specific and effortless representation of your session clips. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the RGB-enabled pad matrix supplies immense functionality that can always be relied on, whether it's launching or activating loops, instruments, vocals and much more.

Immersive Music Creation Experience: Enabling performers to simply trigger loops, samples, melodies or even entire scenes, the APC Mini MKII allows owners to let their imagination run wild at the push of a pad. With 64 RGB backlit pads spread across a customisable 8x8 grid, the APC Mini articulately reflects the clips within their Ableton Live Session.

Impressive Control: Presented with 9 faders to tweak either the volume, pan or insert effect sends, the APC Mini MKII offers intuitive control for users during sessions. Whether it's altering a reverb, sweeping filters or even writing automation, the AKAI APC Mini MK II Controller does it all. In addition, the faders are automatically mapped to the eight Macro Controls of Ableton Live's selected device, meaning you can simply control various parameters to create completely authentic sounds.

Launch with Ableton Live Lite: Including Ableton Live Lite software, the APC Mini MKII enables users to start creating and making music with this premium clip-launching DAW that's jam-packed with instruments, mixing effects, samples and the option to track both audio and MIDI.

Drum Mode for Ableton Drum Rack: Another nifty feature on the APC Mini Mark II is Drum Mode, showcasing effortless integration with Ableton's Drum Rack which isolates a 4x4 quadrant of the pads whilst allowing you still assing the remaining pads. The result is an impressive hands-on performance that's a must in both live shows and studio sessions.
