Akai - APC Mini MK2
The Akai APC Mini MK2 is an ultra-compact controller designed for Ableton Live, featuring an 8x8 matrix of RGB pads, 9 assignable faders and scene launch buttons. It features three creative modes (Drum, Notes and Smart Scale) for fluid playing, triggering and creating. Ideal for both studio and live use, it fits perfectly into any mobile setup.
Presentation
Thanks to its 8x8 matrix of backlit RGB pads, users can trigger clips, scenes or loops with instant visibility of the status of their set. Each pad can display an Ableton-accurate colour palette, making visual organisation clear and intuitive.
The controller's compact size doesn't prevent it from offering comprehensive ergonomics. Its 9 programmable faders are perfect for adjusting volumes, effects or any other automation. Dedicated scene buttons and soft keys make it easy to navigate the clip grid, while directional arrows let you move freely around the session.
Three play modes optimise its use: Drum mode, designed to dialogue directly with Ableton's Drum Racks; Smart Scale mode, which highlights the notes available in the selected scale; and Notes mode, for simple melodic playing on virtual instruments. The unit is USB-powered, with no external power supply required, making it a natural choice for on-the-go creators.
Supplied with Ableton Live Lite and a collection of AIR Music Technology instruments, the Akai APC Mini MK2 offers a complete package for starting or enhancing a clip launching, beatmaking or live looping production. It's a simple, high-performance, portable solution for immersing yourself in the creative world of Ableton.
