Akai APC40 MKII Controller
Akai and Ableton Do it Again
An updated version of Akai’s 2009 collaboration with the creators of Ableton Live, the Akai APC40 MKII Controller showcases a re-imagined design based upon five years of user feedback and the company’s dedication to improving their product. With an intuitive, organized layout and the technology to fully customize the controller according to the user’s specific needs, the APC40 MKII is great for composing, recording, mixing, and more.
Design Highlights
The APC40 MKII comes with a 5 x 8 RGB clip-launching grid that allows you to create or perform using 40 responsive triggers. Customizable RGB lighting and the ability to manipulate the scope of the 5 x 8 grid provide the use with enhanced visual organization. The controller also has assignable faders and knobs, including nine reinforced faders and eight channel control knobs. The A/B crossfader is also assignable.
Included Production Pack
Pre-mapped to Abelton Live (version 9.1.3 or later), the APC40 MKII also comes with a production library that includes Abelton Live Lite with Puremagnetik Effect Racks, Hybrid 3 by AIR Music Tech, SONiVOX Twist, Prime Loops sample packs, and Toolroom Records artist launch packs.
