AKAI APC-KEY25-MK2 25-Key MIDI Controller for Ableton Live with RGB Pads

Take control of your Ableton live experience with the APC Key 25 Mk2 MIDI keyboard controller. Forty backlit RGB pads present a brilliant palette for your creative vision. Precisely representing clips from your Ableton session and allowing you to trigger loops, samples, melodies, or entire scenes with confidence in any environment. The power to breathe life into your music lies in your hands. Eight endless 360 knobs adjust volume, pan, effect, and more, giving you powerful real-time control to shape your performance as the moment dictates. Express your melodic side on the 25 key Gen 2 dynamic keybed. Backfill with ethereal chords and soundscapes, punctuate with arpeggios, or play the solo that brings it all together. And those pads aren't just for clips. Drop the APC Mini into drum mode and 16 pads, a 4x4 quadrant, seamlessly become percussion instruments within Ableton's drum rack, while the other 48 pads remain freely assignable. And when the modulation kicks in, the Mini has you covered with real-time key and scale control. You'll always know what key you're in with Smart Scale View and you'll never play out of it in notes mode. APC Mini MKII. The power to create your way.
