AKAI FIRE Controller for FL Studio DAW

Representing the first of its kind, the Akai Pro Fire is a dedicated hardware controller for the FL Studio DAW platform (sold separately). Designed and built in close collaboration with Image-Line, it's a high-performance tool that's engineered to provide an enhanced workflow and music-creating experience for all FL Studio producers.

Within seconds you’ll be creating patterns and building tracks using Fire's 4x16 matrix thanks to its plug-and-play integration. You'll be able to Instantly navigate the menus of the Channel Rack, Browser, Tool Bar, and Playlist without the need for clicking a mouse. It features a graphical OLED display that offers easy browsing and tactile control over the various files, menus, and parameters within your FL Studio session, and dedicated transport buttons provide you with full control of your music. When in Performance mode, Fire adeptly blurs the lines between instrument and controller with its ability to play and record notes in time using the velocity-sensitive RGB pads. Up to four (4) units can be connected to FL Studio at once (additional units sold separately), creating an 8x32 matrix for the ultimate Fire experience.

And finally, it's compatible with both PC and MAC to coincide with the release of FL 20.
