Akai Professional APC 64 Ableton Controller Product Details

Description

The AKAI APC64 is the powerful next-generation Ableton Live controller. It offers a new level of control and performance. With 64 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with poly-aftertouch in er 8x8 matrix, eight fully assignable touch strips, a revolutionary internal step sequencer, and much more, the Akai Pro APC64 is the future of Ableton Live hardware control.

Adjust vibrato, modulation, filter cutoff and other parameters with your fingertips. Adjust volume or effect sends to control your mix without missing a beat. Always keep track with the APC64's color display, which shows information about what you're controlling and where levels are.

Write unique melodies and chord progressions with Notes and Chords modes, which turn the 8x8 pad matrix into an expressive musical palette. When you're looking for inspiration, experiment with the Probability or Mutate functions to take your music in unexpected directions. Then capture the results instantly with the internal 8-track, 32-step sequencer.

Creative moments often happen away from the computer. The Akai APC64 is ready to control your MIDI/CV hardware for standalone, DAW-free functionality. Connect the APC64 via USB-C and connect your favorite synthesizers, Eurorack modules, keyboards, drum machines, and more.

The AKAI Pro APC 64 has 8x CV / Gate outputs as well as 1 MIDI In/2 MIDI Out ports (via mini TRS jacks). The standalone Step Sequencer allows up to 8 tracks with 32 steps and 16-note polyphony on each track. With the included APC Project Editor software, you can create your own layout and save presets for quick recall later.
