Dexterous, versatile, and powerful, APC mini is the most portable all-in-one USB powered plug-and-play Ableton controller solution with Akai Pro build quality crafted for on-the-go clip launching functionality. Engineered specifically for the mobile musician and the desktop producer, APC mini concentrates the essential features of the APC40 MKII, Akai Pro’s flagship Ableton controller, into a compact design that fits in your backpack. The result is a dynamic instrument that empowers you to make music with Ableton Live anywhere. APC mini features an expanded 8x8 multicolor clip-launching grid that’s built for hands-on exploration: launch clips and create or perform your song from the ground up using 64 responsive triggers. Tri-color lighting provides visual feedback and displays three clip statuses loaded, playing, and recording so you can intelligently perform without looking at your computer. Plus for expanded creative potential, use the Shift button and directional arrows to manipulate the scope of the 8x8 grid. With APC mini, nine channel faders allow you to mix with a reinforced fader design. Don just limit yourself to volume, change channel-fader functionality with the dedicated buttons for volume, pan, sends and device control: fade clips in and out of the mix; pan instruments to the left, right or center; raise the level of reverb or other effects to create fluid transitions; open and close filters for lush sweeps; and much more. Additionally, each fader is completely assignable for fully-customized mixing and mapping control. APC mini comes pre-mapped to Live for an instant performance and production setup. When APC mini is plugged into your computer, its hardware controls correspond 1 to 1 with Ableton Live’s interface-no additional configuring is required. Seeking a customised control layout? All of APC mini’s controls can be re-assigned on the fly for personalised setups that change with your performance or production style. Whether you are an electronic music artist and Live is your canvas, a DJ using Live for performance and real-time mixing, or a more traditional musician using Live on stage or in the studio, you will find the APC mini to be the intuitive, powerful instrument that directly links your inspiration with Ableton Live.
