Ableton Live Controller with 64 Velocity-Sensitive Pads and 8 Assignable Touch Strips!
The new Akai Professional APC64 is a powerful next-generation Ableton Live controller for studio and live performance. It features 64 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with poly-aftertouch and 8 fully assignable touch strips for instant control of devices, pitch, modulation, and much more. APC64 also functions as a standalone 32-step 8-track step sequencer and controller with 3 MIDI ports and 8 CV/Gate outputs to control synthesizers, drum machines, or modular rack units.
In-Depth Control Over Ableton Live
Enter the Matrix
APC64 features a vibrant 8x8 pad matrix with 64 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with poly-aftertouch for playing chords, synth leads, Ableton Live’s drum racks, and of course launching clips in the session view.
Touch the Future
Take your music production and live performances to a new level of expression and control with 8 fully assignable touch strips featuring RGB LED indicators. You have control over Ableton Live devices—including Autofilter, Delay, Reverb, Impulse, Simpler, and more—right at your fingertips. Adjust macros, mixer volume, pan, and effect sends, and write automation.
Visual Feedback and Control
APC64 features an intelligent LED color display with a fast push encoder for real-time visual feedback of your parameters. Navigate Ableton Live’s devices and mixing environments while keeping every parameter in view on the screen. APC64 also includes dedicated transport controls with play, stop, and record buttons to capture your ideas, plus 8 track mute and solo buttons for mixing and live performance.
Standalone Step Sequencing
The APC64 features an internal 32-step 8-track step sequencer that lets you control your favorite synthesizers completely independent of a DAW. With 8 CV/Gate outputs and 3 1/8" MIDI ports, you can connect, sequence, and record your preferred modular racks, keyboards, classic drum machines, and more. Add smooth control and expression with the 8 touch strips to reach a whole new level of performance. Use the Probability, Velocity, and Mutate functions to apply additional creative dimensions to MIDI notes for further experimentation.
Powerful Production and Performance
APC64 enables a seamless workflow in Ableton Live: from triggering samples and loops in Ableton Live’s drum rack to writing expressive melodies with Notes, Scale, and Chord modes. Use the built-in step sequencer to create original melodic patterns you can instantly send to Ableton Live with the Send To Clip feature. Apply swing and quantization to your beats or use APC64 to punch in and record vocal tracks directly in Ableton Live sessions.
Ableton Drum Rack/Simpler Control
APC64 features a dedicated drum mode that lets you play and record beats, loops, and slices with an Ableton Live drum rack or Simpler device. Use the 8 touch strips to control Ableton Live’s FX racks during beat creation and performance.
