The AKAI APC40 MK2 Midi Controller builds on five years of user experience with the original APC40, almost every aspect of which has been redesigned and improved to better suit demanding users. At first glance, you'll notice the reinforced fader design, redesigned knob layout and more. The APC40 MK2 is equipped with a 5×8 grid of pads. Their backlighting provides visual feedback and displays three clip states - loaded, playing and recording - so you can play intelligently without looking at your computer.
The APC40 MK2 is pre-mapped to Ableton Live (version 9.1.3 or later) for immediate use. When the AKAI APC40 MK2 is plugged into your computer, its hardware controls match the 1-to-1 interface of Ableton Live - no additional configuration required. In addition, all APC40 MK2 controls can be re-assigned on the fly for customized settings that change with your performance or production style. The APC40 mk2 is also USB powered and supports plug-and-play connectivity, allowing you to take it from the studio to the stage or wherever you go. Whether you are an electronic music creator and Live is your canvas, DJ using Ableton Live for real-time performance and mixing, or a more traditional musician using Live on stage or in the studio, The APC40 MK2 is intuitive, powerful tool, that connects you directly to Ableton Live.
