The Akai Professional APC40 mkII is a USB-powered MIDI controller, designed for seamless integration with Ableton Live. Building on the success of the original APC40, the mkII version enhances features for live performances and music production.

• 5x8 RGB Clip-Launching Grid: Launch clips and create songs using 40 responsive triggers. RGB lighting provides visual feedback—indicating clip statuses (loaded, playing, recording)—and allows for advanced color-coding for organization.
• Assignable Controls: Nine channel faders, eight control knobs, and eight device control knobs are arranged in-line with each channel for intuitive navigation and real-time control over Ableton Live.
• Seamless Integration with Ableton Live: Pre-mapped to Live (version 9.1.3 or later) for immediate setup. Controls can be reassigned on the fly, offering flexibility for live performances.
• USB-Powered & Plug-and-Play: No external power supply needed. Connect via USB for both power and data transfer, perfect for both studio and stage use.
• Production Software Package Included: Includes Ableton Live Lite, Hybrid 3 by AIR Music Tech, SONiVOX Twist, and sample packs from Prime Loops and Toolroom Records, giving you a comprehensive suite for music creation.
