The Akai Professional APC64 is a cutting-edge 64-pad RGB-backlit performance controller designed specifically for Ableton Live.

With a robust metal chassis and USB connectivity, it delivers seamless integration and durability for professional musicians and producers aiming to elevate their creative workflow.

## Description

When the MPC60 launched in 1988, Akai Professional blazed the trail for a unique way to get hands-on with your sound, and the indelible groove created by finger drumming cemented a distinct, immediately recognizable style of beat crafting and sampling. The APC series of instruments married this model with Ableton Live’s hybrid studio/live-performance architecture to elevate the creative potential of the software suite, and the APC64 is the modern musician’s answer to Ableton Live-driven performance. An 8-by-8, RGB-backlit, 64-pad matrix includes both velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch, while a surrounding constellation of multi-mode buttons comprises detailed, comprehensive navigation and performance tools.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone gets it to work? I got 2 of them but it's not recognized from my computer. I tested 5 different computers including desktop.**
A: It may not work properly with any version of Ableton below 10. I'm not sure if that's the problem but I heard it online that it might not function with older versions of Live.

**Q: sirve para trabajar con sunlite2 ?**
A: Si

**Q: Can this midi pad controller work with GarageBand on Mac ?**
A: I think it could work with Garage Band but you wouldn't get the full functionality. Since it was designed to work with Ableton it has a specific "language" that makes the LEDs color correspond to the clip colors on Abletons session view. It's full potential is in being a controller to trigger clips in session view so in my opinion it would be a waste for any other DAW and you would be better off with a midi controller that's designed for a more diverse set of conditions instead of the APC mini which is so specific to Ableton session view. It's a one trick pony but it does its one trick pretty well.

**Q: Can the apc mini mk2 be used with software other than live?  are the keypads / faders assignable to midi messages?**
A: Yes keypads and faders are MIDI messages and can be assigned to other apps.
