The Akai Professional APC64 is a next-generation USB MIDI controller designed for seamless integration with Ableton Live and standalone DAW-less hardware control. It features 64 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with poly-aftertouch, 8 assignable touch strips for dynamic control, and a powerful 8-track 32-step sequencer. This controller is USB-C bus-powered, making it convenient for studio or on-the-go use with synthesizers, drum machines, and modular gear. All customs duties and GST are included in the price, with tracked delivery via ExpressBox.
Unlock new creative possibilities with the APC64's bright 8x8 RGB pad matrix, offering visual feedback for notes, chords, and clip launching in Ableton Live. The touch strips allow for precise control over vibrato, modulation, pitch-bend, macros, and mixer parameters. Its internal sequencer enables real-time sequencing of external hardware, while functions like Probability and Mutate add unique dimensions to your MIDI notes for advanced production and performance experimentation.
Included with the APC64 is Ableton Live Lite, a versatile DAW for PC and Mac, along with VST/AU AIR instrument and insert plugins, and 1GB of loops from Sampletools by CR2 Records. This comprehensive package provides everything needed to start producing music immediately. For local alternatives, similar controllers may offer fewer pads or less advanced sequencing capabilities, often lacking integrated CV/Gate outputs and bundled software suites of this caliber.
