The Akai APC40 MKII is a dedicated controller for Ableton Live that features automatically mapped controls for easy out-of-the-box performance. A grid of 40 RGB-lit buttons for clip launching plus faders and encoders for controlling eight channels and the master give you complete control over your arrangement and mix. A bank of eight encoders for macro control let you manipulate effects and instruments as well. The Akai APC40 MKII improves on almost every aspect of the APC40 MKI, packing everything you need for next level Ableton performances into a controller you can fit in your backpack.
