From the legendary MPC Series which completely changed the world of music production to the unique MPD and MPK Controllers, all equipment from Akai Professional is prefered by musicians, DJs and producers when it comes to the right feeling. The computer quickly becomes a side effect and does not have to be concentrated on.Ībleton chose Akai Professional as a partner because Akai Professional is the market leader for professional and robust manufactured controllers. Due to the visual feedback the user focuses more on the music and not on the display when working with the APC40. Thanks to these LED rings the parameters can be read on a dark stage. The APC40 has 16 additional controllers which are each surrounded by an LED ring. This workflow is quite unusual, but becomes routine after a time. Different coloured features show the status of the clip.

The 40 triggers and LED rings of the clip matrix show the status of the live software in real time: which clip has been loaded, which clip is playing or which clip is recording. This unique bi-directive communication enables feedback from the software to the controller. The communication between the APC40 and Live is in both directions. Experienced live users can change the operation of every field and configurate each controller depending on the type of performance. In order to start a performance straight away, only a simple USB connection between laptop and APC40 is necessary.

This way an operation of the software is no longer necessary. Due to the close cooperation with Ableton no controller operation is necessary during access.ĭue to the concentrated cooperation between Akai Professional and Ableton when developing the APC40 for live performances a special focus was put on the comfortable connection of the controller to the live software. Equipped with an integrated clip matrix with multicolour LEDs and premium conrols includng aa changeable crossfader, the APC40 is ideal for every user who works live or in a studio due to the bi-directive communication between hard- and software.

The brand new APC40 Ableton Performance Controller was created due to the close partnership with Ableton and is the perfect controller for live performances.
