About Akai APC64

Under the sleek and advanced design of the APC64 Next-Generation Ableton Live Controller, you'll find an intuitive and high-quality music production tool that's built to last. This durable controller is designed to work seamlessly with Ableton Live, a leading digital audio workstation, providing real-time control and manipulation of your music.

The APC64 features a vibrant 8x8 pad matrix of 64 RGB velocity-sensitive pads with poly aftertouch. These pads are perfect for playing chords, synth leads, and Ableton Live's Drum Racks, as well as launching Clips in Session View. The controller also boasts 8 fully assignable Touch Strips with RGB LED indicators, adding a new level of expression and control to your music production and live performances.

This next-generation controller is equipped with a high-resolution, multi-touch display for easy navigation and control of Ableton Live's devices, including Auto Filter, Delay, Reverb, Impulse, Simpler, and more. Adjust macros, mixer volume, pan, and effects sends, as well as writing automation, all from the convenience of the APC64.

The APC64 also functions as a standalone 32-step 8-track Step Sequencer and controller with 3 MIDI ports and 8 CV/Gate outputs, allowing you to take full control of synths, drum machines, or modular rack devices.

The APC64 also includes a smart color LED screen with a fast push encoder for real-time visual feedback of your parameters. This feature allows you to move around Ableton Live's devices and mixing environments while keeping track of each parameter on the screen.

The APC64 is designed to facilitate a seamless workflow within Ableton Live, from triggering samples and loops in Ableton Live's Drum Rack to writing expressive melodies using the Notes, Scale, and Chord modes. The onboard Step Sequencer allows you to generate inventive melodic patterns that can be instantly transferred to Ableton Live using the Send To Clip function.

The APC64 also includes Ableton 11 Lite and a collection of professional plug-in instruments and effects, so you can start producing out of the box. The included desktop software editor for Mac/PC allows you to create your own custom layouts and store presets for quick recall in standalone mode.
