THE'AKAI APC64 redefines the controller standard for Ableton Live, offering an advanced control interface for music producers and stage artists. This new generation controller is equipped with 64 RVB pads sensitive to cycling and poly-aftertouch, offering a precise and expressive touch response. In addition, its eight fully assignable touch bands allow smooth and intuitive control of musical parameters.
The 64 bike-sensitive RVB pads allow you to launch clips, play beats and create melodies with exceptional precision. The poly-aftertouch adds an additional dimension to your performance, allowing subtle variations of dynamics and expression. Compose melodies, create progressions of unique agreements and experiment with innovative rhythmic patterns thanks to the integrated 8-track sequencer and 32-step. Probability and Mutate features bring a touch of creative unpredictability, stimulating your musical inspiration.
Navigate in Ableton Live with a disconcerting ease. Dedicated transport controls (reading, stopping, recording) and stage launch buttons allow you to manage your sessions in real time without effort. The color screen displays clear information on your levels and controlled settings.
Use APC64 independently to control your MIDI and CV equipment. With its 8 CV / Gate outputs and MIDI inputs/outputs, it is perfectly equipped to interface with your Eurorack synths, modules, keyboards and drums. Power it by USB for maximum portability.
The APC64 comes with a collection of air instruments and Sonivox VST / AU plugins, enriching your sound palette with keyboards, classic synths, reverberations and high-quality vocal treatments. A license of the Ableton Live Lite software is also provided with the hardware to allow you to compose, loop and perform with transparent integration.
APC64 is designed for musicians and producers who seek to improve their workflow and explore new creative dimensions. Its combination of intuitive touch control, advanced sequencing and autonomous versatility makes it an essential tool for any modern musical production configuration. Invest in APC64 and discover a new era of musical opportunities.
