Description

The Essentials to Know About the Akai Professional APC Mini MK2 USB Controller



  • 8x8 Matrix of 64 RGB pads providing precise visual feedback of clips and Scenes in Ableton Live.

  • 9 faders (8 channels + 1 master) for volumes, pans, sends, and device control via Device mode.

  • Drum, Note, and smart scale display modes for flawless performances and more musical play.

  • Ultra-compact USB-powered format, with Ableton Live Lite and AIR plugins included to start immediately.



The Compact Reference of the APC Series Dedicated to Ableton Live


A direct heir of the APC lineage, the APC Mini MK2 condenses the essentials of Ableton "clip-launching" into a minimal format. This modernized version stands out with its high-visibility RGB pads, redesigned playing modes, and deep integration with Ableton Live's macros and devices.



For Live Performers, Beatmakers, and Mobile Setups


Whether you play in clubs, rehearsals, or home studios, the APC Mini MK2 targets creators who want to trigger clips, chain Scenes, program drums, and sculpt automations without leaving the control surface. Its compactness and USB power make it an ideal companion for laptops and mobile rigs.



Features Tailored for a Smooth Workflow



Next-Generation RGB Matrix


The backlit 8x8 grid faithfully reflects the state of your clips with an extended color palette. Trigger loops, samples, or melodies and instantly visualize your Session's structure to stay focused on the performance.



Immediate Control of Mixes and Devices


The 8 channel faders and master fader control volumes, pans, sends, and effects. In Device mode, they automatically map to the 8 macros of the selected device. The 8 dedicated buttons (Solo, Mute, Stop, Record Arm) speed up editing and automation.



Creative Modes: Drum, Note, and Scale


Drum Mode isolates a perfectly aligned 4x4 square on Drum Racks, while Note Mode and the smart scale display highlight notes of the chosen key to play sequences without mistakes and change scales in real time.



Complete Software Bundle


Delivered with Ableton Live Lite and a selection of AIR Music Technology instruments (Hybrid 3, Mini Grand, Velvet), the APC Mini MK2 provides everything needed to compose, record, and perform right out of the box.

Works automatically with Ableton Live 11. Solid product. I didn't pay attention but in drum mode the APC Mini MK2 doesn't register velocity well. The rest is perfect. Scene control works well. The workflow is much faster.
