Akai Professional APC40MKII USB MIDI Controller with RGB Clip-Launching Grid 9 Channel Faders and 8 Control Knobs

The Akai Professional APC40MKII is a USB MIDI controller designed for seamless integration with Ableton Live. Developed with feedback from users of the original APC40, this controller is built for hands-on performance, production, and workflow efficiency.

Clip Launch Grid with Visual Feedback

Features a 5x8 RGB pad grid for triggering clips directly in Ableton Live. The RGB lighting shows clip status—loaded, playing, or recording—and supports color coding for better visual organization.

In-Line Faders and Knobs

Includes 9 channel faders and 8 control knobs arranged in-line with each Ableton track. This layout allows quick access and smoother control when mixing or editing.

Device Control and Send Bus Access

8 dedicated device control knobs make adjusting plugin parameters direct and responsive. A Sends button gives fast switching through up to 8 send buses, supporting dynamic mixing without menu diving.

Assignable A/B Crossfader

The A/B crossfader can be reassigned instantly for real-time transitions and performance changes. No need for a mouse or software mapping.

Shift and Navigation Controls

Shift button and directional arrows let you move through clip banks and control scope, enabling quick navigation during live sets or studio work.

Plug-and-Play USB Connectivity

Connects directly via USB to Mac or PC with no need for external power or driver installation. Works immediately with Ableton Live 9.1.3 or higher.

Software and Sound Pack Bundle Included

Comes with Ableton Live Lite, Hybrid 3, SONiVOX Twist, Puremagnetik Effect Racks, and sample packs from Prime Loops and Toolroom Records. This package provides a full setup to start producing and performing right away.
