Akai Pro launch hands-on control with the APC64

Akai Pro APC64

The new Akai Pro APC64 also doubles as a step-sequencer, offering 32-step 8-track options, allowing you to control your favourite synths without touching your DAW.

Hands-on, tactile control is a game-changer in music. While the digital realm offers us a newfound world of opportunities, doing away with the limitations of analogue. What the Akai Pro APC64 offers to bring back is the ability to modulate, adjust pitch, and much more, thanks to 64 RGB velocity-sensitive pads, 8 fully assignable Touch Strips, while also acting as a standalone 32-step 8-track Step Sequencer.

The APC64 integrates with Ableton Live, allowing you to adjust Auto Filter, Delay, Reverb, Impulse and Simpler, while also offering visual feedback via a smart colour LED screen and dedicated transport controls. There’s also USB connectivity available for even more control.

The new Akai Pro APC64 also doubles as a step-sequencer, offering 32-step 8-track options, allowing you to control your favourite synths without touching your DAW. There’s also 8 CV/Gate outputs for connection to modular synths, and three ⅛” MIDI connections.

Finally, the Akai Pro APC64 integrates seamlessly with either Ableton’s Drum Rack or Simpler Control, allowing you to compose, arrange and perform beats with the push and pull of a real musician rather than a mouse clicking notes onto a piano roll.
