The LED backlighting of the 40 pads has been improved; it is not only brighter but also better able to reproduce the color assigned to Clips in Ableton Live software, as it supports hundreds of different colors. Furthermore, the 8 potentiometers offer a 360° rotation (compared to 270° in previous models) to allow for immediate interaction with software parameter values. Not to be overlooked is the change in position of the USB Type-B port, now located at the back of the instrument (instead of the side) to give you the possibility to comfortably place other controllers or instruments from your setup alongside the \u003cstrong\u003eAPC Key 25 MK2\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAbleton Performance Controller (APC)\u003c\/strong\u003e series by \u003cstrong\u003eAKAI Professional\u003c\/strong\u003e was the first line of hardware specifically designed for seamless interaction with \u003cstrong\u003eAbleton Live\u003c\/strong\u003e software.
