Differences between AKAI APCmini and APCmini MK2
Play loops, samples, sample and record in real-time, play virtual instruments in Ableton Live (from version 11.2.7 onwards) without having to use a mouse. Compared to the previous version, the APC mini MK2 offers three pad configuration modes that allow you to play the virtual instrument selected in the software. An efficient controller, it automatically adapts in Control Surface mode with the Ableton Live project thanks to new LEDs capable of visually representing hundreds of different colours to better match those assigned to the Clips. No longer just the three colours available in the previous model.
The Ableton Performance Controller (APC) series from AKAI Professional was the first line of hardware designed specifically for perfect interaction with Ableton Live software. Controllers belonging to this series offer an immediate "Control Surface" configuration that allows the pad matrix to dynamically adapt to the Clips in your musical project's Session view. Other physical controls, such as faders, are also automatically reassigned to what you have selected in the project or hardware: from controlling devices, i.e., audio effects loaded as inserts on tracks or virtual instrument parameters, to controlling mixer volumes, from pan management to sends to effects.

NB: The software applications are included free of charge for promotional purposes and may vary over time without notice. Algam EKO is responsible only for the hardware instrument and cannot provide technical or commercial assistance for the software provided free of charge or for third-party software used with the product. For software support, consult the manual or online help of the software you are using.
Important: The use of authorization codes, i.e., the download and activation of the software provided free of charge, voids the right of withdrawal.
NB: Akai Professional APCmini Mk2 is a controller that generates and sends MIDI messages via the USB port useful for controlling software compatible with the universal MIDI standard. It does not have internal sounds and functions exclusively by sending control messages that will be translated by your software or musical hardware into sound that will then exit through your external audio interface or integrated sound card. The instrument therefore does not have an audio output.
