Two front runners of digital production, Akai and Abelton have colabed to bring the first dedicated midi controller for Ableton Live, the unmatched production software for live performance. Designed by the same engineering team responsible for Akai’s iconic MPCs, the APC40 features a slew of fancy lit buttons (109) nobs (16) and faders (9) that synch with Live’s interface to bring real-time mixing and an innovative easy compact surface for bedroom production. In a nice move, the controller is set up to practically mirror Abletons interface… and its only 400 shells. Step your game up.
