In addition to the more modern aesthetics, this “ MK2 ” version of the AKAI APC Key 25 stands out from the previous model for the presence of an optimized, next-generation synth action keyboard, with mechanics similar to those of larger MIDI keyboards. The LED backlighting of the 40 pads has been improved, which - in addition to being brighter - will be able to better reproduce the color assigned to the Clips in the Ableton Live software, as it supports hundreds of different colors. In addition, the 8 potentiometers offer a 360° excursion (compared to the 270° of previous models) to allow immediate interaction with the software parameter values. Not to be underestimated is the change in position of the USB type B port, now positioned on the back of the instrument (instead of on the side) in order to give you the possibility of conveniently placing the APC Key 25 MK2 alongside other controllers or instruments in your setup.
The Ableton Performance Controller (APC ) series from AKAI Professional was the first line of hardware designed specifically for seamless interaction with the Ableton Live software. The controllers belonging to this series offer an immediate “ Control Surface ” configuration that allows the pad matrix to dynamically adapt to the Clips in the Session window of your musical project. Even the other physical controls, such as the rotary potentiometers (knobs), are automatically reassigned to what you have selected in the project or in the hardware: from the control of the devices, that is, the audio effects loaded as inserts on the tracks or the parameters of the virtual instruments, to the control of the volumes in the mixer, from the management of the pan to the sends to the effects (send).
The APC Key 25 Mk2 is a convenient, compact and versatile control surface that can be used both in the recording studio and live to control the Ableton Live DAW software while taking up minimal space on your desk or console. The AKAI APC Key 25 Mk2 is a class compliant USB/MIDI device that does not require driver installation to function and is automatically recognized by all operating systems. It connects to your PC or Mac computer, which will provide power directly.
Precise and immediate is the management of the Clips in the Session window of Ableton Live through the 40 backlit pads of the AKAI PRO APC Key 25 Mk2 . Thanks to 4 dedicated buttons you can move comfortably horizontally or vertically in your project to select the tracks and the relative Clips to manage. From playback to recording, from single Clips to entire Scenes: play, trigger and play audio samples, loops and MIDI clips.
Unleash your creativity. Play bass lines, synth lead melodies, pluck or acoustic and/or electric piano parts thanks to the new generation keyboard that will respond better to your fingers, your melodic phrases and chords. In addition to the device instruments present in Ableton Live, you can play your favorite VST or AU virtual instruments, including the 3 virtual instruments developed by Air Music Tech included free*: Hybrid 3, Mini Grand and Velvet. With the dedicated octave transposition buttons (up and down) you can cover up to 10 octaves of extension with the APC Key 25 Mk2 keyboard, while with the Sustain button you can simulate the typical pedal control directly from the instrument dashboard.
4 buttons let you select what to control from the 8 knobs: volume, pan, send or the parameters of the selected device. Control filters, reverbs, write and record automations to give your live performances and music productions that extra touch. In Device mode, the physical rotary controls are automatically assigned to the macro mapping of the effect or instrument selected in Ableton Live. Via the various buttons you can also manage essential transport functions such as Start, Stop, Record, as well as Solo, Mute and the armature of the tracks.

NB : Akai Professional APC Key 25 Mk2 is a controller that generates and sends MIDI messages through the USB port useful for controlling software compatible with the universal MIDI standard. It does not have internal sounds and works exclusively by sending control messages that will be translated by your software or musical hardware into sound, which will then come out of your external audio interface or integrated sound card. The instrument therefore does not have an audio output.
