64 RGB Pads for Ableton Clip Launching
The APC-MINI MK2 features a scrollable 8 x 8 RGB-backlit pad grid that gives clear visual feedback from your Ableton Live session. Launch loops, samples, instruments, vocals, scenes, and arrangements with confidence while keeping your focus on the music rather than the computer screen.
Hands-On Control with 9 Faders
Nine faders provide direct control over volume, pan, effect sends, device parameters, and automation. In Device Mode, the faders can map to Ableton Live?s selected device Macro Controls, making it easier to shape sounds, sweep filters, control reverbs, and perform mix changes in real time.
Drum, Notes and Smart Scale Modes
Drum Mode integrates with Ableton Drum Rack by isolating a 4 x 4 pad area for drum sample performance while allowing additional pad assignments. Notes Mode supports melodic performance, while Smart Scale Mode provides visual feedback across the 8 x 8 matrix so you can stay in key and create pitch-perfect musical ideas.
