Powerful music production with simple operation

You can also adjust reverb, sweep filters, and create automation to play a more lively sound.

■Intuitive control

In device mode, the faders of the APC Mini MK2 are automatically mapped to eight macro controls of the device selected in Ableton Live. You can also create more innovative sounds by controlling multiple parameters with a single fader. In addition, dedicated buttons for easy access to solo, mute, stop, and REC arm functions ensure a smooth and creative workflow.

Functions that bring out creative ideas

Drum mode seamlessly syncs with Ableton drum tracks, isolating the 4x4 pads of the APC Mini MK2 for Ableton control. The remaining pads are assignable, allowing for customized pad layouts and original, creative performances that are not possible with other APC controllers.

■Key scale and key change in real time
Smart scale mode allows you to display and change the key and scale in real time.
