## Description

From the manufacturer The APC Legacy In 2009, Akai Professional collaborated with the creators of Ableton Live, a powerful music performance and production software environment, and introduced the original Ableton Performance Controller—APC40. The instrument raised the standards of controller design, revolutionized hardware and software integration, and proved to be an essential performance tool for Ableton Live users everywhere. Now, after incorporating five years of user feedback into their development, Akai Professional builds upon this original partnership by introducing three new APCs—APC40 mkII, APC Key 25, and APC mini. Big Surprises Come In Small Packages Dexterous, versatile, and powerful, the only thing “mini” about this Ableton controller is the size. APC mini is the most portable all-in-one Ableton controller solution with Akai Pro build quality. Engineered specifically for the mobile musician and the desktop producer, APC mini concentrates the essential features of the APC40 mkII, Akai Pro’s flagship Ableton controller, into a compact design that fits in your backpack. The result is a dynamic instrument that empowers you to make music with Ableton Live—anywhere.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy!
*by A***R on 22 December 2017*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this product
*by H***R on 19 June 2019*

Really goid product works with abelton live. Love this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The keys are a let-down....otherwise great.
*by J***N on 14 October 2015*

A great gadget for anyone wanting a low priced Ableton Live/MIDI controller. Plug and play no problem with Windows 8. Does everything the reviews claim. Compared to my Oxygen8 v2 though (which no longer works with Windows 8 - thanks Microsoft!) it feels a bit like a toy; everything is small. The dials are short without any textured grip and are a smidgen tight (in comparison). The 25 keys are noticeably smaller if you are used to full sized, the white ones measuring 8 cm by almost 2cm. When pressed, the resistance gives them a springy feel, demanding a little pressure to hold them to their shallow base. If this is your first controller you'll love it. For experienced controller types you'd be buying it because of its Live mapping, compact form and portability.
