Description
This is the Ableton Live Clip Launching MIDI Controller. This ain’t just any MIDI – it’s your ticket to creative genius, be it looping, mixing, home jamming, or nailing that live performance. Link it up with Ableton Live and watch as it bosses around all your studio gear.
You’re not just getting a controller, though. It comes with Ableton Live Lite, a top-tier DAW for both PC & Mac. Think of it as your digital canvas where you paint your musical dreams, capture that spark of an idea, lay down records, or mix like a pro. And here’s the magic – the APC Mini MK2 and Ableton are like best buddies from version 11.2.7 onwards, all pre-mapped and ready to jam. The 8×8 RGB Pad Matrix? Oh boy, it’s a visual delight with 64 RGB pads! Launch clips, trigger loops, vocals, or melodic samples and bask in the vibrant color feedback. Plus, with 9 assignable faders (and a master one), you’re in the driving seat for real-time mix control in Ableton Live.
But wait, there’s more spice here. The Drum and Note Modes offer a match-made-in-heaven integration with Ableton’s Drum Rack. Want to drop sick beats or craft those silky melodies? It’s got you. And talk about hassle-free – the APC Mini MK2 gets its juice from USB and supports that sweet plug-and-play vibe. No more hunting for batteries or tangling with adapters! Also, you get a sweet bonus: a virtual instrument bundle that packs in some heavy hitters like Hybrid 3, Mini Grand, and Velvet.
