Roland PDS-10 (Stand for SPD Controllers)

Bringing full Ableton Live control to a pint-sized performance powerhouse, Production pros are singing the praises of Akai’s APC Mini Mk2. Like its predecessor, an 8-inch x 8-inch matrix occupies most of the control surface, with each of its 64 RGB-backlit buttons vividly representing your active on-screen session. Nine multi-function sliders adorn the bottom quadrant, fully assignable for pan, mix, FX functions, and more. Scene launch buttons are found along the right-hand side, while navigation and utility functions can be managed with the lower row. Flexible playback modes are accompanied by the included Ableton Live Lite software, as well as several plug-ins from renowned AIR Music Technology.
