Even with your largest projects, the 64 RGB-backlit pads across the customizable 8×8 grid accurately reflect clips from your Ableton Live Session and are always in reach for the ultimate creative experience.

Simple Controls for Powerful Music Making

  • A More Powerful Ableton Experience
  • Enjoy serious hands-on control for a powerfully creative Ableton Live experience. APC mini mk2 features 9 faders to adjust volume, pan, insert effect sends and more for smooth, intuitive control of your sessions. Tweak reverbs, sweep filters, or write automation that will bring your music to life. Shape your sounds instantly using the assignable fader controls.

Precise Intuitive Control

  • Create your own distinct sounds with ease. With Device Mode, the APC mini mk2 faders are automatically mapped to the eight Macro Controls of Ableton Live’s selected device. Control multiple parameters with one fader to generate totally innovative sounds. Get more hands-on control with Soft Keys for easy access to Solo, Mute, Stop and Record arm functions.

Inspiring Features to Empower Your Creativity

  • Drum Mode for Ableton Drum Rack
  • Drum Mode provides seamless integration with Ableton’s Drum Rack, isolating a 4×4 quadrant of the APC mini mk2 to control Ableton, while still giving you the ability to assign the remaining pads. This allows for ultracustomized pad layouts and equally inventive and creative performances—not achievable with any other APC controller.

Real-Time Key-Scale and Key Changes

  • Real-time Smart Scale View mode provides the unprecedented visual feedback and instant changing of keys and scales in any compact Ableton controller. In this mode, the musical key currently selected is also visible across the pads to ensure you know what scale you’re in. The Notes Mode delivers a new performance workflow, allowing you to play pitch-perfect musical parts in Ableton without playing wrong notes.
