Akai Professional worked in partnership with software developer Ableton to create the APC20, the second control surface created by Akai Professional for performance with Ableton Live software. Like the APC40, adding the APC20 transforms the user’s experience from one of constructing tracks with a keyboard and mouse to composing and performing with a seamless, fully integrated hardware/software musical system. There is much more beneath the hood at the APC20 home page. |

SynthStation is the first iPhone/iPod touch app from Akai Professional. This virtual production studio gives you three virtual-analog synths with three oscillators each and 50 drum kits with a sequencer. You can create exactly the tones you like and then use the filters, oscillators, and arpeggiator to shape, texture, and add rhythm to your sounds – just like a physical synthesizer. SynthStation has effects with easy-to-use controls and an on-screen keyboard. |

The newest member of the MPD family is the MPD26. It's not just a control surface; it contains a handful of the key MPC technologies that have made the MPC the de facto standard in professional beat production. MPD26's blend of intuitive MPC controls and technologies meshes with USB connectivity to bring the feel of classic beat making to the world of computer music production. See all the details about it here. |
