Akai Professional APC Key 25 | Compact USB 25-Key Midi Keyboard Controller for Ableton Live with VIP 3.0 and Software Package Included

I bought through amazon and I am using it. Working fine till 2-7-2025

Absolutely fantastic product! I am using it with Resolume Arena and my work has become so much easier. Highly recommend for mixing visuals live and triggering effects faster. Perfect and a must have tool for any visual jockey!

A great ableton controller. For clip launching, live looping and live electronic improvisations, this controller is going to help you a lot. On top of 64 pads for clip launching, you get mixer controls, sends, returns so this is a sweet little controller which offers so much under 8k. If you are a vj, you can also use this as a vj controller for any VJ application.

fairly easy to use with ableton live. no need to manually link any controls, it worked with live out of the box, without need for any drivers also. thats great ! i also did not need to refer to the manual too much for understanding some of the additional functions. just 3 reads got me up & running. All the track trigger buttons are decent quality , although they look slightly mis-shaped. faders are ok too. they packed enough number of features in this unit. The only strange missing thing is that the unit does not have transport controls ! u will still need to click on the master play button or stop button by looking at the screen OR use the spacebar on your computer keyboard. why was this left out ? tap tempo is also missing here. if these 2 had been included, then u could truly use live without the computer screen & without touching a mouse.

Very Useful you can also map the keys according to your requirements. But the lights will lit up only when you will use it for music mixing and other workings

Quick installation...Easy to use if u know Ableton live...backlit pads are soft.. response is great..build quality is tough and faders also work smooth.. USB cable is also long enough and supports USB 3.0 as well. Go for it if u have a budget of 10k..

one to one compatible to Ableton Live. Very much helpful for very fast work flow.. If you have launchkey / launchpad it is the perfect pair and highly recommended.

.It has designed for ableton live only no led indicators for other daw

Only complaint I have is the keys feel a little unresponsive at times and are a touch on the firm side.

Great piece of equipment, high functionality. I just use it as rhythm machine driver and vst synth controller occasionally and works perfect. Comparability with ableton is perfect and makes working much easier. Keyboard is recognized by cubase instantly, should be possible to map other buttons but I didn't try. Very light, very easy to carry. Smal and very easy to set up in a space restricted environment.

wow is this a great deal on a quality controller, and you get the Ableton software included. IT is the lite version, but it is feature packed and tutorial is great. Works flawlessly with the Akai controller. Super fast shipping to Canada to. will buy more from this seller!

Very good! Works fine with Ableton live.
