Akai needs to add a boot sequence to this unit Anything to indicate it's alive after being connected. Everyone's thinking they're DOA. :D I did too until I pushed a button and it lit up. Nice iteration in the series. If you're on the fence, get one.

[@in.stereo]

Totally. Happens to me every time and I've had it for months lol

[@dragonslayer1269]

At the end🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@808bdubb]

For everybody this saying that it won't power up I promise you I had the same exact problem not even 5 minutes ago... I was mad but I have other things going on. I was about to quit on it and I hit a series of buttons to the right side of it, and it came right on! I'm going to figure out what I did!!!

[@jonnycoust3657]

The control surface doesn't appear...any way to download the apc mini MKII template? I'm user of APC 40 MKII and works well. But this only recognize MIDI I/O and can't work...
Help please!

[@bigbadjojo4863]

so has any one set this up to use with an MPC one or a force?

[@Cuacky_RK]

I have Ableton 11 (11.3.3) and my pc recognizes the device and ableton too, but the RBG does not work, why?

[@PAULYHOTDOGSS]

Nice🔥🔥🔥

[@shokosugi2346]

Does this play nice with MPC 2.x?

[@user-cs7yp7jy7j]

How do u get it to do this?

[@osoboezadanie]

can it be used with a midi keyboard being connected at the same time to Ableton? Thank you!

[@scs_one]

Definetely, I use apc mini with the NI midi keyboard, if it doesn't just check the control surface in the options

[@pierrefitch]

Oh nice would AKAI APC KEY 25 MK2 this work well for guitarist or better the Akai apc mini without keyboard 🎹 or can I combine both with a Akai MPC one ?

[@thaexception3406]

I didn't think I would like the 64 pads on my Force, but I love it now! If I was using Abelton - this would be automatic if I didn't have Force.

[@marcosrotllan]

I don't have a force but im buying one instead of that

[@juantran4261]

@@marcosrotllan yeah the force has all these weird bugs each time they update the firmware and its kind of huge as a ABLETON LIVE controller. this is also only $89 USD compared to the $1000...

[@marcosrotllan]

@@juantran4261 thats true... Having push2 and thinking about a force or just some midi faders

[@chrisknights5853]

My APC mini mk2 turned up d.o.a and wouldn't power up, hopefully it's just a lemon and not a bad batch, replacement is on the way .

Sorry to hear this. Please ensure you have downloaded and installed the included copy of Ableton Live Lite 11 or have provided your own compatible license, version 11.2.7 and up.

[@darsaxlegion8125]

I already have a Launchpad X… so until this can’t let you write the note like piano, I can’t see reason to buy it

[@VanaVanaV]

APC 40 MK3 and MIDI MIX MK2 please...

My man I literally just put a reply onto CZcams about that same situation... I got mine a couple of days after Christmas. I used it that day of course and couldn't get anything to happen with it. I was mad I put it away I do a lot of other things so I didn't have time to try to send it back or anything I figured I would go on CZcams Google things and figure it out. Then just now I plugged it in so I can either sell it or something if it didn't work I pressed a series of buttons and man it came right on no problem I'm going to do everything I can to figure it out again cuz it's on right now I'm going to unplug it and do it again!

[@Ro-prod]

I can’t find the minor mode tho

[@jaykiass]

Dope beat

[@ChasK9999]

I have the APC mini for Ableton, but how I do that you do

[@GIDAEONGULLY]

Can I use this with Koala Sampler?

[@east2w]

Can smartscale be done with the mk 1?

[@ZZKJ396]

Meh, more old fashioned hip-hop to suffer through...
