MIDI Controller Integration

AKAI APC Key 25 Integration

Using the controller

The AKAI APC Key 25 automatically maps into Ableton so this makes things much easier. I will have full control on clip recording, volume, pan and device parameter manipulation via the controller. i have found that the APC Key 25 is a perfect piece of kit for this kind of performance and as with everything, requires practice to get acquainted with all of the functions.

I'm also able to record "tight" well organised clips.

Via the AKAI APC Key 25, I am able to control the following functionality of each clip

• Volume
• Pan
• Record Arm
• Solo
• Stop
• Mute
• Select
• Send
• Octave Adjust (+ or -)
• Device - This allows me to control the parameters of the selected device (effect) associated to the clip that I am working on. The 8 control knobs allow manipulation of 8 associated parameters. One thing that is slightly confusing however, is that the sequence of the control knobs does not follow the sequence of the parameters of the selected device.
