General

Made in collaboration with Image-Line, the Akai fire is a powerful tool for anyone who works with FL Studio, not to mention the first controller of its kind. What's more, it's fully plug-and-play and cut out for getting your creative juices flowing. Here, you're looking at the controller-only version which, unlike the standard edition, doesn't come with a copy of FL Studio.

On Fire

The core of the Akai Fire looks just like the step sequencer in FL Studio itself. This performance section is designed to import patterns quickly or for controlling the mixing section, while in the command section, a variety of controls help you navigate FL Studio menus without the need for a computer mouse. Smoothly scroll through your channel rack, browser, tool bar or playlist in an entirely new way, use the transport buttons to control standard functions such as play and stop, and spend less time faffing with your mouse and more time creating music!

The Matrix Explained

The real magic happens within the 4 x 16 lay-out of velocity-sensitive RGB pads. While this matrix is similar to the patterns in FL Studio, it does a whole lot more. In fact, the pads can be used as a drum machine, or set up like a MIDI keyboard for playing and pulling notes out of a VST. If you're planning to go all out, it's even possible to hook up four separate Akai Professional Fire controllers to FL Studio and create a massive, 8 x 32 grid for the ultimate in beat weaving.

Kwalitatieve midi controller, topper! Altijd al een fan geweest van Akai hardware, deze stelt niet teleur.

Heb er een tweede gekocht voor 32 steps sequencing, te linken tot maximum 4 stuks (grid 32 steps / 8 rows).

Ik hoop dat er nog een script komt voor Bitwig Studio, maar in FL Studio is het alvast een musthave!

Goede aanvulling op FL studio. De pads reageren soepel, en allerlei software elementen uit FL studio zijn nu echt makkelijker en sneller via deze hardware te gebruiken. Ik denk zeker na over een uitbreiding (tot 4!) zodat alles nog overzichtelijker in te stellen is.

Tuesday 2 February 2016 By Julie Alexander

While everyone was focussing on the Akai MPC Touch during NAMM 2016, a Music Production Controller was also quietly released in the background. Known in some circles as the Black MK2, this MIDI controller features a few nice points of improvement on the MPC Studio. A 2.0 version of the MPC software was also released at the same time and comes included with the controller.
