Akai Professional MAX25 25-Key MIDI Controller

Compact USB/MIDI/CV keyboard controller with MPC pads.




MAX25 places revolutionary control at your
fingertips with the ability to command anything, from vintage analog
synths via its CV/Gate outputs to modern MIDI and USB MIDI devices. With
an intuitive layout and included Ableton Live Lite, AkaiConnect, and
Ignite music creation software, MAX25 offers instant, powerful creative
capabilities. From its 25 semi-weighted keys and 8 real MPC pads, to its
groundbreaking LED touch faders and built-in 16-note step sequencer,
MAX25 combines cutting-edge Akai Pro technology with classic capability
to give you an unprecedented music-making experience.

Cutting-edge LED Touch Faders
MAX25
is one of the most unique controllers ever engineered. Right away
you'll notice one of its most distinguishing features: four banks of
four backlit LED touch faders, allowing you to assign up to 16 control
parameters. You can use MAX25's LED touch faders just like analog faders
by simply dragging your finger along their touch strips, or you can
perform instant leaps in any MIDI value from zero to maxed out and
everything in between—an unprecedented, unmatched controller capability.

Built-in Step Sequencer
Akai
Professional’s MAX25 and MAX49 are the only keyboard controllers
available that include a built-in step sequencer. MAX25’s touch faders
combine with the built-in step sequencer to offer even more innovative
performance capabilities. Control four banks of four steps each,
creating patterns up to 16 steps. The step sequencer can be assigned to
MIDI parameters or the CV/Gate outputs, and the touch faders give you
real-time editing control over modulation, filters, key changes, and
effects. Create instant arpeggios by swiping your finger horizontally
across the faders, and easily activate and deactivate steps using the
button beneath each fader.

Classic Capability
When
you're ready to get down to business, MAX25 delivers essential
controller features with excellence. 25 semi-weighted keys with
aftertouch are laid out before you, providing professional feel, perfect
response and full musical expression. Large, centrally positioned
transport controls give you straightforward track navigation, and
rubberized pitch and modulation wheels provide for instant creative
flourishes. MAX25's expanded arpeggiator includes a Latch button as well
as eight different time divisions to create sweeping and endlessly
varied melodic cascades.

CV & Gate Outputs
MAX25
comes ready to command any controller hardware or software from any
era: USB MIDI, traditional 5-pin DIN MIDI, and Control Voltage and Gate
outputs are onboard, allowing you to control everything from today's
most advanced music software, to analog modular synths from as far back
as the 1960s. Mackie Control and HUI protocols are also built in to give
you instant compatibility with many industry standard DAWs.

Iconic MPC Pads
MAX25
is also equipped with four banks of 8 backlit MPC pads, giving you a
total of 32 assignable pads, allowing you to integrate legendary Akai
Pro production capability into live performances and recording sessions
alike. These backlit velocity-sensitive pads come with classic MPC
Swing, Note Repeat, Full Level and navigation controls to give you all
the tools you need to create music at your highest level.

Ignite Included
Ignite
music creation software from AIR works seamlessly with MAX25, giving
you the fastest way to capture ideas and make music. It’s a refreshingly
different approach, a simple and seamless creat­ive partner that
empowers your ideas and brings them to life. Say goodbye to the rigid
and complicated methods of the past. Say hello to a fresh new way to
create.
Ignite includes over 275 instruments, many of which are taken
from our renowned instrument collections - including Strike, Structure,
and Velvet. All sounds have been optimized to load quickly, and the
editing controls are automatically mapped to your MAX25. These
extraordinary sounds include keyboards, drums, percussion, basses,
guitars, synths, strings, brass, and woodwinds.

Ableton Inside
MAX25
also comes with Ableton Live Lite Akai Pro Edition software, one of the
most popular and powerful performance and production programs
worldwide. Ableton Live Lite enables musicians to spontaneously compose,
record, remix, improvise and edit musical ideas in a seamless
audio/MIDI environment.

Control to the Max
MAX25
also comes with AkaiConnect automatic-mapping software, so you'll be up
and running in your favorite DAW and VSTs in seconds. AkaiConnect has
been designed to eliminate the guesswork and give you more time creating
and less time setting up controls. Instantly assign MAX25's MPC pads,
touch faders and buttons to your favorite music software plug-ins by
simply clicking on the software element you want to control, then
touching the knob, pad, fader or button on MAX25.
