The system requirements are nothing worth talking about. Of course, the device is preprogrammed or premapped for Ableton Live so it’s ready to go out of the box. The controller also features eight channel faders and an equal number of device controls.
The pad’s feedback is highly responsive when it comes to color coding and showing the correct clip status. They also correspond to the clip colors from Ableton Live, leaving users with even less room for error. This makes the buttons more distinctive and easier to spot. I also noticed the multi-colored pads on the MKII. It’s essentially a Live Session View for the controller. With the 5x8 clip-launch grid, it’s easy to track up to eight tracks in Ableton Live. This makes it great to use on the road as well as in the studio. It has a compact, slim profile it’s light but also well-built and durable. This is the MKII iteration of the first dedicated midi controller developed for Ableton Live.
