APC Mini mk2 faders are automatically mapped to the eight Macro Controls of
Ableton Live’s selected device. Control multiple parameters with one fader to
generate totally innovative sounds. Get more hands-on control with Soft Keys

Drum Mode for Ableton Drum Rack
Drum Mode provides seamless integration with Ableton’s Drum Rack isolating a

any other APC controller.
