Akai Professional's Fire MIDI Controller for FL Studio is a high-performance tool designed to enhance the music-creating experience. Designed in collaboration with Image-Line, and boasting plug-and-play integration, this dedicated hardware controller is custom-designed for compatibility with the FL Studio Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) platform. Intuitive, user-friendly layout and direct hardware control allow you to mute and solo channels, expand the grid matrix, select new channels, navigate patterns, and more.
Central to the Fire MIDI Controller’s layout is its 4x16 RGB pad matrix. Velocity-sensitive and ideal for drumming, these pads are specifically designed to interact with FL Studio’s step sequencer. Using the Note button, you can convert the RGB pads to a MIDI keyboard to access three octaves of note data or choose Performance Mode to launch MIDI clips and audio directly from the pads.
Personalize your workflow with 4 banks of 4 touch-capacitive knobs for viewing and adjusting parameters. These knobs give you precision control over channels, mixer, and user-assignable functions. Effortlessly tweak the volume, filter controls according to each channel, and automate recording.
Whether you’re in the studio or performing live, the Fire’s MPC-style 16-pad layout comes packed with the features and functions you need (including full integration with FPC and SliceX) to mix mouse-free. Its dedicated browser function lets you navigate, audition, and load audio samples, recall project files, and open plugins from its easy-to-read OLED display. Versatile, powerful, and easily scalable, up to four Fire devices can be interconnected to optimize control over FL Studio mixing production and workflow. Select Multi-Device Mode from the OLED display to instantly expand channels, enhanced sequencer accessibility, or scale the workflow from 4x16 to 8x32.
