You can even adjust the lighting scheme to highlight scales and intervals – perfect for you musicians coming from a keyboard background.
The pads and tactile interface allow for the easy creation of beats while giving you the power to slice loops over your tracks. The visual display allows for easy tweaking of your tracks. Intuitive lighting takes the guesswork out of your work allowing you the freedom to perform without limits.
Most of these controllers come with access to Ableton Live, Intro, and other sampling packages. Look into which level you’re buying. All versions feature and Arrangement and Session view.
