A Key Piece in Akai Professional's Compact Range
The MIDIMIX is part of Akai Professional's line of portable controllers designed for mobile studios and live performance. It adopts the ergonomics of a small mixing console and translates it into a robust and ultra-compact format. The result: a simple, reliable, and quick-to-learn control surface, ideal for complementing a master keyboard or a laptop setup.

Used with the APC Mini for mainly video Vjing with Resolute Arena, just perfect, ideal! This product offers 3 rows of 8 knobs, exactly the same correspondence as the 3 Dashboard rows including 8 knobs. Full assignable at will, what more could you ask for, except that the Knobs do not come out enough to be gripped easily, but the fader buttons can be disassembled, so there may be a way to unscrew the knobs buttons to replace them with more comfortable ones (provided you find some with the same attachment pitch). In any case, in addition to another controller, it's a real killer, but see here a controller of modest quality and somewhat miniature, impossible to be precise with faders or knobs.

Not REAPER compatible!
I spent over two hours and tried several methods.. Nothing helps, the controller is detected by reaper but nothing is set automatically, you have to assign the commands one by one and some buttons have the same names (like Mute and the fader), so not 100% usable
The LEDs don't turn on either...
100% compatible and supported by Ableton Live!
No settings to do, nothing to activate/assign!
Disappointed with the overall service from Woodbrass: Poorly advised, I ordered this item after having the advisor who assured me that it would work.
Paper return form, with shipping at the expense of the customer...
The GLS carrier nickel but the package... The products are intact but I received this in a kind of trash bag...Automatically translated

Well received, clean case, only some LEDS have ignition faults in live performance on Ableton (controller defect, never seen on my old Midimix) or other problems... Need to restart the DAW at times... Quite disconcerting...
