Akai FIRE Dedicated Hardware Controller for FL Studio (inc. Fruity Fire Edition)

The new Akai Professional Fire represents the first of its kind, a dedicated hardware controller for the FL Studio Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) platform. Created in close partnership with Image-Line, Fire is a high-performance tool designed to enhance the workflow and music-creating experience for all FL Studio producers.

Featuring plug-and-play integration, within seconds you’ll be creating patterns and building tracks using Fire’s 4 x 16 velocity sensitive RGB pad matrix. Quickly input patterns on the Step Sequencer or switch up to Performance Mode for live playing and recording of notes and launching your patterns using the velocity-sensitive RGB pads for maximum expressive capability.

Instantly navigate the Channel Rack, Browser, Tool Bar and Playlist menus and quickly browse audio and project files without clicking a mouse. The graphical OLED display makes browsing and controlling the various files, menus and parameters within your FL Studio session a breeze; plus, the dedicated transport buttons give you full control of FL Studio’s standard playback, navigation and recording functions.

Bringing a tactile, mouse-free mixing solution to the FL Studio environment, Fire includes 4 banks of 4 touch-capacitive knobs for ultimate control over channel, mixer and user-assignable parameters. From tweaking volume and pan within FL Studio’s mixer to adjusting filter controls within the selected channel and recording automation, you’ll spend less time clicking and more time executing.

Enter the groundbreaking, high-powered workflow heard all over the charts with the FL Studio Fruity Fire Edition software, included with Fire. FL Studio is a complete software music production environment, the culmination of more than 20 years of innovative development. The software features everything you need in one package to compose, arrange, edit, mix and master professional quality music. With access to FL Studio’s piano roll editor and step sequencer, 500 tracks, VST & DXi instrument support, full automation functionality, plus 18+ virtual instruments and over a dozen built-in effects and processors, FL Studio Fruity Fire Edition provides the ultimate platform to spark that initial idea, ignite your creativity and complete your masterpiece –all in an ultra-intuitive, inspiring environment engineered to keep you tuned in to what’s important, your music.
