Product Information
From Controller to Instrument
The Akai Fire is the first dedicated FL Studio controller. The Akai Fire finally brings users a controller that is truly plug and play. Once plugged in, the four banks of 16 matrix RGB buttons can be used to create freely. Simply select your mode preference from one of four choices and let your creativity flow at the touch of a button. Play your patterns and beats into the Fire using the step sequencer, then flip over into Note mode and start to layer your new beat with a melody to match.
Drop into drum mode and youll be greeted with the classic MPC 16 pad drum machine layout. This mode maps perfectly to the FPC plugin within FL Studio, where youre able to assign any samples or loops to these pads. Whether youre using it for finger drumming, or layering samples to build loops and beats, combined with the Performance mode, the Fire is the perfect platform for a jam session. Express yourself and have fun doing it, the Fire allows you to bring the heat to beat.
Instant Navigation
Pull your eyes away from the screen. The Fires navigation allows for easy access to your controls. Channel rack, pattern selects, grid positioning, and browser select allow you to navigate through familiar FL Studio menus quickly. The bright and clear OLED screen is easy to see in any situation. With the bright RGB pads and OLED screen in sight, with the Fire, youre never lost.
In-Depth Controls
The four touch-capacitive knobs on the top of the Fire allow access to basic mixing tools quickly. From the basic track/master volumes and panning, to high and low cut filters and even resonance, they are all accessible on the top panel of the Fire. These are great for spontaneous mixing and live performance but can also be programmed to your needs. With an additional two user banks, you can assign up to eight different parameters to these knobs per patch. These can be assigned to effect parameters, EQ sweeps, and even time stretching.
Become an independent producer with Fire. Transport controls (play, stop, and record) and mode selection buttons are dual purpose when used with the alt button. This gives access to a host of additional features, such as accents, tap tempo, metronome, loop record and a host more youd normally have to program on a screen.
FL Studio Fruity Fire Edition Software IncludedFree with the Fire comes FL Studio Fruity Fire edition software. Designed with Image-Line directly, this edition of FL Studios enables anyone to create music and produce immediately in conjunction with the Fire controller.
