The Akai Professional Fire is one of the first dedicated hardware controllers for the FL Studio 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 4x16 matrix. Instantly navigate the Channel Rack, Browser, Tool Bar and Playlist menus without the click of a mouse.

The graphical OLED display makes for easy browsing and tactile control over the various files, menus and parameters within your FL Studio session. And the dedicated transport buttons give you full control of your music. When in Performance mode, Fire deftly blurs the lines between controller and instrument with its ability to play and record notes in time using the velocity-sensitive RGB pads. Up to four units can be connected to FL Studio at once, creating an 8x32 matrix for the ultimate Fire experience. Compatible with both PC and MAC to coincide with the release of FL 20, the Akai Professional Fire is built for the FL Studio user who wants to stop clicking and start playing FL Studio like a powerful studio and stage instrument.

All in the mix
Bringing a tactile, mouse-free mixing solution to the FL Studio environment, Fire includes four banks of four touch-capacitive knobs that enable the user to instantly see and adjust parameter values.
