Performance Controller for FL Studio
Introducing the Akai Professional Fire
The new Akai Professional Fire represents the first of its kind, a dedicated hardware controller 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.
Playing with Fire
Featuring plug-and-play integration, within seconds you’ll be creating patterns and building tracks using
Fire’s 4 x 16 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 8 x 32 matrix for the ultimate Fire experience.
