This is very handy for FL users! It’s nice to get the hands off of the keyboard and mouse at times and with practice it becomes very useful. I hope that more FL studio dedicated items will be developed.
Excelente mquina muy bien pensada. Quizs lo nico que podra criticarle, es que no funciona “stand alone”. Siempre depende del FL Studio.
Definitely worth buying. So many features that I haven’t even tried yet, search YouTube for tutorials

The actual controller is great, it’s plastic but heavier than I thought it would be. All the buttons are good quality and the pads are responsive. Amazon did send me the “controller only” bundle and I paid for the software included one, after a call to customer support I was told I could send it back for a full refund, as I can buy the software anyway I asked if I could be just refunded the difference which they agreed to. Bit of a hassle but it’s all sorted and I’m happy with it.

Great for beginners like me. It helps if you use the channel rack and step sequencer. Great for learning how to use FL Studio

I bought this for my son this past Christmas. He says it’s given him just the type of interaction he needs with his FL Studios, and that when he’s too lazy to take it out of the case we also bought for him and opens the software, it feels like there’s a big piece missing in the puzzle.

Best keyboard ever. My son loves it especially he plays Roblox a lot using it. Nighttime friendly because of the lights.
The hardware itself is good up to a point, but you can tell why it costs under 100.
In fact, I wouldn’t pay more than 100 for this to be honest.
The pads are a kind of velocity sensitive, but nowhere near the sensitivity of a Launchpad X’s pads.
Probably why there’s a big price gap between the two.
If you expect to do nuanced finger drumming on these you will be disappointed.
Light to medium taps end up around 30-50 percent velocity, and hard / firm taps around 100 percent.
I’d suggest setting the velocity to a fixed value & just tweak it manually afterwards.
Transport buttons are nice to have but are super-clicky, and feel cheap.
As do all the other buttons.
The knobs do their job fine though.
All in all, if Akai did a v2 with better quality buttons & more responsive pads then I’d gladly pay over 100 for it,
as its enjoyable to use as long as you know the limitations.

Arriv rapidement, petite rayure sur l’cran. Quand ont s’en ser.

No pensaba que se adaptara tan bien a FL Studio aunque hay cosas del programa que no se pueden hacer sin usar el ratn. Los primeros pasos para componer, desde luego, se facilitan mucho.
Great product that pairs excellent with FL Studio great to use for beat making.
Hyper pratique si vous faites du son avec d’autre matriel hardware. Afin de composer en live sans utiliser trop le pc !
Beau produit !
Despite the pads have SOME velocity, the range is limited to two steps; 100% and 80%. Those are the only volumes the pads can register at least to my knowledge.
ALSO, if you are to use this, ALWAYS USE FL STUDIO ASIO in order for everything to run smoothly.
My final verdict is 8/10
Bonne qualit facile a utiliser.
Stupendo! Si collega facilmente con fl20. Io ho mc. Molto semplice ed intuitivo. In poche parole si pu toccare con mano la classica interfaccia fl.
Colori e tasti ipnotici, piacevoli da guardare e da premere. Io ho imparato ad usarlo in una sera. Non offre nulla di diverso da quello che si pu fare con il mouse, ma semplicemente divertente!

Very awesome not really for beginners but there are a ton of how to do videos on YouTube.
Hella worth the money . Very satisfied. Very strong. I will definitely order again. I love it alot. I recommend to everyone.
Muy bueno, me gust mucho mas de lo que cre, muy til, funcional y fcil de usar, me llego en muy buenas condiciones y no me a fallado en nada, 100% recomendado a los que usan FL Studio

Couldn’t ask for much more to streamline the FL workflow short of a complete standalone. While i wouldn’t call it a necessity if you have 100$ laying around its def worth it if you use the sequencer at all.
Ich habe das Produkt mit dem Software Paket gekauft. Der Controller war schnell angeschlossen und ber plug and play installiert. Fr die Software muss man sich bei image line registrieren und die Software downloaden. Das Installieren ging intuitiv und problemlos. Auch das Registrieren ging mit ein paar Klicks fast automatisch. Die Farben auf dem Controller sind gut sichtbar und wirken angenehm cremig. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es fr fehlende templates fr Anfnger und dafr, dass man den Controller alle 30 Tage in Verbindung mit fl fire nutzen muss, da die Software sonst nicht mehr funktioniert. Ergo braucht man mindestens 1x im Monat eine Internet Verbindung, obwohl man die Software schon registriert hat.

I love it easy to learn on and use for beat production I use it with my FL Studio have no issues whatsoever.
I love using the Fire and cannot fault it. The only part of it that Ivdon’t use much is the built in piano keyboard, but I have a 7 octave keyboard for that.

HOWEVER: I am a loooong time FL user — ever since it was called Fruity Loops. I am not sure if this makes a difference, but it might. Also, I started out in music on late ’80s / early ’90s equipment, so I got used to little displays and button-combos early on. Just be patient, though – it’s WAY more intuitive and fun than that stuff.

If you use FL Studio, this is really the controller to buy. My favorite function is that you can set the scale and key for the pads.
Excelente producto, me ha ayudado a agilizar varios procesos en mi flujo de trabajo. Les recomiendo leer los folletos incluidos ya que tiene muchsimas funciones que quiz a simple vista no se puedan ver.

Title says it all, perfect for novice users and it comes with FL studio Fire Edition but I recommend updating to the producer edition as the features in Fire Edition are limited.
Das Gesamtbild ist sehr gut. Super geliefert worden und in gutem Zustand allerdings nicht so gut fr Anfnger meiner meinung nach. Aber sonst TOP

I have been asking for a 16-step sequencer controller for literally a decade and a half. This is it. Out of the box, it only works with FL Studio; if you use FL Studio, this is great. It is also just a MIDI controller; you have to get a little bit fancy, but you can definitely get it working with other DAWs, though this is not for the faint of heart.
bought this for my 13yr old son who loves his music and with fl studios added in the price its a bargain..he’s been using it a few weeks now and he’s already knocking up some nice dnb tracks…. the pads will made and has a nice feel and look to it when it’s all lit up

I got this for my partner and he loves it!

If you already have FL Studio (not the mobile version) this should be plug and play, if you are getting the version that includes FL Studio Fire Edition then you may have to do a bit a messing around to get everything registered and up and running (20 mins tops). Once plugged in it is a dream, ties in really well with FL Studio and so many things can be done from the Fire without breaking your flow to reach for mouse/keyboard. Initially disappointed that it doesn’t work with FL Studio mobile (which was what I was used to) but the Desktop app is probably a lot more powerful and hasn’t taken long to get used to. Sexy piece of kit, I love it.

The device is everything with fire plug and play Make Music.
Works great with FL Studio and looks amazing! Works seamlessly with FL and is easy to setup and use
Before you can download the software you have to register your product these days, it does not like the serial number I have, which is starting to sound like someone else already has this device registered on their account. That would explain the 2 broken seals on the box.
Support ticket response with Akai is between 24 and 72 hours before I get a reply regarding the serial number issue, fingers crossed.
(UPDATE)
After updating to the latest FL studio version, it worked perfectly. Still miffed about the factory Seal being broken on the Product Box, and still no response from Akai regarding not being able to register the product. I still think I have a returned item that is registered to someone else. However it seems to be working fully.

Plugged it in and started working right away with the latest version of Image Line FL Studio.
The Fire is causing me to go back and focus on the core FL Studio channel programming after many years of tweaking FL Studio to do whatever I want.
The physical channel sequencing, channel and mixer knob twisting, pattern selector, transport control panel, and other features bring me back to the heart of how Image Line originally designed FL Studio.

Se hai Fruity Loops non si pu mancare ad associarlo con il suo controller, da l’idea di essere pi professionali e risulta pi comodo.
This Is It The Must Have Piece For The Studio F-ING Awesome
Just what i needed makes fl flow better when using. Mimics controls well. No velocity is s bummer but spart from that if you have the extra money get it. Delivered quick and perfectly. 4 stars no velocity.

Me a gustado el producto lo que necesito es una factura de el producto
Esta hecho a la medida para FL Studio, ninguno otro controlador te da el potencial nativo para este software
Seamless integration with FL studio. Works fine on Mac version of FL. Happy with the product, although overall it didn’t speed up my workflow that much:- I use more for navigation.

Love the product, but the FL Studio code didn’t work.
Un controller veramente molto ben fatto da parte di Akai a patto per di apprezzarne le caratteristiche…
Io non usavo FL Studio da molti anni (ho una licenza Producer) ed ero molto attratto dalla novit di Akai.
Purtroppo ho dovuto effettuare il reso non tanto per la qualit del prodotto in s quanto perch con la nuova versione di FL Studio (la 20) non mi trovo assolutamente bene: preferisco di gran lunga usare Ableton Live (e relativi controller…). Comunque per chi di voi utilizza FL Studio un acquisto sicuramente da consigliare in modo particolare per chi lo utilizza in modalit step sequencer che, con questo controller, risulta davvero molto intuitivo e divertente.
Meno efficiente per suonare parti di batteria o singole note, i pad sono davvero troppo piccoli e un p duri al tocco.

Awesome workflow with this controller brings out the creative side with hands on with the music – quality of build is very good and just works within fl studio like a dream just plug and create your sounds

Compatibile da Fl20 in su.
La versione fire del software che ti danno omaggio per tutta bloccata, per poter utilizzarla bisogna crk successivamente e tutto funziona nella norma. Ahaha
skills req. ease of use related to existing nav. I bought by research and my way of learning. I like a physical connection with my music. prod as well as screen.price very inexspensive for the quality of build. build strong.recommend older benniner/ iniates would suit well.image-line good developer plenty of shelf life.

Honestly the most awesome piece of tech I’ve got on my desk. I got to see this as it was being released, watching as they talked about it. I’ve been playing with this for a while and it’s good fun. No problems with it at all.
My son loves this item. He is making he’s own music. There’s alot of different settings & sounds. For beginners to advanced. If you are interested in music, which he is & doing @ college, a great item to have.

I have used FL studio for years and I am having a lot of fun using this.
Fast and easy hookup. Amazing controller for such a low cost, and comes with FL20 fruity edition with lifetime updates.
This is the best thing that has happened to FL Studio. You can use this controller without touching the keyboard ever.
Bell’oggetto, stupendo da vedere, fatto bene. Per quanto riguarda il controller, secondo me ancora un po acerbo nell’interfacciarsi con Fl Studio… ma opinione mia.
Tralasciando la pecca vi dico:
Integrazione con FL oltre le aspettative, prezzo molto contenuto considerando le funzionalit e poi lo step sequencer di FL fra le mani credo che sia il sogno realizzato per tutti gli utilizzatori di Fl studio; modalit note e drum per registrazioni o live e performance mode per il lancio di loop, samples e automation in real time
