Comprehensive hands-on control for FL Studio

The first dedicated controller made for FL Studio software, the Akai Professional Fire grid controller offers comprehensive control for production and performance. Akai Professional worked closely with Image Line — creators of FL Studio — to enhance their workflow and streamline their music creation sessions. Featuring a 4 x 16 matrix, the Fire makes it easy to navigate the Channel Rack, Browser, Tool Bar and Playlist menus, letting you step away from the mouse and enjoy hands-on control. And with the ability to connect up to four Akai Professional Fire grid controllers to FL Studio, you can even create a physical 8 x 32 matrix right on your desktop or in your live rig.

The first dedicated controller for FL Studio

While FL Studio software works with virtually any control surface, there has never been a streamlined, dedicated control solution for it—until the Akai Professional Fire grid controller. Its familiar interface lets you do a lot without touching a mouse, including navigating the Channel Rack and other menus, controlling the transport section, creating sequences, and even playing instruments in realtime.

Ready to plug and play, with FL Studio

If you've programmed your custom control surfaces for FL Studio, you're in for a treat. Compatible with both PC and Mac versions, Akai Professional Fire is ready to rock FL Studio right out of the box.
