AKAI MIDImix Compact USB MIDI Mixer Controller – Portable DAW Control Surface for Music Production

Designed for producers and musicians who demand seamless control over their digital audio workstations, the AKAI MIDImix Compact MIDI Mixer Controller delivers professional mixing capabilities in a portable, USB-powered format. Whether performing live or creating in the studio, this compact mixer allows complete, on-the-fly control of your DAW’s faders, knobs, and parameters—all at the push of a single button. With direct integration and 1-to-1 mapping with Ableton Live (Lite version included), this controller is engineered for real-time creative flexibility and efficient workflow management.

MIDImix has been developed to eliminate the time-consuming steps between performance and post-production.

Featuring eight line faders, a master fader, and 24 control knobs laid out in a familiar mixer configuration, users gain hands-on access to essential mixing tools. This level of portability and functionality, combined with legendary Akai Professional durability, makes the MIDImix the ultimate mobile solution for controlling DAW parameters on the go.R
