Not to be underestimated is the change in position of the USB Type-B port, now located at the back of the instrument (instead of the side) to give you the possibility to comfortably place other controllers or instruments in your setup alongside the \u003cstrong\u003eAPC Key 25 MK2\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.algameko.com\/it\/productsFT.php?str=apc\"\u003eAbleton Performance Controller (APC\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e) series from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.algameko.com\/it\/brands\/akai-professional\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAKAI Professional\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e was the first line of hardware specifically designed for perfect interaction with \u003cstrong\u003eAbleton Live\u003c\/strong\u003e software.
