In a US online shop, a new AKAI Professional MIDI performance controller has leaked which was developed in partnership with Image Line!
Image Line made this summer a lot of music producer happy when they released FL Studio 20 for macOS after a long wait. Now they seem to take the next interesting step. A new AKAI Professional MIDI controller, developed in collaboration with Image Line, has leaked in an American online store. As you remember, AKAI developed the first PUSH controller for Ableton.
