Frequently Asked Questions
The mini-keys have a shorter travel distance and a different feel; it's more about functionality than replicating a piano action.
Yes, the AIR instruments are VST/AU compatible and should work with most major DAWs, but some integration might require additional setup.
The software licenses are tied to your Akai Professional account and are transferable to other Akai products, but check the specific terms on Akai's website.
