At first glance, this just looks like and extension of the sequencer in FL Studio, and while it does handle that function amazingly, there are so many more things it does. Notably, you can turn it into a 3+ octave keyboard that can be customized to any scale you want. The different key arrangement takes some time to get used to, but actually end up becoming intuitive and you can progress within chords effortlessly. I do wish the buttons were a little more tactile, but for this price they do they job very well.
I do still find myself switching between mouse, keyboard, and the fire, but the fire has taken over quite a few main commands, especially velocity, panning, and tuning of any note. That's probably the strong suit of the Fire, the seamless link with the sequencer commands, and the weighted feel of the knobs as you change settings. Even though there's only 4 knobs, they can do 16 different things with only a couple clicks, 8 of those fully customizable.
If you don't already have a MIDI controller/keyboard for your FL Studio setup, don't hesitate to get this - it will open up your production immensely. If you do already have MIDI controllers and synths, this is still something to consider if you are well-versed in FL Studio. The way it integrates the program into a tactile controller will augment everything you do and can significantly speed up your workflow - letting you get farther in your work faster.

It's a step editor with track controls, keys with chord lock ins, drum pad, slicex-er?, and a 4x16 performance pad that can shift around the playlist. The pads also light up in accordance with what's in FLS, depending on which setting you're on. More stuff in there, still learning. It seems to be the only controller that can change FLS tempo with a tap. Cool trick. Four banks for the four digital knobs including two user banks. There's a cheat sheet that has tips and tricks that are very handy. "In The Mix" is a great Youtube channel with a ton of stuff in it you can learn about with this tool. The "Shift" and "Alt" keys do magical things. And, it just works... don't forget to plug it in... ok now it works.
It is NOT the end-all be-all FLS controller. Depending on your personal style and taste, you may want to add a slider/knob surface, drum pads for more velocity control, mini-keys or maybe even full sized keys for more VST control, and maybe a simple performance pad controller. But... we just jumped from $120 to about $600... Starting to make sense? Better get a keyboard and mouse while we're at it.
I have a lot of hardware in hand that has taken a lot of my time doing research, working with settings, midi junk, resetting things. It's pro-gear to be sure, and does amazing things when I get everything in place. But, when I'm tired of wrestling with all of that and putting things where they should probably go, I grab this thing, "fire" up FLS, and just jam. It's like having a notepad to write all my ideas down fast. I can always go back and fix up things in post if I need to, but holding that initial idea always feels crucial. This helps that.
Tried this with a couple other DAWs. Don't. This is a VERY niche tool. It can work, but don't use a screwdriver to hammer in nails. Also, don't use an Akai Fire to hammer in nails.
Is this pro gear? Kinda... I wouldn't use this in a performance setting. You can lose a lot of nuance that only comes from top-notch tools. However, with this controller and a laptop it's a quick and easy way to get your fingers into FLS from anywhere and is a great addition to a home studio DAW. It's cheaper than a touch screen, and it only took a decade to make, lol. Good enough... good stuff.
