About this product
The AKAI AFX is a modular controller designed for Serato DJ, featuring 8 pads, 2 channels, and 4 decks. It has analog RCA/coaxial in/out, plus USB input. It supports 24-bit/96 kHz audio. Effects include pitch shift, loop/sampler, and roll. This black controller is 2U rack height.
Our take
The AKAI AFX is a fantastic add-on for Serato DJ users wanting more control. With 8 pads and effects like pitch shifting and looping, it expands your performance capabilities. The 24-bit/96 kHz audio quality is excellent. However, it lacks a built-in mixer, so you'll need separate gear. The modular form factor means it's not standalone. At $170, it's a solid value for Serato enthusiasts looking to upgrade.
