does it comes with a free ableton live 9 intro (software) ??

I ordered it last year, but it did come with a serial code to allow you to access Ableton Live once you download it from an online source.

Is it also a beat sequencer?

Hi Joel,AKAI support here! The APC40 MKII is a MIDI controller only, allowing you to control softwares like Ableton, but it does not have an internal beat sequencer built in. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me directly at mvieira@inmusicbrands.com.

Are the faders motorized?

AKAI support here! The faders are not motorized. If you have any other questions, please call or email us using the contact information on akaipro.com/support.
