Product placement

FL Studio: it is a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software used for music production. It ACTS as the primary interface for the video's demonstrations, and removing it would fundamentally change the video's content. Its presence is essential to the video's demonstration. AKAI MPK Mini: it is a MIDI controller keyboard used for inputting musical notes and commands into music production software. It APPEARS in the background at the beginning of the video, and removing it would not change the video's content.
