Product Information

It was fun and something I would have loved to have had access to when I was just starting this journey. Testing on win 7 and Live resources are under a 1gb (850mb) with the base template makes me think I can also run this nicely on my aging macbook pro.

I was obviously disappointed with your earlier comments, you hadn't contacted me to say you had had an issue that i could help with but instead used youtube to vent your dissatisfaction.

TheAPC40Extender – Do more. More faders. More buttons. More pots.

In addition, you get Ableton's Puremagnetik Effects Racks plugin as well as virtual synths like Hybrid 3 by AIR Music Tech and Twist by SONiVOX. I finally found some forum posts and a couple of articles talking about the LiveAPI and access within M4L. I wasn’t going to talk much about my methods to a commercial developer until I had released everything open source, so I kept mum. It mostly looks like it offers the same level of control as before, but that's not a bad thing because it was working pretty well! The clip matrix gives you an instant view of all clip statuses: what's loaded, what's playing, and what's being recorded.

However, the MkII faces stiffer competition than its predecessor, in particular from Push and the Novation Launchpad Range. For a smooth and natural Ableton workflow on stage or in the studio, the APC40 MkII is the ideal controller for your setup. The Mini loses the right–hand side, and all the knobs, leaving just the clip launch grid and mini faders.
