APC 40

Post by PadraigO » Sat Sep 12, 2009 7:33 pm

I'm considering purchasing the APC40. I'm wondering--every vid that I see has the apc working w/Session view. What about in arrange veiw...how well does it work?

I've read reports that this pc. of hardware really doesn't take Ableton into the world of have a "real" DAW worksurface.

Thought?

The clip grid buttons are basically irrelevant in arrangement view.

But everything else works great in arrangement view. FX, Pan, Volume Faders, Sends, etc...

so...highly recommended?

I also heard something about customizing the APCs functions... have you experimented with that at all?

Kind of sounds like you don't really need it.

Max for Live will allow custom programming of the APC40.

well, Live's not a real DAW anyway, so why bother?

people are customizing the APC without max4Live, they use Bomes. google is your friend.
