It’s compatible with ALL MIDI capable software (just remember that Ableton Live ‘may’ not correctly work with ARC running as we use three of the default buttons). On the original, the knobs could only be switched between Pan and Sends A–C; now a single Sends button gives access to up to eight Sends. From February 3rd 2020 until May 3rd 2020, users of the APC Mini, APC Key 25 and APC40 MKII are eligible for a free download of two exclusive sample packs and Ableton Live project templates from the Platinum Producer Series that provide all the tools to spark that initial idea or add the final polish to your latest masterpiece. This access to the crossfade functionality in Live’s mixer marks the APC MkII out against the mounting opposition.
While there’s a lot of crossover between these products, there are genuine points of difference that will steer you toward one or the other. Unit 4 - Carberry Court 28 Queen Elizabeth Avenue, Hillington Park, Glasgow, United Kingdom, G52 4NQ. I found this information out about a month after they discontinued it (when my APC40 mkii scroll buttons randomly stopped working).Connecting the Akai Apc 40 Mk2 with Ableton Live is pretty simple, and when the two are linked you'll be able to adjust the software's parameters from your midi controller. The new shape and colour–coding significantly improves the visual link between the hardware and software. When APC40 mkII is plugged into your computer, its hardware controls correspond 1 to 1 with Ableton Live’s interface—no additional configuring is required. Building upon this original partnership, Akai Professional now introduces an all-new, reimagined Ableton Live controller-APC40 mkII.
RGB lighting provides visual feedback and displays three clip statuses-loaded, playing, and recording-so you can intelligently perform without looking at your computer. Launched in 2009, the APC40 (followed by its more compact sibling, the APC20) was, along with the Novation Launchpad, the first dedicated, plug-and-play Ableton Live controller to hit the mainstream market.Ableton Live Lite enables musicians and producers to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise, and edit musical ideas in a fluid audio / MIDI environment.
Also included is the Puremagnetik Effect Racks, a collection of over 200 sophisticated audio effects engineered for instant sound sculpting.The contents of this article are subject to worldwide copyright protection and reproduction in whole or part, whether mechanical or electronic, is expressly forbidden without the prior written consent of the Publishers. The question now is whether Akai’s take on what makes an Ableton Performance Controller stand up against the alternatives that have come since. It also benefits from the display–supported, touch–sensitive rotaries for device control and, uniquely, browser integration. I had Push2 in the past but sold it because it was big, heavy and didn't really meet my expectations with regards to producing / playing without looking at laptop screen.
Up until now they’ve been limited by tri–colour buttons, but the upcoming Launchpad Pro boasts multi–colour pads and velocity sensitivity, nipping at the heels of Push for less money than the APC40.As well as the shape change, the most noticeable change is that the MkII’s pads are now fully multi–coloured, upgraded from the MkI’s green/yellow/red. Fonik’s Original range of stands have been expertly designed for your equipment, allowing you to play comfortably, whilst giving your studio a clean and professional look. This collection comes packed with an endless variety of channel strips, DJ and live sound effects, glitch racks, amp racks, modulators, filters, beat processors, and noise boxes. This is incredibly affordable, but does come with some sacrifices: the build quality is lower, and the launch buttons are only tri–colour (Yellow, Green, Red), like the original APC. Designed with meticulous precision, our custom-molded polycarbonate cover is crafted to perfectly fit the contours of the APC40 MK2, ensuring optimal protection.
