Description

You Asked, We Listened
The new APC40 mkII incorporates five years of user feedback into its design. Almost every aspect of the original APC40 has been deliberated, reworked, and improved to provide extended controller functionality, countless musical capabilities, and a smarter workflow. In addition to its sleek look, veteran APC40 users will immediately notice the enhancements that include an RGB clip-launching grid, reinforced fader design, revised knob lay out, and much more.

Get On The Grid
APC40 mkII features a 5x8 RGB clip-launching grid that?s built for dexterous exploration: launch clips and create or perform your song from the ground up using 40 responsive triggers. RGB lighting provides visual feedback and displays three clip statuses?loaded, playing, and recording?so you can intelligently perform without looking at your computer. You can also color code your clips with the RGB lighting for advanced visual organization, and use the Shift button and directional arrows to manipulate the scope of the 5x8 grid.

Total Control
APC40 mkII comes equipped with an array of assignable faders and knobs: nine reinforced faders and eight channel control knobs are arranged in-line with each channel for an intuitive layout and smarter workflow. Eight Device Control knobs make it easy to tweak device parameters and light up to provide visual feedback of each parameter. In addition, the Sends button enable users to cycle through all eight send buses right from their APC40 mkII. The A/B crossfader has also been reworked and can be assigned and re-assigned without ever having to touch the mouse.

Features:
- Intuitive control of Ableton Live with visual feedback

Magnificent machine that allows you to use Ableton 100% without touching the mouse or almost... a real little marvel for 250 euros, you shouldn't hesitate.... Warning: the software provided by Akai crashed my HP computer because they require a restart of the computer which then no longer restarts. I had to reinstall Windows 10 and all the software of my home studio: Maschine, Arturia, Ableton, etc.... so too bad I can't load Hybride, nor Twister... otherwise the machine comes with Ableton 9 Live Lite

If you use Ableton Live and are looking for a controller that was specially designed for mixing on this software, the APC 40 is surely the best option. Simple and intuitive, if you are used to Live, you will only need a few minutes to get the hang of it. Thanks Akai for creating such a high-quality machine, and thanks Woodbrass for selling it at a good price!

Super controller and fast team, super kind and helpful. Can really assign multiple effects with Ableton's MIDI app, the color of the clips on the pads changes everything, really I recommend this product, top notch.

I've only had it for 1 week, so my feedback is probably not the most relevant and will only reflect my first impression... which is rather very positive. The only downside, if you want to use it in "pad" mode and not in "launch" mode, it's possible, but at first glance it's less obvious than I expected... I'll try to come back later to nuance my opinion and be a bit more constructive ;)
