And when it's time to repeat my live, I go hop APC and everything is already mapped! ps: My girlfriend gave me the DVD "learn Ableton Live 8" so that I do not have to look how this works for 20 years: Bottom line, in a month that claims to control 70% live, and I 100% pleased with this wonderful APC and its little brother, the APC40!
8/10 for flaws that I mentioned above.</span></span></span> </div>

Bad
Published on 03/16/13 at 03:11 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Use not sold directly
Unique model test
Very expensive for a controller.02beussei
good controller that can be used for various applications
Published on 10/10/14 at 05:26 (This content has been automatically translated from French)used for 5 ans.bon quality / prix.je repeat the same thing because live is very convenient.00Brandski
A controller for Live!
Published on 08/22/14 at 04:41 (This content has been automatically translated from French)for 2 years now, strong enough even the plastic seems very fragile. The fader knob and worn but malgrès heavy use it holds up.
I used to drive my Ableton Live. We can even bracher pedal.
I had one before and APC20 knobs part of the PCA 40 is vriament well.21clement.commien

Versatile controller!
Published on 07/06/14 at 17:20 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I use APC for almost a year.
I have long sought a controller with bcp opportunities, faders, knobs and pads in large numbers.
This is a truly versatile machine with habit and mastery of different DAW can use with everything to do anything ...
I find it unfortunate or that I like least is that the faders are too short so I is not precise enough, and we find ourselves quickly need more knobs to really control all the effects and synths but I quibble.

I used to run with live clips, but mainly in fl studio 11 (oh yeah?) Perf fl for apc mode has been very well designed (launch clips, play opportunity on two banks of 16 pads, saw- meter, setting vst knobs and faders and assignable to infinity!).
I also made a mapping 2/4 decks for deckadance2, it helps out when your plates are down or not at home ...
You can also Maper on software like resolume or arkaos VJing and mix live video, large field of possibilities!
well mapped so it proves convenient to vj / dj, mixing or performance, the choice is a multifaceted controller to the vast opportunities provided that tames ... ie well organized sessions for not that it is a mess!
for the 350th one has a controller that meets all expectations about, we buy to control his Ableton and you used to everything, it's great. The ideal is to couple it with other controllers (a master keyboard, matrix knobs / faders, etc ...) and you will not miss anything, it's a great base to control your favorite app!
I remake this choice without hesitation, the machine really helps out for everything.See less20Anonymous
I love it!
Published on 02/06/14 at 10:36 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I use it for about 3 months, but these three months are not far behind. Before the APC40, while staying at Akai, I bought a Akai MPK mini, nice but too Toy .. Then I switched to a master keyboard Alesis, perfect quality. APC is really an intuitive MIDI controller for Ableton, more numerous rev are present on the internet to use it more or less native. Anyway, the good thing is its ease of use and the negative is that it is not a native controller, but it is still possible to use a MPC brand that is not rest either.
Level quality / price ratio, for a price of € 340 it is a bit expensive, but nowadays the price of a MIDI controller with a certain ease is not given.

I would do this choice without doubt, however for non-followers of Ableton, go your way to pass an MPC of the same brand and impeccable quality.See less10Tom97531
Published on 12/06/13 at 10:52 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I use the APC40 for about 1 year.
By then against my use is not really for live performance, but rather for mixing sauce sound engineer not DJ, so my opinion concerning this use.
In this part of the mix, it's not bad, but not giant. But I think it was designed for that. I wished a machine that would help me get my mouse to the mix, just fiddling with buttons and fader. And the big gap for this application mix is the motorized faders. And also dedicated for setting the EQ / Compressor controls. After that, it is true that you want the control of a strip console while the concept of frozen strip does not exist in Live, I quibble a bit

In all cases it is doable rather well using the 8 buttons dedicated to racks and just make a rack channel strip house with her favorite macros to be controlled with the APC40.
In the end, it's still pretty convenient, it requires some customization, but not good if you want to spend more than $ 1,000 in a control surface, there 's really no other choice ...
I also used to get ideas of arrangement, and there on the other hand, I find it more appropriate
I think remake that choice to finance equal, but if I had a much bigger budget I probably will direct to a surface mix with motorized fader.See less10
