Published on 05/11/11 at 00:47- For how long have you been using it?
I use it for about two months.
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes, UC33e, BCR/BCF2000.
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
+ Ergonomics, everything is at hand.
+ Ease of implementation and use (from the moment you know how to use Ableton Live
the APC40 is a breeze)
+ Colored pads that indicates the status of videos
+ Low latency
Crossfader + handy
- The only downside that I could give this jewelry, it does not have motorized faders,
reassign the slider every time and sometimes a problem in live use.
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
About 400 euros it's still pretty expensive for some of us, but it is possible to find
hand, some people buy it and do not find most useful, therefore, you can find
APC40 very well maintained for about 280 euros.
Once the investment, and according to the utility you have, I do not see why the change to
another machine ... ?
In any case it's a very good machine, the pads are well made, the crossfader is
Replaceable, the chassis is metal, the LEDs around the knobs are the most beautiful effect,
integration with Ableton Live is phenomenal for my taste ...
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes, yes and yes, I even plan to buy a APC20 and more.
Conclusion:
To me this is the most ergonomic controller that I know (integration with Ableton is absolutely bluffing), good quality and easy to use I recommend it to anyone wanting to play live, has changed the APC40 my vision of live machine.
