LOS ANGELES EVENT THIS WEEKEND
London isn't the only place still partying with the APC40. Join Akai Professional and Ableton at Turntable Lab in Los Angeles on Saturday. Here's the scoop!
Harmony Central was one of the first sites to put the APC40 through its paces. Esteemed music technology writer Craig Anderton filed the following report.
Beat Magazine sat down with Akai Professional Product Manager, Glen Darcey, to chat about the APC40. This telling interview gets at the way the APC40 project began and how the product development team brought the APC40 from concept to finished goods. Read all about it.
Because it was developed expressly for controlling Live, the APC40 comes pre-mapped and ready to play with the included Ableton Live Akai Pro APC40 Edition and the most recent standalone versions of Ableton Live 7 and 8. But that doesn’t mean you can’t customize every single button, knob, and fader for your own personal workflow and preferences. In this article, we will showcase some manual assignments you can apply to the APC40 to become a power user.
