SAE Selects APC20 as controller of choice for students
Akai Professional's APC20 adopted for teaching Ableton
SAE INSTITUTE SELECTS AKAI PROFESSIONAL APC20
More Than 50 Ableton Live Performance Controllers Are Installed In SAE Facilities
Akai Professional has worked closely with SAE Institute to achieve SAE's selection of the APC20 as its controller of choice for students learning Ableton Live software.
SAE Institute, with campuses located in London and around the world, is a leader and innovator in training audio engineers and music producers with locations in the world’s most influential music cities. Ableton Live software is playing an increasingly important role in SAE Institute courses because it is used so widely in today’s DJ performance and modern music production. SAE Institute selected the Akai Pro APC20 controller to best teach students the performance capabilities of Ableton Live software.
Akai Professional worked in partnership with software developer Ableton to create the APC20. Adding the APC20 to Ableton Live transforms the user’s experience from one of constructing tracks with a computer keyboard and mouse to composing and performing with a seamless, fully integrated hardware and software music system.
The
APC20 centers on its five-by-eight Clip Launch grid. This bank of multicolor triggers not only start and stop clips playing in Live, they also show cells’ status in the software – whether a clip is loaded or not, whether it is playing or not, record-arm status and more. Clip Stop triggers, transport controls and faders round out the control surface. Users can switch the APC20’s fader assignments between volume control, pan, sends and three different user-mapped modes. A new User Mode enables musicians to use the Clip Launch buttons to control instruments and the Drum Rack.
“I discussed the available options with our technical advisors, and the APC20 was simply the best solution,” said Silvan Jongerius, chief buyer, SAE Institute. “The APC-with-Live platform has become such a standard in so many countries worldwide, and that made our decision easy.” “We are honored and pleased that SAE Institute selected the APC20 for its program,” said Adam Cohen, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Akai Professional. “We are looking forward to the musical creations of the APC generation!”
