Akai APC40 Ableton Performance Controller - this thing looks wickedly awesome

[Blackraven]

Damn, it looks like Akai has released a new MIDI controller but this time is dedicated for Ableton. Sweet








This is perfect and considering that I'm planning to get Live 8 Suite edition in the near future, this is gonna be the perfect companion for my Macbook Pro to try out.

Anyways, here are the official websites and videos featuring this neat product:

if you know how to use it, abuse it!

i, for one, am too cheap for such high sauces so I'm resorting to a nice MPD24.

Now mix that up with an MPD32 and you have one nice controller setup. But $500 for a controller does seem a bit steep.

I'd look into this when I find a new job. Good find!
