Introducing the hotly anticipated new Akai APC40 Ableton Performance Controller. Much more than just a USB MIDI controller this is an instrument in it’s own right that allows the user to interface with Ableton Live taking the application back to it’s original performance roots. It’s very much a plug and play device with minimal set up to get underway, just a couple of USB plugs and boom your in.
The APC40 boasts bidirectional communication between the controller and the Live interface which means that any little tweaks you do on the APC40 will also be represented graphically in the Live environment… cool hey! Other features include customizable sliders, buttons and knobs, Session Overview, Transport Control, Tempo Control, Clip Launch, Button Matrix and lots more.
Akai are calling this the link between the human and the computer that will facilitate the perfect musical creativite expression and who can argue with that! The controller has so much flexibility and options of use from an artist producing electronic music to the more creative DJ using LIVE to remix tracks on the fly.
The Akai APC40 is retailing at £400 but is available at Edinburgh's Best Music Shop Rikki's Music for £379. Follow the link for further details. We dig!
