    So I was thinking earlier today about creating an entire large-scale performance rig out of two APC80s (an APC160):


    • first APC80 would control 4 decks in Traktor on one computer
    • second APC40 would control effects for those 4 decks in Ableton on a second computer
    • last APC20 would be used to control the lighting for the entire show


    Sounds like overkill, no? Although, it'd be the perfect size for two people to work at.
    The enemy's gate is DOWN.

    Mac Pro | 2x2.88 Ghz Quad-Core | 320 GB HDD | 6 GB RAM | 1 TB EX HDD
    Ableton Suite | Akai APC 80 | Torq Xponent

    I have now completed my APC80 and am happy with it. I have added a couple of features to mine. I have run soldered cables of the DC input on the two units so that both units run from on PSU that I have upgraded from 1no 12V DC 2A and 1no 12VDC 1A to 1no 12VDC 3A supply from my box project (ongoing) here.
    I have also used the off cuts of the Aluminium to strengthen the join between the two units, photo's to follow.
