Just wondering.. How would I replace the buttons with arcade buttons. Just a little question because I might wanna mod a few of them for beat juggling in my traktor mapping. New enclosure is no problem.

In theory it would function, but pulling it off would be difficult if you want any of the buttons to remain the same.
Traktor/Itch: Xone Dx - MidiFighter x1
Ableton: Livid Code - iPad - KP3
Tech: Macbook Pro 17", intel i7, 8gb RAM, 500gb HD 7200RPM
so if i would do it, easiest thing would be to make them all arcade.
The easiest thing to do would be buying anything else to mod.
It's cramped, expensive and features an absolutely beautiful enclosure which arcade buttons wouldn't fit on so you'd have to scrap it. Ripping it apart would be a real shame since there are plenty of other bits of kit you could work with to achieve exactly the same effect.

The keyword in that situation is launchpad I believe. The APC would be a bit harder with the rotaries, varying buttons, level faders, and all (if I'm correct).

I see your point that would take alot of work and would not make much sense

The one thing you have to remember about modding that doesn't get mentioned enough here is this: to mod anything and add/replace buttons, you need to de-solder the components on the board. This can cause major (and expensive) issues if you happen to lift a copper pad off of the circuit board, or damage the board itself. Once a pad is ripped off, your whole unit is pretty much scrap.
