Will Ableton Live Akai Professional APC40 Edition Be enough

[neworleansTECH]

Hello Yall,

I really want a APC40, but will smart mixing work with the edition of live that comes with the APC40, or am I going to have to upgrade to a full version another $350? Does anyone know what features are going to be limited in this version. I hope it is more like a full version than Traktor LE was.

Its based on Live 7 and I was told its a beefed up version of Live 7 LE. Here is the comparison chart:

So from my understanding it does however have some sort of support for MAX/MSP, or will get support eventually. Maybe they will release an updated version based on Live 8, once MAX/MSP is done. Not sure because it seems like the integration is already there:
