What is freakin badass about the APC40 is how it's able to update the led rings to indicate settings on various loads (with the right bit of tsi programming, of course) - personally I've got the lower fx banks controlling TPro fx in groups, and things are set so when I instantly load specific effects, TPro sends the updated settings and the APC automatically sets leds to the right position.
I've been spending a lot (too much) time with this unit over the last couple weeks, and actually if anyone is interested I was thinking about setting up an APC40 (ab)users thread, for those of us that are trying to work with it outside of Live as well. I've gotten very familiar with the ins and outs of programming the thing, and have learned a lot of little tricks to get it to do what I want (especially leds) that I think would be very helpful for other people. I'm combining TPro with Ableton Live and the APC40, and having great results too. So anyone hit back if there's interest in that.
Also, $150 for a mint unit is sick. Get it just on principal.
