Akai APC 40 - The ultimate Ableton controller?
:eek::eek:
Woah.
Holy. Shit.
d00de! this akai is breath taking!
Split this one from the DJ Tech Controllers 2009 post, as it deserves its’ own post! Briljant finding Rumblejazz!
I have just seen this and was just about to post it here! Looks very intersting one must say
It gives me some sort of weird, excited jitters, and i know they won’t go away until i’ve got one!
awua?aSDf?!?E!uw!
I love Akai!

Look at the top right of the page, next to the Graphic…right under where it says
APC40
ABLETON CONTROL SURFACE
It’s in yellow
They spelled it wrong!!!
Someone at Akai is going to feel like a bit of ‘A BEL’
lol?
No? anyone…?
:eek:

it makes me want to… to pray hehe
i’m thinking of dropping my uc-33e and trigger finger for this bad boy…when we know how much it is, of course
I’m gonna throw £500 out there 
My mpd32, was £220, so i reckon gotta be twice as much and a little more…

Yeah… think as much too.
So I’ll probably will go for a Behringer instead. 
I wouldn’t be surprised with $1000 USD.
I can’t imagine it would go as high as that! Especially since it work out more expensive over here.
For just a midi controller with out a sound card or any touch sensitivity, platters or anything like that…
Although, there are a lot of illuminating buttons on that thing!

I just wouldn’t be surprised.500 pounds, though, isn’t far from $1000, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they round it up. Couldn’t see it being lower than $750
I don’t care how much it is I freakin want that thing, I almost creamed my freakin pants when I saw it. Its just what I been looking for like I seriously was thinking about getting a mpd32 or 24 and a monome and use them for my ableton sets, this put both of them together just with out the mpc style pads.
if its 500 to 700 dollars I will get it once I get back from AIT.
Now I just got to see what the serato bridge will bring.
I think it will look perfect next to an MPD32, so you still have velocity sensitive pads, don’t know what i’d do with all the faders and knobs though
