APC80 Tutorial Videos!

as promised, delamar.de published the APC80 video today. it even includes a bit of the “fuck reel” :smiley: I’ll post my follow-up video later.

since we had a brand-new APC80 after the tutorial was done and I really don’t need another one (it would be badass - but seriously, no), we eventually decided that the best thing to do is to auction it off at ebay hint hint.

in related news, I also relaunched my website :slight_smile:

— UPDATE —

here’s the follow-up, in HD.

Nice!

Very nice that you finally did it.
I still have to wrap up the NS7-Timecode thing (but will do so soon).

nice video, helped a lot. Any chance you can shoot me a link to the mappings video that is said to be posted on your website…I can’t find it…I feel stupid haha

nvm i just saw the follow up video part of your post! Cant wait

7

great job! many more steps than i imagined. great looking controller

8

Cool one CTRLD! Will be watching it soon.

Now all I need is an APC 40, an APC 20 and many, many hours to learn how to use ableton properly. What’s stopping me!

10

Is the video Downloadable?

No time to check it here at work.

I can use a DL program I guess…

:slight_smile:

11

finally :wink:
pretty cool thing you made there.. understandable video for copycats..

12

The video is really impressive - well done

13

Nice vids

14

excellent video tutorial!! even if the intro took you awhile to nail :stuck_out_tongue:

any videos of it in action?

“And the warranty is gone, so now we need to continue”
I like that.

Very good stuff, got some questions I had answered.
I’m super tempted to start modding my own pair, I need to watch my cashflow a little though, and spend what I have on my own controller.

You oughta build more, and sell them :slight_smile:

16

Planning on finally doing this mod sometime before my gig on the 25th. I don’t think I have a little blowtorch thingy though :confused:

17

Nice vid!

I have got my eye out for the APC20…have not seen much of it here in SA.
The APC came to me by luck really.

I might cough up the dough for a brand new one…

I really like.

Thing is…it is going to be PERFECT for the new Traktor Pro 2 software.

PERFECT i tell you.

18

you could probably do heat it on a gas cooker if you have one…

19

@ctrld…

So are going to upgrade to the TSP2 software?

Are you still jamming the APC80?

What are your thoughts on the APC80 and the TSP2 software together?

I think it will be fucking brilliant!

Searching for the APC20 here…might even buy it NEW…and do the mod!
:slight_smile:

hey guys, thanks for all the feedback :slight_smile:

I was never planning to build APC80s to order because I know I couldn’t make the time - this is why I went through the trouble of making this tutorial in the first place; I just want to share.

as to TSP2, yeah - I’ll probably take a look at that but I definitely won’t be using the APC80 with traktor; I think the layout of the controls makes most sense in ableton live :slight_smile: I’m sure someone on here will eventually come up with an excellent mapping, but I like my setup the way it is. I’ll stick with the 80 for ableton live and my three pad controllers + the evo5 for traktor; it’s more than enough to get creative.

as to the follow-up video, I had to re-do it (saw the original footage again, realized that it sucked, went back to square one) but it’s on the way to the rendering queue :slight_smile: definitely coming this week-end, if this render turns out okay I might even upload it tonight.
