Big Ups and Shout Out to Controlled Demolition and Derders!

Guys,

Just wanted to take the time out to big you guys up and thank you again.

I played out this weekend to 2000 ppl using my APC40 and APC20.
Its not officially the APC80 yet as I only got the APC20 on Friday.
But I used it like it was the 80.

I have been using a modified version of Derder’s APC40 Traktor mapping and was able to load it up for the APC20 too…easy dead easy.

Everything worked PERFECTLY!

I was able to rock out like a mutha fucka!

Pics and video’s coming up during this week!

Thanks guys…I would not have done it without you!

@Cntld,

I will be doing the FB share etc that you mentioned.

Fucking madness!

:smiley:

ANNNND here are the pics!
As mentioned, the APC80 is not done yet. It was the 2 loose pieces, but I used it as though it was! Will upload the pics of the mod when its done!



:smiley:

congrats! looks packed, glad you had fun :slight_smile:

it’s unbelievable how many views the delamar video has gotten in such a short amount of time… I wish I had the chance to edit it myself though. don’t get me wrong, the guys at delamar really did an excellent job - but there’s a couple of really corny shots in there that should have been left out…

anyway, feel free to share it! backlinks to my website or facebook page are always appreciated :slight_smile:

thanks!

let’s face it, it’s a simple but epic mod that looks like it was desinged that way. If I ever decide buy an APC again I’m building one :slight_smile:.

Thats it! simple…but so so so effective!

@CTRLD…yeah dude…i know what you mean.

I kinda got busted on FB…for checking out that girls goods…and someone took a pic!

Had to answer for it at home last night…once my GF had logged on.

:smiley:

WOOOT!

Finished putting my APC80 together last night. Attaching the support plate this evening!

It was painless…

So awesome!

Took some headscratching to figure out how I wanted my decks laid out.
But was able to pull it off…mapping sorted!

:slight_smile:

Uploading my video from the gig last weekend…and will also post the pics of the APC80.

Finally got it uploaded!

Apologies for the slightly distorted sound…but you gotta understand. Its a TurboSound rig and my camera is a little MiniDVD Cam.
The footage was taken by a german DJ, who had never used a videocam before. :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously, you can hear a woman coaching him at one point. HEHEHEHE
:smiley:

Sorry Sgary…He did a good job under the circumstances.:roll_eyes:

Looks amazing mate, might look into the Apc setup myself once i’m familiar with Ableton.

And, does anybody think the guy in the white shirt leaning on the barrier from 1:41 may have taken something…? :roll_eyes:
He looks fucking bolloxed lol.

9

Ahh…yeah…MUNTED!

Was not the only one! HAHAHAHA

This is using Traktor Scratch Pro however…not Ableton!

:slight_smile:

Just using 4 decks…and like having ALL my functions available to me without having to use a SHIFT button or changing modes. No soft-take over either!

10

Awesomeness, and Ray deserves all cred’ he gets!

11

Indeed!

12

Still need to highlight him once more on my blog! :smiley:

13

Just out of a matter of interest what way do you have it mapped in Traktor just interesting to see how you put all those faders, buttons, endless encoders, ect to use??

Must be a pain in the ass to carry around safely:O

14

Nah, I have a case and it was a big festival…so its not like I carry it to clubs weekly etc.

I have it mapped to Traktor, as this is what I use to DJ. For the last 3 years now…about.

All the buttons and knobs are mapped. All my cue points…play\stop…Tempo Bend…FX bank on or off…insta loops…some insta FX. The knobs are controlling EQ and FX.

I have a lot of faders left over that are not mapped. I am saving them for the TSP2!

:slight_smile:

The mapping i use is from Derders. If you look for the HouseSQ (I think it was) APC40 mapping, you will see a picture of what the functions of the buttons are. This is just duplicated and slightly changed for my APC80.

So it is the best for me…as I have visual feedback on EVERYTHING…and no mode changes for Juggle Mode etc.
