Midi controllers and Ableton

Hi guys so at the moment i have an APC40 but it’s not cutting it for me.

I dont use 8 tracks so it feels like a bit of a waste of space for me.

I want one or two smaller controllers that i can custom map to suit my Ableton production and performance workflow.

Some info to help:

I usually have like 4 (sometimes a 5th) track in my setup with each having a rack of macro controls for effects.

i would need pads or buttons to launch clips from the 4/5 track system and i would preferably like faders (although not essential as i could map a knob in the macro section to control them.

Any help is welcome :slight_smile:

Xone K2 has has 4 faders for 4 potential channels and has a bunch of layers to cover a bunch of clips with the buttons, and to get the most out of the knobs.

otherwise, take a look at the Novation Zero controllers:
