APC40 Launchpad Step Sequencer - Ableton Live

[eleckson]

why the dislikes? very informative. subbed

[DJGRANTCARLISLE]

I like it ! I'm really interested in how you keep your mappings on your LP from conflicting with you APC-40. I've been using my Apc-40 with NativeKontrols Apc-CL1-TC1 for about 2yrs now and i love it. How do you keep you LP from conflicting with the APC-40? Can you e-mail me a screen shot of your midi sync tab or post a video of set up? I've wasted so much time on this so far. I can't seam to map the LP without remote box checked but then it conflicts with my APC-40. Thanks in Advanced.

Am I missing something here? This looks ill compared to most of the stepseqs out there with Ableton, real talk,

but you hosting the ALS somewhere? (And helluva job, by the bye.)

@sab531 Dude you cant go wrong with the launchpad, its like 200 bucks brand new. My advice would be to see if you can get a copy of Ableton live first to mess around with. Launchpad and Apc40 are pretty much just controllers, everything you can do with them you can do with a mouse nd keyboard (but its much more fun with a controller) :D *10 months late*

[karakazak]

This was very helpful in researching what's right for me. Thanks!

[Derblumen]

You can leave your contact facebook? I ask you a few things about akai apc 40!

hey man, whats that red box thing at the top? i think you mentioned it but what exactly does it do? thanks alot

[Sab531]

If I were just starting out which should I get the Launchpad or the APC40??

[downsalas]

hey great vid, but i thought , that the launchpad and the apc 40 where almost the same ,-- what are their differences? which one is better?

[joeyparanoia]

@downsalas Apples and Oranges . They have similiar basic functions . but IMO the APC40 is better for production use and fader action - while the LP is better for my style of DJing . It really depends on if you like to use faders and knobs or just need it to trigger clips.

@joeyparanoia I just purchased a launchpad on ebay for 85 bucks...Wasnt planning on getting one..but for 85 bucks I thought why not? I was learning towards an apc40 but I figure Ill just get a Korg NanoKontrol to make up for the LP lack of faders and knobs. ;)

[Miroslawsnketr]

@joeyparanoia man i need help 1 i just order this too, there is common sense in what ive done? i can still do something about that for example change it to a Akai mpk 49...so i need astrong opinion as quickly as possible, i want to use this 2 for producing, thx.

[sawtooth808]

Can you use another controller other than the Akai APC40, I'm thinking the Novation Zero SL MkII, I'm not knocking the APC 40, it's an amazing controller, it's just that it is too big. (The SL MkII looks a bit more portable.) Great video btw, caught it off of Twitter.

[DirkBigler]

Hi mate, I have linked this on my website akaiapc40 com, hope this is ok. Please feel ftee to link back on any websites you may have.

[sergiofantoniable]

[joeyparanoia]

Yes i have version 7 templates available - You can use the Launchpad for these as well . send me exactly what your looking for

Why is it that every video abaout some equipment is only talking abaout what you can do with it instead of just showing what you can do with it by playing. its not the equipment that makes the music.

[joeyparanoia]

cuz people wanna know how to use it ??? just a guess

[86Ivar]

Yea, probably youre right. but if i see a video of someone making cool music ill want the equip even more.!

[gomachols]

dude, most people who can actually make cool music with these don't post vids of it........ most people who know all about the electronics and tech side can't make music interesting enough to hold 30 seconds of attention...

[baughskeet]

@gomachols Maybe he's trying to show people who are contemplating buying it some of the capabilities. Nice try though.

[LubricatedBeat]

@86Ivar Dude it's just a midi controller, doesn't make sounds just manipulates, sequence sound.

Without specs, musicians don't know what it can do.

just because you don't understand technicality doesn't mean the video is bad.

[87tomify]

@LubricatedBeat

Seriously? tell me abaout it!

I got 3 midi controllers my self.

Ive seen people on youtube talk abaout what you can do with turntables, and that is shit boring compared to one who performs on turntables.

[joeyparanoia]

Available in 8, 16, 32, 64 length steps.

[punarnee]
