why don't you just buy an apc40 and an apc20 and then plug them both in...

[delamartv]

@aszy4527 Though that would be an easy solution, you'll have to carry two pieces around. this mod is just one piece to carry... ;)

Learn maths ! 40 + 20 = 60 not 80 lol

[delamartv]

@EstonianMusicTeam 40 Clips + 40 Clips = 80 :)

i dont get why you would do that? sure it looks cool but it'll still needs to be connected seperatly. so all you got is 2 controllers but stuck together... i dont see any advanteges

[RileyZaporozan]

really good tutorial, but if I ever got my hands on an apc 40 and 20 I would never do this to them, too risky.

Se devo comprare la 20 & la 40 lo faccio anch'io....Grazie per il consiglio

@SHOOTNDEAD i agree, looks great, would b nice for travel, but no technical advantages

[ShenronOne]

Seems like a bad idea though.

@icondetroit Great. I'm glad he can do that. Not everyone has the resources to gig with 100's of lbs of gear. I'm detecting the same arrogant overtones from your trolling posts as the same ones used by musicians over 20 years ago, in regards to electronic music as whole. Technology changes, and so does music. I'm glad you have a preference to certain gear. Until there is substantial evidence that specific gear use inherently makes someone a better musician, your position is mute.

@icondetroit You've obviously never used the APC. It natively controls the entire daw and easily allows for infinite knob turning.. The weight of something does not imply it's power. If that were true, guitars would be secondary to an amp.

@dansemacabre17 Tell that to Skylab2000 the Godfather of Live PA Trance Tech and Headliner of many Massive Raves over decades.
