About this deal

The Mini loses the right–hand side, and all the knobs, leaving just the clip launch grid and mini faders. Both feature 3 colour LED clip launch pads, rather than RGB, but those pads are just big enough to be usable.

The Apc 40 Mk2 is equipped with a standard midi remote script in Ableton Live, so you just need to connect it (see instructions below) to get it working. In the time it took you to read this, you could have created your own custom Ableton Script for that controller sitting in front of you!When composing you still have the core workflow of selecting and arming tracks from the surface, with control of the Devices in the selected track. When APC40 mkII is plugged into your computer, its hardware controls correspond 1 to 1 with Ableton Live's interface-no additional configuring is required.

APC40 mkII features a 5×8 RGB clip-launching grid that’s built for dexterous exploration: launch clips and create or perform your song from the ground up using 40 responsive triggers. Speaking of portability, the Mk2 is actually quite a bit smaller than the original, whilst, as it loses the rather superfluous ‘wings’ of the earlier model, there is generally more space for the controls. For those who want to guarantee they have access to the largest selection of Audio and MIDI effects, we suggest investing in Ableton Live Suite, as it has a much larger selection than the Standard edition. A grid of 40 RGB-lit buttons for clip launching plus faders and encoders for controlling eight channels and the master give you complete control over your arrangement and mix.There are a lot of products that overlap with the APC40, not least, of course, being Ableton’s own Push. Anyone who was put off by the lack of ‘creation’ options before won’t find anything new here to get them excited, but considering what this controller is designed to do – control Ableton Live in a live environment, it achieves that superbly.
