I am using it with Resolume Arena and my work has become so much easier. I love my APC40 mkII so much that I've bought 2 now. It's much more intuitive than the Ableton Push, with dedicated faders buttons for each track.

I use my APC to mix Video so flicking faders to the beat of music can cause stress and damage. Highly recommend for mixing visuals live and triggering effects faster. This controller will open up a whole new world of possibilities for you in Ableton.

I did purchase a warranty on the first one and ultimately decided to go with another APC40 MKII since it's pretty much the only controller out there with all the control surfaces I love. Sadly 3 of my faders on my original APC40 mkII stopped working. The design is much improved over the original APC40 and compared to other Ableton Live solutions like those from Novation, the APC40 mkII does it all in a single device. This is what buying this thing did now I want a whole set of akai products.

This works for multiple tracks, so you can have 2 completely different songs playing with the slide of the A/B fader. High value items like this could've easily become porch pirate booty. They have my vote all the way.

I hope Akai can reinforce the faders to be more robust in the mkIII APC40 and until then make sure to keep it safe and out of harms way on tour with a hard case. Being able to turn multiple tracks on and off is a game changer.

Press the B button on the track, and hit the slider over to B. I've since purchased another unit and also got a hard shell case to better protect the faders.

This will change the way you perform with Ableton. Isolated bass line. Perfect and a must have tool for any visual jockey! Want only the cool bass line to come through while you're readying other tracks?
