AKAI APC40 and Beyond

[astatic]

There is a template be patient...

I'm not that kind of person

[White-Light]

Of course, the template will be wrong if you reassign anything though...

Some of the default setup I just can't work with (Quick Effect selection on a knob for example, you try and dial in number 9 on demand ) so I remapped a load of it. I know a few others have done some extensive work on it as well.

I can't comment directly as I don't have one. I believe some kind of re-assignment for the standard setup is being worked on following suggestions from other users.

In all probability, there will be something to similar to what's on the forums atm to print out that matches the standard software assignments when its all been finalised.

But when using small Dymo labelwriter stickers you could change any re-assignment to you needs, that's what i did.

I intend to Dymo mine when I'm done with changing it. I think it'll only require it for the less well used/obvious functions.
The Remote Zero dynamic labelling really did work a treat, and you only realise how useful it was when you don't have it!

Where are you finding these cheap apc's. All i can find in Aus is new for around $400-$440 or 2nd hand for $280-$300

Only just seen this, if your still after one have a check on Amazon, the Amazon themselves will ship from the US.

Out of stock at mo, but ordered mine and came in stock in a few days...

Hey depo

I managed to pick up a brand new apc40 for $350 from StoreDJ, their normal price was $400 but we're having a 3 day ninja sale where I got it for the cheaper price.

But yeah there are cheaper options on Amazon but you'll need to supply your own power supply (12 volts @ 2.5 amps with Centre positive connector)

How are you finding it?

I can answer that one, Wayne. The APC-40 with Beyond is *really* damned cool. Better than the Novation Remote Zero. In fact, I'll go so far as to say it's better than having a touch-screen.

Trust me: get one and you'll love it.

Much better than the novation remote zero mkii I previously owned. The biggest problem with the novation was latency, which the apc40 thankfully has close to none. A very responsive little controller for sure. Unfortunately I'm having a bit of trouble with two of the faders after a dusty festival circuit during the summer, but dust can be a problem with much more expensive units too.

I don't think I'm using anything from the original pangolin template though other than the cue grid, everything's been customized. But that's part of the beauty of beyond..
