Limited Edition White APC 40's are coming... and they are sexyyyyyyyyyy
Posted on: 05.09.2012 by Chance Clum
Hey guys, this is my first post to the community s, but I have been browsing reading Ean's articles, and other posts on the DJTT community s here for about the 2 years I've been spinning, but until today I had nothing worth sharing really. If this seems fake I am more than happy to post video of this, because about a half hour of browsing google, and various community s I couldn't find anything about these, but guitar center had 2 limited edition white apc 40's in our city yesterday. A good friend and dj from the local EDM event company (www.facebook.com/arkevents) that I helped co-found about six months ago picked one up on labor day. I had been planning on buying a black APC for a while, but seeing this limited one I had to bite the bullet. It has white plastic sides and a metal chassis around the knobs and faders, and is painted a pearlescent white (like an axiom pro). He said akai told him nothing as to how limited it is, but he said he could order more.

Here are some pics, I'd love to see what everyone's thoughts are

I got it right before it came out its amazing, its not just white, its candy peral white, black knobs with white caps, and other custom stuff also. They match my White Beats Pro also. SEXXXXYYYYYYYYY

The buttons feel softer and the channel volumes feel more solid. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Sexy piece of equiptment!
Get it before they sell out, Only 200 made.

I am hoping for a white apc 20 so bad hahaha the piano edition just wouldn't do it justice.

I agree, Akai was very on point with the materials and workmanship of the unit because white can be super cheesy if it isn't done right. It really does look quite different, somehow just more polished and refined than the regular black one that I borrowed from a friend over the summer. I believe the pearl paint gives it a fit and finish and that is what's making me feel that way. Either way good job Akai on a cool special edition, the more I use it the more I like it.

I have yet to try and use the APC live (I have only explored ableton as a production tool to this point), but I would imagine that it is easier to work on than the black one. I may try and do an ableton set at a small gig in the future, and I will let you know.

These are official Akai LE editions - there will probably be 500 made (like the white Mixtrack Pro) as the allowance for the north of the UK alone is 50 units so 500 would make sense globally.

We have a batch of these coming into our store, as will most other retailers - but im sure they will shift fast

The units themselves seem alot easier to use in white especially in low light conditions

Wasn't those the GC special editions that GC dumped for $200 this spring?

Doesn't take much to paint a black APC white.
