| Isreal Roberto 26.04.2011 | the launchpad mapping with instant gratification on this site is very good for 2 decks. you can actually mix with it alone if you just use the EQ kills strategically. personally for a portable setup I just got the korg nanokontrol and I'm pairing it with that mapping on the launchpad, no need for a mixer and super freakin portable. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 25.04.2011 | No, it is perfectly valid since I was talking about the apc 20, not the 40. I happen dislike the dimensions and layout of the apc 40 which is why I wouldn't go for that one. I agree faders are awesome and something I would really love to have but and addition of it alone isn't quite enough to compensate for the reduced grid size, the fact it's bus powered and fact you only get 2 pages (as far as I can tell) rather than as many as you would like. Not saying it's not an excellent piece of kit, I'm just saying I find bus powered controllers really damn annoying. Here's hoping for the apc 20 mk 2, the extra portable rehash of the apc 20 |

| Kiyoko Wellisch 24.04.2011 | Oh totally! I really really love the apc 20. It's such a lovely controller. It's well thought out and nice and hefty. If it was bus powered and had an endless encoder above each fader instead of that stupid takeover on the faders it would easily be my favourite controller available at the moment. OH well |

| Clay Lorow 24.04.2011 | Anyway, don't get a combination of two instead of one. More usb ports used, more cables to forget at home. Go for the launchpad, only thing I can believe of better then the launchpad are apc20 and apc40. |

| Eli Hergonz 24.04.2011 | just to inform you that MPD24 DO NOT have TRUE 360 knobs. They only send ABSOLUTE value so AKAI advertise is misleading. |
