    • The MK2 is amazing! The MK2 is amazing!
Style: APC40
Review Image by Alexus P.
I’ve wanted an apc40 for a very long time and decided last night to just order the MKII model. First of all I have never had an item shipped faster. I ordered this item around 3 am and had it on my doorstep by noon. Holy moly and what an amazing job getting it so fast. I would say as far as the midi launchpad goes this is one of the top ones you can get especially for its price. I mean it’s a steel and pulling it out of the box. I’ve had a lot of equipment before and it generally is cheaper. You know it’s it’s soft plastic. It just doesn’t feel very solid. However, this piece feels extremely solid. I mean it’s just it’s just a great piece of hardware overall now as far as functionality goes, I was able to plug it into my computer and start using it on Ableton without even having to set up any configuration so that’s a big plus if if you’ve ever had a configure something to a DAW program You know sometimes it can be a pain in the rear. It is a perfect size. It allows you to quickly go through and select any loops or tracks that you have created or are mixing so this would be great for both production uses and possibly DJ uses, which is something I wouldn’t dive into, but it definitely has that functionality in the picture. You can see it sitting on my lap so it’s not very huge. It’s very easy to move around, which is great for me because I have a couple keyboards that I use as well which I will be using this pad to start the recording process on the keyboard so I like to be able to move around with it on my lap. I think I think this thing is perfect. I can’t believe I waited so long to buy it. ... show more

    • Super powerful and intuitive
Style: APC40
Plugged in and immediately was able to start messing around with it. No drivers or configuration needed. Super easy to use and intuitive. Keeps blowing my mind how effective and integrated into ableton it is. Perfect for production and recording workflow. Even hooked up a footswitch to record while holding an instrument and of course it works without even needing to set anything up. Get it when you can, work every penny. Solid construction, knobs feel super heavy duty and faders are also good quality. And looks so sleek and cool. Plus the color LEDs make it look super slick , and it's lots of fun launching clips. Also the a/b feature is really cool for transitions. 11/10 would buy again in a heartbeat ... show more
