[scorcha]

[myst]

Thought it wasn't out till november...?

Will definitely be getting it tho!

[scorcha]

came out october 1st....only been a few days but wanted to see if anyones snagged it yet

[Dub_Fiend]

Looks tasty imo, I saw a video of some guy using it to make a sick DnB improv. track... he was using it to control faders, and he was tapping out beats using samples on each of the tracks... Mental That said, my APC40 should be with me tomorrow so I don't think I'll need it

will be getting at some point.

curious to see what the dsf crew thinks of this and how it stacks up to the apc!

curious to see what the dsf crew thinks of this and how it stacks up to the apc!

just like anything else its a trade off

apc 40 only has 40 buttons next to the LP 64

but the apc 40 has all the knobs and faders you need (but also some midi problems i hear....)

given that they put a number after apc, its an industry given that they will have to increase that number to be able to sell the next version

so i would expect a new apc 64 or 56 next year, then possibly a massive 128 controller by someone else soon after in a constant cycle of making people regret their purchases

waiting to get one in store so i can get a hands on
the demo vid impressed me

[nowaysj]

I was impressed, but what is so impressive?

Are the pads velocity sensitive? I don't think so, so as a drum pad? No.

Use the pads as faders? Novel, but really?

Really it looks like a great device for launching clips and scenes. But then the price actually kind of seems high for just triggering midi events and displaying a modest amount of information about the set.
