Akai APC40

Post by panleft » Sun Feb 27, 2011 11:25 am

Anyone got one?

They look pretty good but not sure i'd get the full potential out of one it I bought one.

Could you use them to DJ Live? Kind of like a budget Deadmau5..

I've got one. If you want to DJ or play live using Ableton then it's definitely worth having. Bear in mind, though, that it's quite big, which can cause problems in cramped DJ booths, and it's not powered via USB, so you have to plug it in. For those reasons, I'd say it's overkill for simple DJ sets - there are more compact options out there - but I'd recommend it for anything beyond that.
