I guess we know now why the Push3 release felt 'pushed'...

@TeleporterM11 9 ай бұрын

I like the fact that it has so much more than Push 3, things like chords which were left out by Ableton on Push 3 make it a definite buy buy buy for me. Aka is doing a good job at knowing what we want in our units.

Looks like a smaller, more affordable Push! very cool!

@EliasJackson 9 ай бұрын

Not sure why people are comparing this to the Push when its feature set is clearly meant to rival the Novation Launchpad Pro Mk3

It's like a watered down push with some really awesome features. I don't own a push so I was sold on this with the standalone external hardware sequencer

@EliasJackson almost traded my og curcuit for a launchpad mk3 but I'd have to drive and hour one way and I saw this thing pop up and was sold. Does the launchpad also have cv gate? I'm running some semi modular hardware so for the price point couldn't beat it. And I got it on a payment plan for 30 bucks a month 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anybody know how to control master volume on the APC64? There are eight touch faders and I can use the direction pad to move far right on my instruments until I am at the Master track. But let’s say someone uses 20 instruments and then has to scroll over far to get to that master track. What is a quick access way to adjust the Master volume?

HI . Great video . I have some questions to make. I have APC64 and Microfreak Arturia. I want to use APC64 in standalone mode with Microfreak. How do I have to connect the midi between them? And do I have to configure any parameters on APC?

Hi, I’ve already own the APC40 MK2. Does it match if I own the new APC64 with the APC40 MK2 in order to use the trigger and the pads for composing ? Thanks for reply 😉

@AntonKuznetsovMusic 4 ай бұрын

How do the pads compare to the launchpad pro mk3? Everything looks the same button wise as the launchpad pro. There are of course the strips and the screen.

The onboard sequencer is way too basic IMHO. With all the connectivity and all the emphasis Akai has put promoting the standalone functionality, you would expect something more advanced. I hope they improve it fast enough, as it is now is useless for me.

Don't blame the tool, blame the musicians. If a house looks like other houses, you don't blame the hammer, you blame the architect. Musicianship has been lost amongst modern music, especially since so much of mainstream music is written to go "viral", which means they're intentionally creating the same thing as everybody else, just different enough to be "original"
