Review: Il complemento perfetto per Ableton Live - Un dispositivo efficiente e perfetto per l'uso con Ableton Live (ovviamente si può usare anche con altre DAW, previa programmazione ad hoc). Consente la modifica in tempo reale di molti parametri, i fader touch sono sensibili e pratici. i pad sensibili al tocco possono essere usati sia per lanciare le clip, sia per "suonare" sia frasi melodiche che percussioni. C'è anche la possibilità di usarlo come sequencer, ma non l'ho ancora sperimentata. Bisogna considerare che l'uso richiede una certa pratica, data l'infinità di funzioni e la molteplicità dei tasti multifunzione, ma online si trovano molti buoni tutorial (la registrazione consenta anche di utilizzare una piattaforma didattica online ma non ho ancora approfondito). Un difetto, proprio a volerglielo trovare, è il fatto di avere le luci (multicolore) dei pad poco visibili se usato all'aperto, anche alla massima potenza. Per il resto, un must per chiunque utilizza Ableton in contesti live.
Review: Great controller — super fun to use! - Loving the APC64 so far. It feels solid, the RGB pads are super responsive, and it just works right out of the box with Ableton. The built-in step sequencer is a game changer for live sets and jamming. Touch strips took a little getting used to, but now I’m hooked. Also love that I can hook it up to my modular gear with the CV outputs. Overall, great buy—makes producing and performing way more fun.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone gets it to work? I got 2 of them but it's not recognized from my computer. I tested 5 different computers including desktop.**
A: It may not work properly with any version of Ableton below 10. I'm not sure if that's the problem but I heard it online that it might not function with older versions of Live.

**Q: sirve para trabajar con sunlite2 ?**
A: Si

**Q: Can this midi pad controller work with GarageBand on Mac ?**
A: I think it could work with Garage Band but you wouldn't get the full functionality. Since it was designed to work with Ableton it has a specific "language" that makes the LEDs color correspond to the clip colors on Abletons session view. It's full potential is in being a controller to trigger clips in session view so in my opinion it would be a waste for any other DAW and you would be better off with a midi controller that's designed for a more diverse set of conditions instead of the APC mini which is so specific to Ableton session view. It's a one trick pony but it does its one trick pretty well.

**Q: Can the apc mini mk2 be used with software other than live?  are the keypads / faders assignable to midi messages?**
A: Yes keypads and faders are MIDI messages and can be assigned to other apps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sensitive Pattern, die fader sind Einwenig gewöhnungsbedürftig aber Top Teil! Sehr Empfehlenswert!
*by P***M on 22 May 2024*

Geniales Teil.... braucht einwenig Einübungszeit aber mit LiveLite und den free Download Sets sehr zu empfehlen .Das die Regler durch diese Touchscreen ersetzt wurden ist Optisch Top aber einwenig gewöhnungsbedürftig aber sobald man raus hat wie man mit device auf Live Lite die Regler Durchschalter je nach Asset, kein Problem.Zusätzlich kann man sich ja noch eine Mpd mit Regler kaufen gibt es schon unter Hundert und man ist total versorgt.Ich benutze zum bspw.noch eine mpk Mini dazu .
