I’m debating between the Akai APC40 and the Vestax VCM-600 to use as my primary Ableton Live MIDI controller.
Posted by Paul on Wednesday Jan 28, 2009 Under BlogThe Akai APC40:
- Designed in partnership with Ableton
- Unique clip matrix with multicolor lighting displays current clip status
- No mapping required for use with Ableton Live
- Exclusive bidirectional communication between the APC40 and Ableton Live
- Professional feel with rugged, metal chassis and premium controls
- Comes with Ableton Live Akai Professional APC Edition, free upgrade patch for full versions of Live
- USB plug-and-play connection for Mac and PC
- Premium controller with rugged, metal chassis
or the Vestax VCM-600:
- The VCM-600 can control 160 parameters of Ableton Live software and other MIDI compliant DAW software with high resolution MIDI signals sent via USB.
- Multi track control (track bank)
- High quality input faders and pitch faders from the VCI-100 and PMC-580 are also applied to the VCM-600 for advanced operability.
- Vestax quality Input fader/Cross fader curve control
- Simple plug & play activation with Macintosh and Windows operating system computers.
