In the office by day, Mark Egloff anchors Ableton's logistics department, overseeing the shipping of Ableton products to all corners of the planet. After clocking out in the evening, Mark opens up Max for Live, and has discovered a passion for creating tools to help others make music.

A hobby musician and remixer, Mark always preferred the direct control and tactile feel of hardware drum sequencers over their software equivalents. But hardware sequencers also have their shortcomings when compared to the arrangement and fine-tuning potential of Live. Inspired by the possibilities of Max for Live, Mark teamed up with Shane Hazleton from Akai. With the help of Shane's insight and hardware expertise, Mark created a patch that can be used for hours of beat making without touching the keyboard or mouse.

Using the APC Step-Sequencer

Apc20

The APC Step-Sequencer converts the Akai APC40 or APC20 into a full-featured step sequencer. To use, simply load the device onto a MIDI track and then drop in an instrument (it's optimized for use with Drum Racks.) The APC-Step-Sequencer automatically configures your connected APC40 or APC20.

After connecting, the top four rows of the APC's button matrix toggle 32 steps of a MIDI clip on or off, while the Clip Stop buttons and Cue Level dial allow you to quickly switch between the different sounds in your Drum Rack. Many of the APC's other controls are also reconfigured. The ? button launches built-in documentation that details how everything works.

Want a big grid with a small footprint? Want a no-fuss, ultra-sturdy, affordable Session View controller? Want to extend your APC40 to 16 tracks and an 80 button grid? Want customizable? Look no further--Akai Professional and Ableton present the APC20.

The APC20 is Akai Professional's second dedicated controller for Ableton Live. It frees you from the keyboard and mouse, letting you compose and perform with a fully integrated hardware/software musical system. Like the APC40, it features a multicolor 8x5 button Session View Matrix, 9 high-quality faders and two-way communication with Ableton Live. The APC20 also features 3 modes of operation, built-in customization features and a number of smart new tricks.

The APC20 was co-developed by Ableton and Akai Professional.


The APC20 is a smaller version of its big brother, the APC40, with the same 40-button grid for direct access to the clips in your Session View. Small is perfect if you're already using multiple controllers, short of studio space or working on a budget.
The name Akai Professional suggests quality, and the APC20 certainly delivers. From the multicolor, LED backlit buttons, to the traction on the faders and the road-worthy metal casing: the APC20 is tactile, rugged and responsive.
Note Mode lets you use the button grid for playing MIDI notes instead of launching Session View clips.

If you already own an APC40, you can hook up an APC20 and automatically access 16 tracks and an enormous 80-button grid, thanks to the new 'Combination Mode.' You can also run up to 6 APC20s together.
The APC20's faders can be instantly switched to control track levels, pans or multiple sends--no mapping required. Additional user banks let you assign the faders to tempo, effects wet/dry, global tempo or anything else you want.
Software
Apart from the user banks on the faders, you can customize the APC20 to your own, personal workflow using Live's simple MIDI mapping function. Control any function in Live with any part of the APC20.
