Take Control of Ableton Live!Meet the Akai Professional APC40 controller — the perfect solution for performing with Ableton Live. Akai Professional and Ableton worked together to develop the APC40 performance control surface, giving it an intuitive interface that resembles Live's software interface — it makes the transition from in-the-box work to hands-on control totally seamless. Just connect the APC40 to your laptop via USB — you don't need to map any controls to get going. There are 40 clip triggers, 16 knobs, level faders, a cross-fader, tap tempo, and more. If you're an Ableton Live artist (or soon to be), Akai Professional's APC40 belongs in your rig.

The MC Control V2 from Euphonix is an 4-channel control surface with a comprehensive touch-screen interface that uses a 100Mbs Ethernet EuCon connection to control audio/video applications running on Mac OS X based computers. EuCon is a high-speed communication protocol and enables control of virtually every application feature with EuCon aware software. The control surface also supports the HUI and Mackie Control protocols, but with a slightly diminished level of integration.

At the heart of MC Control v2 is a new high-resolution 800 x 480 pixel LED-backlit touch-screen interface that offers a wide viewing angle, bright graphics and excellent color consistency. The touch-screen not only displays all top-level project information like track names, metering (from mono to 5.1 surround data), automation mode, fader/pan values, etc., but also allows the user to solo/mute/record arm tracks, trigger Soft Keys, perform surround panning, and much more directly from the surface.

Surrounding the touch-screen, the controller features 8 improved touch-sensitive rotary encoders that offer direct control over everything from panning and gain to editing plug-in and EQ parameters, and can be pressed to instantiate and navigate through parameters. Soft keys are one of MC Control v2's most powerful features to speed up workflow, instantly updating when switching between applications and providing quick access to the most used functions.

Four motorized, touch-sensitive faders allow control of track levels and record status. Also included are transport controls and a data entry wheel that also functions as a jog/shuttle wheel. The unit can be set up to access multiple applications simultaneously (only one program is in focus at one time), and the controller intelligently recognizes which application is in focus and loads the corresponding Application Set into the display.
