New akai ableton controller
for sure - this is a given.8O wrote:chapelier fou wrote:Only 5 scenes is maybe not enough, though.I'm guessing - hoping - that applies to scenes too.Akai wrote:The matrix is not limited to only 40 clips: you can scroll and shift, enabling access to an unlimited number of cells.
BTW, it's "BI-colour" LEDs, not tri from the looks of it: Yellow, orange, red==yellow and red leds. BUT the mapping is done quite intelligently, I think.
That's it, all studio purchases have now been put on hold for me... I reckon I'll be needing one of these bitches!
The akai faders are awesome, that's all I can say - for doing slams - there's nothing like them. I have a friend who'll do entire gigs just pounding them, it feels great and the results are great.shai wrote:looking at the fader -- they are for sure not motorized.. so why not putting endless knobs and save some space.. for more knobs? i wonder
I think a large part of the Ableton philosophy here, and I know that Gerhard is all about this, is the tactile sensation. You really win a lot by having big, physical faders in that respect.

I made my own a few years ago. Only 5 scenes is maybe not enough, though.

yeah.. i guess you're right. i hope it wont force the slimmed down 8-track-only approach... not that it's necessarily bad..Machinate wrote:The akai faders are awesome, that's all I can say - for doing slams - there's nothing like them.

I think it'll be easily scrollable through sets of 8 tracks, much like a Mackie Control, which also only has 8 tracks at a time... I've seen those used on 64+ track productions.shai wrote:yeah.. i guess you're right. i hope it wont force the slimmed down 8-track-only approach... not that it's necessarily bad..Machinate wrote:The akai faders are awesome, that's all I can say - for doing slams - there's nothing like them.

At the very least, I think. I'm betting somewhere between 400 and 600 euro - 600 would be the death sentence for this rig, though, wouldn't it?logic_user99 wrote:+2 MPD24 & NocturnMeef Chaloin wrote:+1 MPD32 & BCF2000kaffein wrote:Fuck me.
Anyone wanna buy a padKontrol and a bcr2000?
What's the estimated cost? £200? £250?

does akai allow native mode.. ? i think not
I wouldn't take use of the native mode, because I can't stand not having what things do labeled. I wouldn't want to label the PK for a specific app.
I may keep the bcr for video stuff, but I've been meaning to sell my PK, and it hasn't had much use.
Please say it has velocity sensitive pads, please please please, pretty please.

any chance for velocity sensitive pads on this beast .? . they say nothing about it so i guess not.
they actually dont give away too much , specification wise. guess it wont hit the market in the next month .. .
hoping for midi through too . . . .
