Is that the same model as the ableton one they used to be selling? If not, anyone know what model of backpack that was. I'd like to get one but I guess they are no longer selling the ableton one.
The limited edition laptop bag Ableton used to have was called the "Nerdbag", made by Airbag Craftworks. They are not cheap.

+1 for the UDG messenger bag, though I think a laptop AND the APC-40 would be a tight fit...

I didn't see any on their site. I thought someone had posted that Dell had the same model in their line. ?

Erm, my mistake... I just realized you were referring to a backpack, and not a laptop bag.d

I'm talking about the limited edition backpack that had a picture of the APC40 in it.

Well, I received my APC 40 today and I have had messed around with it a bit. First, it is real nice to look at and fits well in my setup. Now, first the bad news...crossfader is malfunctioning. It is very erratic in the control...basically not working sometimes and then other times it doesn't reflect the true position on the APC. I am currently troubleshooting and will report back ASAP. The good news is that everything else works like a charm!
peace

All is well after I repaired my permissions and rebooted my Mac. That's probably the first time I've had to do this to fix a problem in a long ass time so it's good I did it prior to cursing out Akai! :)

fuck yeah, cancelled my pre-order due to no step sequencing without M4L, but the green one i'd probably get for the sex factor alone :lol:

Someone on CDM was saying that the red color is in record mode & green is play mode.

Would be cool if someone could confirm!
