Clips can be launched based on velocity sensitivity can't they? So maybe the clip launch buttons/pads will be velocity sensitive?

lol! Yes, I can't wait to perform with a table full of ipod touches... oh wait, that would suck. Badly.

no need, you can emulate it on your lemur anyways. argggh, if they wouldn't be so expensive, those lemurs ...

This is just fantastic. I'm so made up. I already have an MPK and MPD.

I don't expect it to be cheap but I hope the price is reasonable.
When can I order one?

wow, that's a lovely controller for Live, but I don't expect its price to be less than 600$ (oh yes 599, indeed)

i hope it's not cheap. i want The Live Controller to be built like a tank.

it definitely looks like it - the mpd32 or whatever it's called is ANYTHING but flimsy, so I reckon this will follow in its footsteps.

It would appear that Akai is now incapable of making anything small? Like, why the ENORMOUS KNOBS and fat base? These will be three times as big as the laptops they're controlling, hehe.

I hope it doesnt have the stupid bugs that the MPD32 has

hell, why not go the whole way? Run Live on its own Linux shell right from the APC hardware and plug a LCD in. You could probably fit most of a macbook in there.

Thats perfect. Want.

It is build like a tank.
It is just what i personally always dreamed of!
It looks and feels just gorgeous, nice that Akai now leaked it a few hours before the press release at NAMM, i wouldn't be able to talk about it now if they didn't and it was so hard to not talk about it during the last year :)
Another good thing: there's still so much more news coming today :-)

You talked about the LEDs, actually the LED states are yellow, green, red - for clip present, playing and recording.

dont feel like you have to hold back

so whats the protocol between this and live? is it done via the midi remote scripts and that new Framework setup?

aw FUCK. Awesome. You need to hook me up with one of these, bro!

oh yeah, I totally forgot, you guys have been snooping around the code! lol! Did you uncover any goodies?

do the lights go off if there's no clip there?
