That looks like it's photoshopped or something, but you just never know with Akai. I remember wanting a MPD 24 and putting it off, and then one year later they released the MPD 32 which I now own.

Maybe a better version will be released next year.

Who knows?

deffinatly photoshoped. Looks nice though.

But I allways thought the 40 part was refering to the 40 clip launch buttons, so an apc 80 would (hopefully) have either 16 tracks (my wish - being able to mix 2 tracks with 8 stems each without moving banks) or 10 scenes...

agreed. I was gonna post mentioning that the 40 part is the number of clip buttons, but it was too much typing. it's just like monomes folks!

I reckon it'll be the apc64 next (8x8), and I doubt they'll add pads or anything else that's cool cus then no-one would want to buy MPCs or other akai products! A few more pots would be nice though

also, i think they would rather release a smaller, more handy version for easy traveling... APC20 ? APCmini ?

and something with less disco lighting and bus powered... before an even larger monster.


p.s. at least that is my hope.

what is the time frame between releases on controllers like this? you'd think seeing how they just released the apc 40 about 4 months ago that there would be a couple years in between releases of a new product or next generation product...and there are still people out there who still dont even have one yet and are still waiting lol

very hopeful they'll do a simpler version - just clip launch grid, no faders or knobs.
a nice big monome style clip launch grid - velocity sensitive, and a mackie control for all the other stuff.

19" Rackmount!!!
16 channels (not quite as crammed together)
motorized faders
and mackie c4 style multiple device control

+ seperate Pan & send controls above each fader, like in the op's pic (and return faders)

(If it supposed to be an all in one controller, then really ALL in one)
