Live Controller Questions: APC40, Launchpad, MicroKontrol...
Posted: Wed Dec 09, 2009 2:04 pm
So I'm having a tough time figuring out the best solution for my needs. I've been working with Live since version 6. I've never become comfortable with the software based workflow. I think that this is primarily do to the lack of a solid controller.
Since day 1 with Live I've been using the microKontrol. It is a VERY flexible unit... and I've spent quite a bit of time configuring different templates for different needs.
I'm looking to revise my workflow and am trying to decide whether I should change my controller.
I've been looking at the APC40 and launchpad.
My needs include: launching scenes, auto control over instrument and effects racks, keys on occassion, drum triggering within drum racks.
Should I stick with the microKontrol and get the Launchpad???
Should I get rid of the microKontrol and get the APC40 and possibly the Akai keys and drum triggers???
Many thanks for any input from this great community!
