Forgive me if I've missed this bit of information. Can Push and the APC40 be used at the same time? Are any of you doing this and how is it working? I like the extra device control and sliders on the APC40, but Push is obviously a revolution I want to get in on. If they both map automatically to the similar track grids (not the same since APC40 only has five rows), it could be a beautiful thing.

you can use them both at the same time.

the APC 40 is a clip launcher... so you could focus more emphasis on making drum beats, playing scales or other Live instruments with Push and/or... creating the clips for the APC 40 to launch.

you don't need both, but they can work in tandem. having additional knobs is always a good thing IMHO.

Thanks!! I'm saving for Push...

I have Push with Apc20 and i have a problem. I'm in a session view playing drums on push.I launch a clip with apc and then push changes from drums clip into clip that i have just pushed. I'd like to play drums,launch different clip with apc and still have drums on push. How to achieve it ? Thanks

I've found an answer.

Settings - Record warp launch - turn off "select on launch"

^ i also found this:

How would you combine the apc 40 with push in one setup?
