The only thing that annoys me is adjusting the volume of tracks with a row of 10 buttons is al ittle imprecise. Although was chatting to someone at a party and apparently there's a work around but haven't followed it up yet.
write a simple max 4 live patch to control volume as you see fit and save it as one of the user functions on the lp.
Thats why this machine is so great, you can do ANYTHING.
To the guy looking at the apc20 and the launchpad, go wit the launchpad if you are running ableton 8 with max 4 live especially, the things you can do are phenomenal, and not so much limited by the hardware rather by your imagination.

I've ordered a LP as well should arrive any day. However, I hope the LP doesn't drive the monome out of business as the LP should give every thanks to monome folks who release emulators for free so the LP can act like a monome. This isn't to say it wouldn't have happened without folks like stretta due to the release of M4L, but I would hate to see that happenlivecollective wrote:having had a chance to mess with all the mentioned pieces of gear except the livid block, I bought and kept the launchpad...
...fcking amazing for live performance. When combined with max for live, its probably the ultimate live pa tool. The monome will probably go out of business because the launchpad does everything is does and more, for 300 dollars cheaper.
If you guys have some specific questions I'd be happy to answer them.
I had the same question about a week ago, and after scouring the various forums for nearly 3daysmiles wrote:i'm thinking of purchasing an apc20 or a launchpad. has any1 tested both of them and can tell me advantages and disadvantages?
apc20 can't compare, go wtih LP, this has been discussed quite a bit on the ableton forums also, I won't repeat, you'll see for yourself.
