I have been using my M-Audio UC-33e midi controller for quite some time now with Ableton Live 8, but I want to expand my setup with one of the following "touchpad" controllers:
- APC20
- APC40
- Novation Launchpad
First of all, I would like to know: does it work properly to have two midi controllers working at the same time? I know the APC uses a different view layout (with the red box to show where you are), would that harm the usage of my old UC-33e?
I would also like to hear your view on the above mentioned controllers. Which one is the best choice and why?
Cheers,
Need some advice: UC-33e + APC20/APC40/Launchpad

Well, you could map a few things to those buttons but I already have my gains on those so I am running out of optionsAlex Bizzaro wrote:Is it possible with the uc33 to launch the clip pressing the buttons on the right side?
@Rookas,
I've just compared the UK prices and APC40= 330 pounds, APC20= 180 pounds, Novation = 150 pounds.
I am not sure if the APC40 is that much better than a APC20, although a few extra nobs and faders could be handy. Nevertheless, 150 pounds extra is a lot.
Than there is the APC20 vs Launchpad, which is a difference of 30 pounds. I've never seen a launchpad in real life, so I can't really compare the material quality
