right off the bat, how do you turn the tap tempo blinking button off

Another great review! Track also sounds really nice…

Thank you Marc!

To scroll around different devices in a track chain, you hold the device button, and then use the navigation arrows, in the bottom left. It would be really interesting to see the specific differences, comparing this to a Push 2. I like the sliders on this, but the Push 2 still has some pluses. Obviously, the Push 3 has some major advantages, as a controller, not even thinking standalone; at a much higher price point.

Hej Tefty, big fan of your channel, I was thinking: can you use the step sequencer in the APC64 instead of the one of MPC? I was thinking if it is possible to use the sequencer on the APC64 and then send the MIDI sequence to the MPC, to inject the step sequence into the step sequencer of the MPC?

I'm sure the first update or two will include settings for quantize that's a big oversight.

I'd love to be able to do this with a few elektron boxes. But I have never got technical like this. I'm familiar with the mpc an an I get great results from the digitakt an digitone.

You can adjust the CV settings directly from the device under the Global Settings

Is this only for the session view or arrangement too...im pretty sure both but when seeing these reviews its always discussed in session view

Have you tried Touch OSC on a tablet?

I've just bought an apc64, using it with ableton and it feels like there's a nearly a full second delay between hitting a pad and hearing the sound. Particularly noticeable on drum tracks where my finger has left the pad before i hear the drum hit. I selected reduced latency when monitoring, but it's not helping...do you have any trouble shooting tips?

Try adjusting your buffer settings and sample rate in Ableton settings? Also try to make sure you have the track that you’re currently playing through “selected” and not just record-enabled… you have to have the particular track you’re playing through “highlighted” aka “selected” for the reduced latency while monitoring (if I remember correctly). Make sure you turn off cpu-intensive plugins too, as well as any unnecessary applications you might have running on your computer. Make sure the apc64 has the latest firmware update, as well as Ableton. If none of this works, try starting a fresh project and see if you still have latency from the controller when you try it out with a single track open. If adjusting your buffering and sample rate doesn’t help here either, then try restarting your computer so it can clear all the old cache and try again. Lol I know this is a lot but this has become the story of my life as I’ve added new hardware and plugins to my setup over the past couple years. It’s always a pain in the ass for the most part since I’m using a MacBook with Apple silicon, which makes everything more difficult to just work right out the box. I hope this helps you though! Cheers!

Can we get some Push 3 content? All this other stuff seem like more of the same.

Nice track 👍. The product seems to have missed opportunities to add great value to its users.

A more advanced Launchpad pro 3?

Anyone else getting a Maschine Jam vibe from this? Akai picked up the ball that NI fumbled and ran with it.

That’s awesome! Feel free to reach out.

This was suppose to be Push 2...

It doesn't seem like a bad controller but the APC40 MK2 just seems way better for using with Ableton. Not just with the tactile controls but everything's directly there. You don't need to tell something to switch between volume and an controlling a device because it just has separate controls for that. And you don't need to page between functions to have a track record/solo/mute, each track just has a button for each of those on the APC40. Plus the crossfader and quick quantize buttons, it's far superior for that purpose. As a general purpose midi controller that can also sequence, this could be better if you don't prefer more tactile faders and knobs. But overall I think this is a huge downgrade. Which is too bad since I'm now looking to get a controller for Ableton and the APC40 is discontinued. I'd rather just get an APC Mini over this one to have the faders but that also lacks a ton of functionality that the 40 had.

So you are beta testing this device in public, (in two videos now) and finding out that basic, basic functions are missing. I don't know why Akai doing this to themselves, releasing this device with this limited functionality.

Only 32 steps is a deal breacker . Pitty

@@user-km8ym4un1o where do you see is 64 steps? I can't advice it if is a standalone 32 steps sequencer .

You are so cool:) Shall we connect?
