![]() ![]() The biggest change, though, is with the pads the APC still has 40 pads in a 5x8 grid (barely enough to be worth having, in my opinion), but they've evolved from small dull grey squares to colourful rectangles - instead of the amber/green/red colour array, still found on the other APCs, the Mk II has a full RGB colour range, so for the first time on an APC you can see your clip colours laid out before you. It's great to have all of these available without resorting to function or Shift buttons - this makes a difference, especially in the heat (and low light) of performance situations. In place for each track is a stop button, as before, a track selection button, and dedicated buttons for mute, solo, crossfader assignment, and record arming. We're also happy to report that they all use proper, full-size USB connections.Īlso present are a footswitch jack, and a Kensington lock slot (the new APCs all have this slot). ![]() ![]() The package includes a USB cable, and a registration card for the software bundle, which includes Ableton Live Lite, 5GB of loop content, and the Hybrid and Twist soft synths all of the range has roughly the same extras. We don't think we ever had cause to use that anyway. USB power is obviously enough for this one - there's no mains power option any more. The crossfader's still present, although you can no longer replace it via the removable back panel found on the original APC. The control surface has been reorganised in key areas - the device control knobs stay put, but the pan/send knobs are relocated above the grid of clip launch buttons, in line above the track faders. ![]()
