Jaz Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 So as we know I'm in brissy for stereo and looking to get myself a Controller for Chrissy, checked out StoreDJ, spoke to a bloke for a good hour, he highly recommended the mpk over the apc...said the mpk its more for production (what I want) and the apc is more for live performance and launching clips etcyou experienced producers are the the experts so I thought I'd askpro's I can see are:mpk has velocity sensative drum pads where as the apc just has standard buttons which u can program snare/kick,Hhat etc tohas the keyboard obviously, but the apc had the volume fadersmpk is about half the price as wellmpk25: http://www.storedj.com.au/products/AKA-MPK25apc40: http://www.storedj.com.au/products/AKA-APC40thoughts please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevChelios Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Obvious choice would be this http://www.storedj.com.au/products/AKA-MPK49apc does have a lot of advantages for production though, especially if you like working on the fly, but I would probably go with the mpk49 or the 61 if you have the cash.

Funky_Steve Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 The MPK 49 retails for around $1000 so Store DJ's current price of $449 is a bargain. Lightsounds also have it for $449. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Fo real? explains why i was so confused when most of the internet had it more expensive then SDJ, even ebay was more expensiveam hopefully puting it on order by the end of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I've got one of these i think it was sitting about $600 but its droped in the last 6monthsreally good. i havent used the auto map much i kinda prefer to map what ever i want. the pads have a really good feel and faders have a nice feel same with the keys. time division is pretty cool little feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomy Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 i'm using it with abelton, mainly with a live project i had going for a little while. i really like it. perfect size for having room to play everything and still being small enough to take places. no issues with the controler at all. such i shame i've got the delay from my computer happening. shits me sooooo much makes it so hard to play live.
