The APC20 controller is in place and I think have it set up nicely alongside the BCR2000. It suddenly opens up a world of direct access to as many faders as you have fingers. Hopefully you can hear a slight shift in these sets as I toy with the possibilities.

If you’ve become accustomed to your weekly dose of chill, apologies for skipping a beat last week. The show I intended to record and release was cancelled, and I got caught without a backup.

As I type, I’m awaiting the delivery of an Akai APC20 for Ableton Live. I’ve been trying to ween myself off using a mouse in Live and have pushed my Behringer BCR2000 into service as a controller. I’ve managed to set it up so I can control about 90% of a typical set with the BCR2000, but the 10% that remains makes it all too easy to fall back into the mouse-trap (ha!). Also, there are times that faders are just a better option than rotary encoders. I think I’ll be using the BCR2000 in addition to the APC20. I’m sure I’ll get it set up exactly to my liking once I’ve had a chance to play with it properly.
