Looks interesting. Could use an X/Y control, maybe, but otherwise covers a lot of ground. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't really see an LED :? . I assume this means to use the button array as an LED?

are you sure about that?

The price dif is about $400 US.

I was wanting one of those, but I think the APC40 will be perfect, it if integrates with Live the way they say.

I have wanted a dedicated controller for a DAW for so long, this is perfect. I don't like the one size fits all approach, which is what the ohm was the last time I checked.

It is very cool though, if money were no object, I would have had one a while ago.

It is a cut-down version of Live 8, but "workable" (and 'upgradable'), nonetheless.

I was wrong,

It looks like the price on the ohm wood has dropped.

For me, it's really important the APC40 is built to be used with Live.

If the ohm can do the same thing, then the games on!

cool. well ableton has always had light versions. i just think it's a good place to start rumours by saying you get the program with it.

anyways even if ohm wood was the same price i think i would go APC myself. since i'd be using it with Live it's a bit of a no-brainer on that one 8)

good year for controllers and groovebox stuff
