DJ controllers

Review: The Akai APC20 is the ideal controller for performers who need to perform in a small amount of space, and with maximum portability. Co-designed with Ableton, it's mapped for Ableton Live, and is fully customisable. With a smaller footprint than the APC40, it enables musicians to create a personalized setup with multiple APCs, effects controllers, and other devices. It's a link between human and computer that perfectly balances analytical parameter control with creative expression. Whether you are an electronic music artist and Live is your canvas, a DJ using Live to mix or remix tracks, or a more traditional musician using Live on stage or in the studio, you will find the APC20 to the intuitive, powerful instrument that directly links your inspiration with Ableton Live.

Nine faders are provided, which you can assign to volume control, pan, sends, and a choice of three user-mapped modes. You have even more control power with special controls including Tap Tempo, Record Enables and solo/cues. A User Mode enables you to use the Clip Launch buttons to control instruments and the Drum Rack. The Clip Launch matrix uses multicolor lighting to display current clip status.

The APC20 comes with Ableton Live Akai Professional APC Edition software, which is fully functional for performance and production. Owners of the full edition of Ableton Live 8.1.3 or higher can also work seamlessly with the APC20 and Live 8.1.3 has full support for the APC20.

USB MIDI controller with Akai APC40 edition of Ableton Live software

Review: The Akai APC40 Ableton Performance controller is the world's finest Ableton Live control surface. Ableton and Akai Professional worked in a joint partnership to make the Akai APC40 the perfect Ableton Live control surface. Whether you are an electronic-music performance artist and live is your canvas, a DJ using live to mix tracks, or a traditional musician using live on stage or in the studio, the Akai APC40 is designed to be an intuitive and powerful control.

Because Akai Professional and Ableton designed the APC40 for live, you don't need to map its controls to talk to the software. Just connect your laptop to the APC40 with its USB cable and you're ready to make magic. The APC40 is class compliant, so you don't even need to install drivers. If you're an advanced live user, the APC40 gives you the ability to remap every one of its controls to suit your own style.

The APC40 talks directly to live and live talks directly to the APC40. This exclusive bidirectional communication makes the APC40 an advanced controller in that it can receive feedback from the software and display it on its clip matrix of 40 triggers and on LED rings surrounding each knob. The clip matrix gives you an instant view of clip status: what's loaded, what's playing and what's being recorded. Each state displays on the matrix in a different colour so you can get a quick picture of clip state. You can shift your clip focus and get an overview of the clips you have loaded for your set. The APC40 has 16 knobs, each surrounded by a ring of LEDs. These LED rings make seeing your settings a breeze on dark stages, indicating the currently selected parameters' values. This advanced visual feedback makes performing with the APC40 focused more on the music and less on squinting at the computer screen. In fact, you might even forget that the computer is there.

Ableton selected Akai Professional as a partner because of its leadership position in great-feeling controllers that are rock solid, rugged and precise. Akai Professional is revered by musicians, DJs and producers everywhere for creating the feel that powers their creativity. The APC40 is built with a rugged, metal chassis and slip-proof rubber detailing. Knobs and faders are solid and precise for pinpoint performance. It even features a high quality, replaceable crossfader.

The APC40 comes with a special edition of Ableton Live Lite so you can use it out of the box even if you're new to Live. There's also a free patch that upgrades full versions of Live so if you're already a Live user, you can take full advantage of the APC40. The APC40 has 2 banks of 8 knobs. The first set controls global parameters so you'll always have instant access to your main sends, pans and other essentials. The second bank of 8 knobs is dynamically reassigned to the track you select. You can control 8 track parameters at a time and as you switch channels, the Track knobs follow your focus. You also get special clip-status views and feedback that only the APC40's matrix can display. The matrix is not limited to only 40 clips: you can scroll and shift, enabling access to an unlimited number of cells. The APC40 has a wide range of controllers. The 8 global knobs can access 4 banks of controls; the 8 track knobs control 9 different track parameters each. This gives you a massive total of 72 controllers that are dynamically reassigned. Channel faders, bus faders and a crossfader give you smooth control of key values. You have even more control power with special controls including tap tempo, tempo nudge, record enables, solo/cues and 2 assignable footswitch inputs.

Designed in partnership with Ableton, the APC40 is the most advanced live controller for the most advanced performers.

2-deck DJ controller with audio outputs

Review: The Hercules DJ Control AIR is a 2-deck DJ controller with 2 pressure sensitive jog wheels, 8 velocity sensitive pads and the exclusive AIR contact-less control module for complete control over mix, sync and effects. Touch sensitive jog wheels provide intuitive switching between scratch, pitch bend and browsing within tracks. The 8 velocity sensitive pads control the sampler, loops and effects. Pads can be set as on/off or gradual controls and the inner backlight shows pad activation.

The Hercules AIR control is a contact-less sensor that lets you control features with a wave of your hand and works under all lighting conditions. It features on on-board sound card with a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mini jack for the main output and a 1/4" stereo headphone jack for cue/preview.

The DJ Control AIR is the first DJ controller for computers featuring touch and air control AIR or adjustment by infraRed is a totally new control for computer DJ mixing consoles. The infrared proximity sensor built into the unit lets DJs control their choice of function (volume level, effects, etc.) without touching the controller, simply by moving their outstretched hand above the sensor. It's like there's magic in the air when performing a set. The AIR control functions regardless of the ambient lighting, allowing users to modulate a software setting quickly and intuitively no matter where they are entertaining.

Thanks to its 2 pressure-detecting jog wheels, the DJ Control AIR is perfect for scratching. The jog wheels, each 4" in diameter, detect the pressure exerted by the user's hand. As a result, the feeling when scratching is as natural as when scratching on a vinyl record or a CD turntable, ideal for learning and perfecting scratch techniques, just like on professional DJ hardware. The jog wheels also allow for easy control of the pitch bend function, as well as browsing through playlists.

In the style of celebrity DJs, Hercules have included 2 sets of 4 progressive pads for users looking to control sounds with a minimum of gestures. These pads transmit a command and its velocity, to control loops, samples or effects. Just tap your finger on a pad to play an effect, for example: the pad lights up when touched, and transmits not only the on/off command, but a gradual command as well. This lets the user easily vary the attack of a sound sample, or its volume, or modulate the amplitude of an effect. The backlit pads, along with the lighting on the other controls, allow for easy viewing even in low-light or dark conditions.

Taking a great leap forward in the world of mixing, Hercules have created an intuitive ensemble of controls on a unique mobile control surface. These controls have typically been only available to seasoned musicians via multiple controllers, each of which is programmable and/or dedicated to a specific function. The DJ Control AIR also features built-in audio outputs.
