The APC40: A Review & Features of Akai's APC-40 Controller for Ableton

This video teaches you how to set up and use the Akai APC-40 controller, for use with Ableton Live. I talk about what it is used for, and how it can make a live performance easier for a DJ or other musician. There is no emphasis on an understanding of the technical aspects of MIDI.

Jonathan Clark has a large number of other music-related tutorial videos online, from traditional DJ'ing to computer-assisted DJ'ing, general audio production and studio engineering, and an extensive series on the use of the Ableton Live software.

The track heard at the end of this video is one that I hold the copyright to. If you want a free download, it's available on SoundCloud at this link:

Unfortunately, as of early 2014, YouTube annotations are not visible to mobile viewers, only to users watching on desktop browsers. I use annotations quite frequently to post clarifications and additional information during the video. For the best educational experience, you might prefer to watch this video in a desktop browser rather than on mobile, unless YouTube eventually fixes the mobile annotation deficiency.
