Oh Lordy! Would You Look At This Beauty....

Ableton's NAMM showing has caused an explosion of excitement with the announcement of this stunning new controller built in collaboration with AKAI.

Not only that, Live 8 was unveiled, packed with a host of new features, many of which the Ableton faithful have been asking for repeatedly. 

In addition, Ableton's partnership with Cycling 74 has resulted in a new Max For Live framework that will allow you to get under the hood of the APC-40 and build your own instruments and effects.

So many new goodies to look forward to. Lots more info on the official site.

The APC-40 is available for pre-order on several sites for £399 or $399.
