I love most things about this controller;
the sturdiness/quality, the layout/design, the feel/response of knobs, faders and buttons.
But.. The biggest reason why I bought the unit was because I was sure that the feature of setting lengths before recording audio clips was implemented, like in Ableton Push.
But since that's not the case, the controller has no use for me and I will probably get a Push instead.
Too bad, I prefer AKAI's layout with the faders.
If AKAI would implement that function (which should be possible), I would definitely go for APC40 mk2 again.
