The APC's are not straight forward to use with software other than ableton from what I understand. I asked around about that because it would have been great for my lighting software. apparently they are not class compliant midi interfaces. Something was mentioned about starting ableton up first and then you could do user mode...sounded like a hassle to me. maybe you could write some software to get it working if your good at that stuff, me I moved on to other Ideas. will probably end up DIY'ing one at some point.
