Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An unofficial Ableton Live remote script that adds sequencing, scale-aware pads, audio chopping, and meters to the Akai APC40 mkII.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.
For
APC40 mkII owners using Ableton Live 12.3+
Worth noticing
The page says the controller’s pads remain full-velocity; its sequencers instead offer five velocity levels per step.

Field notes

The installation is a single folder placed in Live’s User Library, then selected in Preferences before restarting Live. The page also offers a 39-page illustrated manual covering modes, buttons, and lights, and says the script preserves the APC’s familiar clip launching, mixer, sends, devices, and transport. It requires the mkII—not the first APC40—and Live 12.3 or later.
