The APC40 was designed to be a controller for Ableton Live software. If you wanted to control a hardware synth or drum machine you would have to have a computer and software in the middle between the APC40 and the hardware device. The MIDI note numbers, channels and CC numbers cannot be edited on the APC40 (unless you use Max for Live), so you would have to edit the hardware device to conform to the APC40. To request more information (as soon as we know it!) simply fill in the details and we’ll get back in touch.
