Finally got mine. I had placed an order on Amazon without realizing it was backordered, so I had to cancel that one and get on eBay. The thing is ridiculously intuitive. I've played with Ableton for a while just using my M-Audio keyboard and a mouse to control it. It was a bit clunky but I managed. The APC40, on the other hand, is smooth and nearly perfect. I'd say perfect but I'm sure I'll find a flaw sometime down the road.
I've mostly used Ableton for straightforward track-to-track mixing until now. I'm looking forward to getting deeper into some loop-based production now that I have the tools.
As to the review, I've only played with it for a few days but I'm in love. I only opened the manual to make sure I installed everything correctly. Other than that I was able to figure out most of the functions on my own within the first five minutes. It's a thing of beauty.
