I have an Akai Apc-40 available if your interested. It hasn't gotten too much use. I also have Ableton Live 8 available.

I hate the UC33E. I can't believe people actually use it. I guess when it came out it was okay, and it does get the job done, but there are so many better options for not that much more money.....

Akai APC 40 is your best bet, this is the best price i've seen for a new one: http://www.audiolines.com/DJ-Equipm...1077/Akai-APC40

Also you can do the Novation Remote SL: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...O_SL_Mk_II.html

Just fyi I bought a brand new UC33e from a large electronics retailer on Ebay for $140 shipped. This was about a year ago. Here is a new one on Ebay for $170: http://cgi.ebay.com/Evolution-UC33E...#ht_2865wt_1167

Also I know you don't want to spend more than $300 but i've seen a few Korg Zero 8's pass through Ebay for $400-$500. Despite the Zero 8 not having the best layout I think this is an awesome price for what you get.

Gil, contacted you about the APC 40.

Still ll not sure if it has the layout I want.

Anyone know how the Bitstream 3X is. Think that's another oldie, but can get for under $300 on ebay .

I agree! I HATE my UC33E, piece of plastic Sh!t..

This one has the series of knobs I'd like. Don't like the left-to-right layout, but I don't mind rotary on the volume and while this one is meant for the Mixmeister software, I've read it works with everything in the end.


Just looks a bit cheap.
