I think it just has three colors to represent inactive, recording and playing. Very non scary.  It's no tenori-on.

Hi,
I heard that this Akai thing had buttons that light in different colours every time you press them, this scares me.

I suggest finding a retailer that will let you spend some time with the akai apc40 as it's designed for total mouse free performance.

Hi there,
I don't know if I told you but I'm blind. this prevents me from using a computer onstage because I would need to hear my screen reader speak while I'm performing. What a drag!

But I was told that Live could be used with a MIDI controller without having to use the mouse and look at the screen at all. How true do you think this is?
