that is way cool. Im also an Ableton fan and plan to use my apc in the same way once I figure out how to make it! Im kind of an electronics dummy, Ive mostly only bent speak and spells and casiotones but Im ready to try a project like the apc. My stupid questionis are .... 1) I have found several diagrams for the apc like the one at the link you posted using stripbaord. I found some stripboard like thing at Rat Shack, but it doesnt have solid long copper strips, more like each whole surrounded by a copper ring. 2) Im not sure how things actually have to be wired (or if) together once on the the back of the board...) Hard to tell from the youtube vid, but it looks like your tupperware apc is on a breadboard? Any advice for the newbie would be appriciated. thanks!!
