no rocket science, just made a big tank out of two small tanks. they're connected internally (4 small screws, 2 fat ones) and externally (bottom steel plate), seamless and sturdy as hell. at the moment each unit runs off a separate power supply and they're connected via a passive usb hub (no better solution for that I guess), but it works - and I'm currently digging through the awesome possibilities within maxforlive and looks like I'll be getting a one-off faceplate from djs face

OH NO! Why have I see this post... I need it now... out to grab it

Almost done with mine! An xacto knife worked for me, took some time but I was able to be really precise. Now i'm looking to skin it, although if dj face could make a custom plate that would be optimal.

videos???!!

relax, they're almost done. I'm not in the position to push delamar - and my video won't make much sense without its delamar counterpart.

we've talked about that. possible, but expensive (I'm talking about as much as an APC40 itself and that's just stupid) unless many people want one. also, the faceplate won't fit perfectly unless you made absolutely no mistake assembling the unit. but even that's hard to predict - remember that "dj's face" don't have an APC80 themselves so they can't make absolutely sure it's gonna fit. one millimiter can make a difference.

suggestion: it's already expensive and a faceplate is not gonna make it work better. drop it, at least for now.

update: just talked to Carlos (the guy who runs delamar) - apparently he's been sick in bed for the last couple of days. can't really blame him with all the content he had to work on during NAMM. I'm told the APC80 video is next, so this time I'm pretty confident we can expect it next week - which would go really well with the relaunch of my website

again, apologies for the delay!
