APC40MKII Sequencing Workflow (No Mouse)

No Talking. Unlock the fastest way to build a full track in Ableton Live – without touching your mouse. In this video I show my complete hands‑on workflow using:

AKAI APC40 mkII – for clip launching, mixer control and live arrangement
AKAI MIDIMIX – for detailed mixing, sends and effect control
Erik Heirman Ableton Template – pre‑routed and optimized for speed
Zensphere VST Instrument – the only synth used for all bass, melodic and harmonic sounds
Enhanced Mid/Side Mastering Chain – for a polished, wide, club‑ready master

🎧 What you’ll see in this demo:
0:00 – Intro & overview
0:50 – Using APC40MKII and MIDIMIX for mouse‑free production
1:26 – Preview of upcoming Sphere VST plugin for studio visuals
1:52 – Sharing which presets were used from Zensphere
3:08 – Vocoder sounds with Digitech talker
3:40 – Alan Watts samples
4:34 – Zensphere pad preset
