Ableton Live 8 + Max + APC40 + suite

[Nahuel]

I want to upgrade to Ableton Live 8 + Max + APC40 + suite. (as soon as I get my new computer)

Well I want that stuff I've seen on their vids...

But I cant find any deal on that package on their website, looks like dont even sell max for live yet...

Max isn't out yet, it was announced, should be "later this year."

The hardware isn't actually an Ableton product, it's an AKAI Professional piece of kit so thus isn't sold by Ableton directly.

You can do the Live 8 Suite though!

Ok, thanks... :( ...I want my all in one box I can deal with getting the APC40 from Akai later but I think I'll wait for a suite+max offer before I upgrade.

Here is my understanding.

The APC40 will begin shipping the end of May.

Max for Live will ship when it is ready.

You can buy Ableton 8 Suite and Max now.

Max and Max for Live are separate products. Even if you have Max, you will still need to purchase Max for Live when it becomes available. However, you will get a discount, and having Max will give you functionality beyond what Max for Live offers--especially if you want to use Max for purposes other than Live.

Ok, yes I've been reading all that. But I dont want max, I want MFL and the modules they programmed (especially the step seq that works with the apc, I love 808 style step seq), I dont think I'll be creating tons of instruments but I'll be using the ones that come with it and the new stuff that will be created later.

I was just expecting a good deal on the whole package, I know that if you buy each element separately you end up spending a lot more, I'll wait a bit.
