Using two Akai Apc 40 with Cs step sequencer

 Hi,
I have two Akai Apc 40 and I was wondering if this could be possible. As you know the akai has a 8x5 grid. When Loading the Cs Step Sequencer included in Max for live and selecting the apc, sequences can only be 1 Bar long (8 beats) which is the lenght of the grid on the Apc. I was wondering if there´s a way two use both of the grids on the Apcs, so instead of 8 beats you could have 16. So the first 8 would be controlled by the first Apc, and 8-16 from the second Apc. I have tried everything without success, even the new Novation Max4live Launchpad step sequencer, because it has a feature called, second page, and you can edit beats 8-16. I guess this could be done somehow in Max4live, but it would be needed to select 2 contol surfaces as for beats 1-8 and a second surface for beats 8-16. I feel sequecences of 8 beats are quite short, I know you can have 16 beats on the apc, but its quite confussing because pattern show from beat 1-8 and the 8-6, I would really like to see the whole sequence from 1-16on the two apc (APC1 ( Beats 1-8) Apc2 (Beats 8-16) Any ideas??? Can this be done with two Launchpads maybe? Thanks a lot
