APC40 - NativeKontrol apC-VC1 + Track Control

Post by Dalski » Fri Oct 02, 2009 8:22 pm

Ok so I got NativeKontrol apC-VC1 and am both delighted and disappointed...

Disappointed that the track control section does not control items that are racked / grouped, this means I can't use Tarekiths EQ's in the track control section :cry:

I would much rather lose the 3 EQ3 kill buttons (who uses EQ3 anyway? It sounds like shit!) and have the Pan button select the current (apC-VC1 default (minus the kills obviously)) behavior for the track control section, send A & B select between maybe 2 racks that are dynamic (how this would work I'm not quite sure as you would want additional effect racks in a track to use with the device control section) and keep the excellent snapshot function... which works on whatever of the 3 other devices are selected.

Ok I'm not even sure if this is possible, and if it is (with bomes) I just think that it will be uber hard to do, and a waste of £50 for the full bomes midi translator pro software because I just would never have the attention span to sit down, learn bomes and implement what I want to do (I have the attention span of a *insert something with short attention span here*) Hint: It's taken me over an hour to write this post, and i'm not even sure if it makes sense :?

It's all too much geekery

Oh and to top it all off, I'm also not sure if this post is a rant, a request, an idea (whether a good one or a bad one) or a cry for help / advice

Donations welcome :D

+1.

I use S4racen's custom APC40 template with Bome's and it's AMAZING. Plus, Darren (S4racen) has been incredibly helpful on the support side of things. Check him out at http://thestudiosessions.co.uk

really need Darren's preset. Can't seem to send him a request. Anyone know how to contact him for this preset. The email link in his first video is broken.
