Sounds great to have a options for Windows users. If it's confirmed that the Windows version works, I'll host it on my .Mac account too. The script modification sounds great too- I'll have to give this a shot.

Thought I'd post about how went about this. I didn't like the feel of the pads with the square tape bits (felt wobbly) so I wanted to make circular tape pads that matched the diameter of the original MPD pads.

Step 1. I got some aluminum foil and laid out a long strip of 1 1/2" plastic tape (Scotch ...

Hey Scott, looks like MobileMe changed to http://public.me.com/dstroud (check the LiveAPC40 folder).

P.I.C.N.I.C. ?

Not familiar with that, but I'm guessing it's like an ID 10-T (ID10T) error?

I'll check it out once I get a chance to install Snow Leopard- probably later this week. I have the disc but haven't had a chance to check it out.

Hopefully I have some time left on the Max demo.

Will the APC buddy allow all other info to pass through to the APC untouched?

In practice, yeah, but there is a catch. CC and Sysex is passed through as usual, but all notes can be modified. This means that some of the other pads may have their velocity changed by the mappings. I think that it ...

I put up a new version that will let you select which MIDI stream to use so that you can daisy-chain this with any other tools like Bome's or other Max patches as long as they use virtual ports. The idea is that other apps will create a virtual port that will feed into APC Buddy. APC buddy will then ...

Hey guys,

A new version of APC Buddy is up idisk.mac.com/dstroud-Public/LiveAPC40

It's mostly just cleaned up, but you can now save your settings. Let me know if it works for you.

If you're looking to change the colors because of difficulty distinguishing between the default LEDs, check out http://idisk.mac.com/dstroud-Public/LiveAPC40

Guys,

So that we don't hijack this thread any further, I'll put future updates about the APC Buddy color remapper on the previous thread at: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=116913&p=957592#p957592

The new version may work for some of you guys who can't distinguish any of the colors.

@dstroud

thanks that you made an application for this problem. Like you describe your app this would be exactly the solution for my problem.

I downloaded it but it does not work for me. I don´t have Max , so I opened the APC buddy app (this runs), but I it does not appear in the dropdown menu of ...

OK guys, good news. While I've been busy stirring up the hornet's nest, it turns out that this might not be a problem after all. I don't know why this was not working for me before, but I just tested again and it looks like we're not getting blocked- at least in version 8.0.5b8.

Sorry for wasting ...

Rich,

Yeah it most def will not work in 8.0.5 beta, only in 8.0.4. Also, my workaround won't work 100% if you can't tell the difference between any of the colors. There may be a couple of options if the Ableton guys don't cripple the functionality we have in 8.0.4.

1. Since LED feedback while ...

Rich,

I have some info on the MidiPipe workaround up at idisk.mac.com/dstroud-Public/LiveAPC40 but I don't think that Kai got this working. If you care to test this out, let us know if you have any luck. Also, I had the same thought about the LEDs, but they use tiny SMDs and I believe they only ...
