Akai APC 40 Problem

Post by Destro » Fri Jun 05, 2009 3:10 pm

Just got it today and it's amazing! One problem tho: the bank selector on the GUI is orange, not red. To those who own it, any idea how to change the colour? Thanks!

Mine is orange too. I think the ring color is tied in with skin color, though I have not experimented with skin colors since I got the APC.

Hey guys,
Each control surface category selection row in the MIDI Sync preferences utilizes a different color.

Red is line 1
Orange s line 2, etc

So if you have the APC40 on line 2 in the Control Surface menu it will be orange instead of red

Think 6 APC40's at once going to battle http://forum.ableton.com/posting.php?mo ... 5813d04e9b#

My APC's knob led's don't look the same matrixy green from the online vids. They actually look yellowish green.

Also... I don't get that cool Nokia phone snake game style motion in the LED's when I switch my unit on. Think I need to send it to get refurbished.
