How can I assign different buttons to different ranges of the same knob. For exemple I would like to press button A and make the level of a know to 1/4, then pressing button B make the level of THE SAME knob to 1/8.

I tried with the ableton midi mapping bit I couldn't.

Any tip?

Thanks

Bomes to do some midi translating is your best bet......

how do i get the apc knobs to remember the proper values when shifting banks?

Inherent behaviour of the APC unfortunately, sorry to repeat myself but with Bomes you can solve this...

bomes it is!
how do i go about mapping that? i just need the values to be remembered for the pan and sends banks. the bottom 2 rows or eight knobs (device control) are hard mapped to some other crap =D

Try this first before going to bomes. Turn ON the output of the APC40 on the MIDI Sync tab on your preference. That solve mine and the other's issue. Peace!

just grabbed my apc yesterday, and it is fairly solid piece of gear. lovin it since first minute.

got just 2 complains:

- PSU is so noisy. I cant believe this passed Akai QA tests

- Why Akai didnt use motorized faders instead of normal ones??? my head cant get it...

other than that it is brilliant controller.

Ok, investigate global variables, you'll need to assign one to every knob in each of the three banks, then they need to record tha last velocity before switching banks and when returning to a bank fire these as midi messages back to the knobs themselves....

It'll take a while and a load of translators but it's much more effective than the standard mapping....

Cheers

There were some bad units out there in the beginning with this problem, guess you got one of em, return it for a replacement. It should be dead silent!

My unit is deffinitelly not the one "from begining" i guess. Ableton says it is obvious behavior, which piss me off, cuase i dont want to get it back and then wait few weeks till its reapired. shite!

You should be able to swap it if you picked it up at a retail store.

If you want it to be red, it has to be set up as control surface n.1 in the preferences.

Hey guys, I am wondering if there is a way to select/view individual clips from the APC... When I launch a clip from a different scene and then go to select my previous track, it always shows the track right beside the newly launched clip, not the clip playing on the track... And it makes me angry... Very angry...

Hi there, on my apc 40 i assigned the scene select to the cue knob but its way to sensitive so i wonder if its possible to ajust the sensitivity.

Aait!
