Anyone here with access to an APC20?

Post by Hanz_Petrov » Sat Apr 17, 2010 4:39 am

Not sure if they are available in stores yet or not, but could someone with an APC20 tell me whether Note Mode sends MIDI data all on one channel - or does each button in a row send the same note, but on a different channel (similar to the APC40)?

Thanks in advance!

I think I've found the answer to my question - in the APC20 Quickstart Guide:
NOTE MODE – Press this button to put the CLIP LAUNCH / SESSION OVERVIEW buttons into Note Mode. In Note Mode, the 8x5 grid will be divided into two equal halves with each button representing a note in Ableton Live's Drum Rack. Moving left-to-right and bottom-to-top within the left half of the grid, the buttons ascend chromatically (C1, C#1, D1, D#1, etc.) from C1 to G2. The right half of the grid ascends similarly from G#2 to D#3. (This is ideal for using with Drum Rack, but it can also be used to play melodic lines with any MIDI device.)
Doesn't state which MIDI channel the notes are sent on, but it's obviously different than the APC40's grid of notes/channels.
